What’s New In Food This Month

Nicolas Rouzaud has just opened his first all‑day café, Le Café – a love letter to the French gourmand traditions that shaped his childhood. Set beneath the arches of Burlington Arcade, the space is filled with lacquered red interiors, while its seasonal menu is built around Rouzaud’s signature precision – think treats like brioche à tête, soup served in a bread loaf and a twist on the classic Victoria sponge. Coffee is treated with pâtisserie‑level intent, while cocktails echo his next-level desserts.

KitchenAid has expanded its countertop line‑up with a semi‑automatic espresso machine designed for home baristas who want café‑level results without the faff. The stainless‑steel build, dual‑temperature sensors and 58mm commercial‑style portafilter offer impressive control, while the fast‑heating system means you can pull consistent shots in seconds. A powerful steam wand creates smooth microfoam for flat whites and cappuccinos, and the intuitive interface keeps the process simple. The brand has also launched its new Pure Power Blender if you’re after a full kitchenware reset.

The yellow‑topped rosé making waves in St Barths has arrived in the UK, with Hanikon now available exclusively at Harrods for £35. Crafted in Provence at Domaine La Roullière, it blends grenache, cinsault, mourvèdre, vermentino, syrah and cabernet‑sauvignon for a bright, expressive style: red berries, citrus zest and white florals on the nose, followed by crisp acidity, subtle minerality and a lightly spiced finish. Already poured at Robuchon Monaco and Eden Roc St Barths, it’s a versatile, year‑round rosé built for everything from oysters to après‑ski.

M&S has launched ‘Only… Ingredients’, a new back‑to‑basics range built around short, simple ingredient lists and everyday staples. The collection spans cereals, breads, dairy, snacks and store‑cupboard essentials, each made with as few ingredients as possible while maintaining the flavour and quality M&S is known for. Think crisp corn flakes, steel‑cut porridge, fluffy rolls, date bars and even sausages and burgers made with minimal additions. It’s a timely move for shoppers looking for clarity, transparency and fuss‑free food that still tastes good.

REP is the Manchester‑born drinks brand built around a simple idea: fuelling daily routines with clean, functional hydration. Known for its electrolyte and vitamin drinks, the brand focuses on low‑calorie blends designed to support recovery and everyday energy. Flavours include ‘Raspberry Lemonade’, bright ‘Tropical’, crisp ‘Lemon & Lime’ and a sweeter ‘Blue Raspberry’, all boosted with electrolytes for hydration. The protein shakes follow the same approach: smooth, easy‑drinking blends in flavours like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, designed to mix well and avoid the chalkiness of typical gym‑aisle options.
