Afro Vegan Cookbook
Afro Vegan is a new cookbook drawing inspiration from the explosive colours and flavours of West Africa. First-time author Zoe Alakija has tapped into her British-Nigerian heritage to create over 50 eclectic fusion recipes, including jollof arancini, cassava gnocchi, plantain brownies and hibiscus and coconut ice-cream. Styling and photographing all the recipes in the book herself, you won’t be able to resist the urge to replicate some of Zoe’s dishes at home.

Mon Dessert Home-Making Kits
Mille Feuille (translated to mean ‘a thousand layers’) is delicately crisp dessert which now you can make at home.

Pre-weighed ingredients, handy tools and videoed instructions will help you create a showstopper, though, topped with that distinctive chevron icing.

Umami Gin
If you’re looking to spice up your gin repertoire, try Umami Gin. The base flavour comes from hand-picked Sicilian capers, which are distilled under vacuum at 45°C and combined with an infusion of glutamate-rich parmesan cheese. The liquid is then combined with bergamot and juniper distillates before the blend is left to rest in an old cognac barrel for several months, giving it a unique, fresh and lightly savoury quality.
Available here from 18th May
Notorious Nooch Co
Notorious Nooch Co. has launched the UK’s first ever, naturally flavoured nutritional yeast. Cheesy Immature and Smoky Bacon were both created by toasting yeast flakes to bring out their natural intensity, and contain fewer than five (all natural) ingredients. Flexible and versatile, the flakes can be sprinkled onto practically anything to add extra cheesy flavour – from pizzas and pastas, to greens and popcorn.

Pretzel Pete
To say Pretzel Pete’s range of snacks are moreish would be an understatement. Pennsylvania-born Karl Brown fell in love with pretzels while living in Germany – so much so that when he returned to America, he quit his job in the corporate world to focus on recreating his favourite crunchy snack. Gently soaked in unique flavours and slow baked in small batches, the snacks are GMO free, contain zero artificial flavours, colour, preservatives and saturated or trans fats.

After more than 80 tastings, Savor now offers local recipes and curated music playlists to accompany each of their wines, which can be accessed via the QR code on the bottle.

The Cotswolds Distillery Summer Cup
This year’s blend from The Cotswolds Distillery uses its award-winning gin as a base, which is then blended with a splash of handcrafted oloroso and pedro ximenez sherries and finished with select herbal and spice essences. The result is a distinctively rich and fruity mix, with a complex bittersweet finish. Top it up with lemonade or ginger ale, and garnish with fresh fruit, cucumber and mint.
