New in the Kitchen February 2016

February 29, 2016 By All That I'm Eating 8 Comments

Corkers Crisps

Although February is the shortest month, this year it seems to have dragged on for some time. Not necessarily a bad thing as it has given me plenty of time to munch (and drink) my way through all sorts of different products that have appeared in my kitchen this month. If you’re looking for new snack ideas, there are several to check out in this post alongside a bottle or two of wine and some lovely frozen fruit and vegetables.

I do like a good old crisp. Ready salted, salt and vinegar or cheese and onion are my go to flavours but it’s always interesting to try something new. As you can see I had a whole host of flavours to try from Corkers. Three types of vegetable crisps: sweet potato with chilli, parsnip with honey and black pepper and simply salted beetroot, parsnip and sweet potato. For the potato flavours: sausage and english mustard, duck and hoisin sauce, sweet Thai chilli, salt and cider vinegar, salted, cheddar cheese and chive and salt and pepper. I’ll be honest and say that I liked them all but the flavours that I particularly enjoyed were the parnsip, honey and black pepper (like a batch of home roasted parsnips) and the sweet Thai chilli (not too hot, a really nice flavour). I have seen corkers in a few pubs so if you fancy something different with your pint or G&T, give these a try! read more

New In The Kitchen January 2016

January 29, 2016 By All That I'm Eating 8 Comments

It’s been another busy month in the All That I’m Eating kitchen, there’s been all sorts to try. I do love getting a parcel that’s full of something new or different that I may not have heard of or tried before; there’s always something going on! This new in the kitchen January round up is no different; pandan extract, elderflower iced tea and a whole host of things made out of coconut. I only ever put up products that I feel are worth trying; ideas for you to keep your eyes peeled for when you’re out and about. read more

Christmas Food and Gift Guide

November 27, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 7 Comments

Berry Brothers and Rudd

If someone is kind enough to get me a gift for Christmas I love it when said gift is food or food related. I think it’s a very personal thing to give, whether it be something they have made themselves or taken time in choosing for you. This is my Christmas Food and Gift Guide; a range of different food and drink ideas from all sorts of places and companies.

Berry Brothers and Rudd had their Christmas preview all the way back in July when I ventured to the famous shop in London to learn more about their festive offerings. There were plenty of fabulous hampers, some just wine and some wine and food, to see and they all sounded great. A particular mention must go to the Cambrook caramelised peanuts that come in one of the hampers, they were absolutely delicious. Their signature gin (above) was very enjoyable too. Berry Brothers and Rudd don’t have a fantastic reputation and pedigree for nothing so you know if you’re getting wine from them it will be a fine example of that wine. They have launched their new book ‘Exploring and Tasting Wine’ which I am keeping my fingers crossed I get a copy of this year! Exploring and Tasting Wine is £30 and their hampers start at £31.50. read more

ABF Soldiers Cookie Roulette

It’s been a very busy time in the ATIE kitchen over the last few weeks, I have only just got round to writing this post! There have been some fab products to try out this month and last, and as usual, a good variety too. This month we’ve got: cookie roulette, Korean sauces, yoghurt, salami and milk. I didn’t try them all in one sitting of course!

First up I tried out cookie roulette! Each year ABF, The Soldiers’ Charity raises money for soldiers, veterans and their families and this year every box of these cookies sold means £2 gets donated to the charity. They are available here. I love that they are shaped like a chilli and it was good fun trying not to choose the one with chilli in. Luckily I didn’t get it as I had a nibble and it is unbelievably hot! read more

Crussh Book

October 15, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 8 Comments

The idea of smoothies and juices I really like; getting the nutrients (with or without the fibrous parts) in a convenient way really appeals. Not least because it gives me something to do with a fridge full of vegetables other than soup. The only thing that puts me off is the thought I needed another piece of kitchen equipment to be able to make my own. The publishers of Crussh, Nourish Books, got in touch to see if I’d like to try out the new book. I asked if a juicer was necessary and they said it wasn’t so I was looking forward to giving one of the recipes a try. read more

New in the kitchen for Organic September

September 29, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 1 Comment

This month’s ‘new in the kitchen’ post is all about organic products. As it’s Organic September it seems only fitting that all the new products I’ve been trying are both tasty and organic. Quite a mix this month too; tea, snacks, oatcakes and pies.

First up I tried the Caramel Rooibos Tea from Kromland Farm. They’ve been growing rooibos in South Africa since 1902 and produce all their teas in Britain. I have to say I tend to prefer a single estate tea (which Kromland is) to a blend, there’s something so nice about knowing it’s the produce all from one area rather than a mix from all over the place. I really like the flavour of this; it’s certainly rooibos but the hint of caramel gives it an additional flavour without being too overpowering. There’s no added sugar so although it feels like it’s a sweet treat it’s actually not; and I like that. All the treat and none of the guilt. I’ve enjoyed switching to this instead of my normal ‘builders’ cuppa. read more

New in the kitchen August

Mash Direct Vegetable Burgers Pack

I know it’s technically September now and I’m slightly delayed in posting this but better late than never! I had all sorts of different things arrive on the ATIE kitchen table in August; burgers, soup, yoghurt and gin. All from some fab British companies. Take a look at what was new in the kitchen in August.

Mash Direct Vegetable Burgers
Mash Direct are based in County Down making all sorts of vegetable and potato products using older heritage varieties of veg (which they grow on their farm) in their dishes. I tried out their Vegetable Burgers with Cabbage; bread crumbed mash filled with broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, cabbage and parsnip.
I was really surprised how fresh the vegetables tasted and the balance of flavours was lovely. I cooked mine in the oven but you can also grill or BBQ them according to the pack; served in a nice fresh roll with mayonnaise they were surprisingly filling. I would definitely look out for these again as well as the other products they make. read more

New Products in the Kitchen - All That I'm Eating (1 of 5)

It’s been a really varied month in the All That I’m Eating kitchen this month with all sorts of different things to try. Luckily I’ve been able to enjoy most of them sat outside in the sunshine!

First up I tried the new Butter and Mint flavoured crisps from Tyrrells. I wasn’t quite sure what the butter would be like on the crisps and whether the flavour would come through but they tasted lovely. Especially outside on a Saturday evening waiting for a BBQ! Minted and buttered new potatoes are always welcome as far as I’m concerned so I think these work really well as crisps. read more

New products in the kitchen Tyrells Poshcorn

It’s great to try out new products in the kitchen, here’s what I’ve been trying this month.Tyrrells Poshcorn

I love the packaging on the Tyrrells Poshcorn and it’s not all style over substance either. I tried the Sweet and Salt, Lightly Salted, Coconut Caramel and Lemon Cupcake. I think the sweet and salt was my favourite (it always is!) but I loved the combination of caramel and coconut. I wouldn’t normally go for lemon cupcake flavour but after having tried it I really liked it; citrusy, sweet and slightly tangy this flavour was really different and enjoyable. I’ll be looking for some other interesting flavours to try when I’m out and about. It was really nice to have something other than crisps to have as a snack with my lunch too and I was pleasantly surprised at the (low) calorie count on all the flavours. Almost guilt free! read more

Rocket Gardens

June 8, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 9 Comments

I’m not going to lie. I haven’t been donning my gardening gloves recently as much as I have done in the past. Apparently as you get older you get inexplicably busier and growing my own fruit and veg took a back seat while I was getting on with many other things. Rocket Gardens got in touch to see if I would like to try out one of their kits. Their Patio Container garden seemed like the ideal one for me; lots of it can be grown in pots or grow bags which means minimal prep and digging for me! read more
