What’s trending?
Pineapple
2018 might be the year of the pineapple, as demand for the tropical fruit is at an all-time high. Tesco recently reported its pineapple sales up by 15% from last year. Turn to page 52 to make our pork & pineapple skewers.
Greaseproof notebook
Are you a home cook with a notebook full of stained, barely legible recipes?
Then this one’s for you.
This notepad by Stone Notebook is made from a water- and greaseresistant material, meaning you can be as messy as you like, but your notes will remain clean!
Ruby chocolate
Completely free from colourings, flavourings and additives, ruby chocolate is made using ruby beans found in Ecuador, Brazil and the Ivory Coast. The beans have a fruity flavour, resulting in a bar that tastes like white chocolate with a berry tang. Both Fortnum & Mason’s and Kitkat have recently launched ruby chocolate bars.
Goat
Once an under-used meat, goat is getting more popular and we’ve seen it on lots of restaurant menus recently. You can now buy it in selected Morrisons stores and on ocado.com.
Peruvian cuisine
Following the final week of Masterchef in April where contestants travelled to Lima, online searches for Peruvian holidays and recipes, particularly picarones (Peruvian doughnuts), increased significantly.
