Melvin and his team has done an outstanding job by developing these user friendly water baths for the kitchen. The digital temperature control is outstanding, every water bath is build and tested by hand. These guy’s take the manufacturing of these water baths very serious.
Food Safari
Food Safari founders Polly and Tim Robinson shares a passion for sourcing, cooking and eating food made from fresh local produce. They left the bright lights of London City to move tho the countryside and settled for Suffolk. Wise move indeed as Suffolk is firmly on the food map and its outstanding natural countryside and coastal beauty combined with an abundance of local producers, restaurants, specialist food shops and the acclaimed annual Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival makes it a perfect destination for foodie holidays.
Mr.P and I found Food Safari via the powers of Twitter, we attended a few of Polly’s incredibly well organised Food Safaris. We normally leave armed with inspiration and our batteries are well and truly charged with new ideas.
What I love about Polly and Tim’s approach is that they kindly and firmly reminds us where our “daily bread” (I mean food) comes from. Food Safari is not only a fun and relaxing day out in Suffolk but it’s also creating that all important bond of respect for the artisan producers.
After each trip I get the chance to bring home some of the fruits from the earth and sea. I usually cannot wait to put my apron on and start creating, paying homage to the fantastic produce found on a Food Safari trip.
- Lightly Smoked Lobster with Sea Purslane and Suffolk Samphire
- Forest Cappuccino with Beefsteak Croustades
- Pheasant Forestiere with Wilted Wild Watercress

One of the best organic farms in Britain. After visiting the farm and seeing first hand the passion that goes into every square meter of this amazing farm from rearing the traditional Hereford cattle to growing the hops for the Laverstoke park ale, a must visit.
Meyer Commercial ware

I believe that Meyer Commercial ware is a brand to rely on. The best discovery is that they do not break the bank balance with a added bonus of fantastic quality. They have some great designs, my favourite is the flared saute pan.

It’s brilliant, the vouchers make brilliant Christmas presents too.

I have been using Vegetarian Express for many years and found they are always coming up trumps on new and exciting ingredients to play with. If you are like me and always scratching your head for veggie or vegan ideas these are the guys for you. They also stock a great selection of spices that’s been gas flushed. This means that the spices has not been heat treated, most importantly they keep their essential oils and natural aromas. You can order on line from Vegetarian Express and it does not matter how bit or small your order.
