What’s New In Food This Month
Grape & Fig
Like so many catering companies, Grape & Fig have been forced to pivot their business as a result of the pandemic – and the best bit about that is, you no longer need to be putting on a party for all your friends and family to enjoy one of their renowned grazing platters. Their new graze box comes delivered straight to your door, and includes a selection of antipasti, cheese, olives and so much more – plus, starting at just £30, they’re pretty good value when it comes to splurging on something special right now.

Hacks Cookbook
Have you ever wondered how chefs get so much flavour into what they cook, or how they make what’s on the plate look so good? The answer lies in the likes of purées, oils, brines, cures, preserves and marinades – simple elements you can easily recreate in your own kitchen. This definitive new cookbook for ambitious home cooks gives you the tools to create restaurant standard food in your own home. Revealing the secret hacks used by some of the UK’s finest chefs to elevate their dishes, you’ll find inclusions from the co-founder and head chef at Koya, Shuko Oda and the Galvin brothers.

Cake or Death Brownies
These fudgy, indulgent and moreish brownies come from a bakery in East London and are available to order online for hassle-free delivery through your letterbox. Beautifully packaged in pink leopard print, consider it a luxury treat – although they also happen to be vegan.

Nim's Edible Teas
This loose-leaf edible tea range is made using a nutritious combination of air-dried fruit and vegetables. When steeped in hot water, intense aromas fill the room and, once the tea has been enjoyed, the fruit left behind is fully rehydrated and ready to eat. Alternatively, enjoy these rehydrated fruits on top of porridge or yoghurt.

Strp’d Flour
New 'no-nasties' brand Strp’d has launched an innovative flour-alternative – Tigernut flour – which comes stripped of all nasties, gluten, nuts, dairy and refined sugar. Tigernuts aren't actually nuts, they're nutrient-dense tubers, and it’s their tiger-like stripes which give them their name. Unlike other alternative flours, you can replace it for regular flour in most recipes but because it has a naturally sweet taste, Strp'd recommend halving the amount of sugar/sweetener to make every bake healthier.
