ANNA’S FOOD PICKS

July’s shopping inspiration from food and reviews writer Anna Lawson

1 Casa Firelli Italian hot sauce

(148ml) £3.95, Amazon

Love hot sauce on pizza? Firelli’s Italian chilli sauce has a fruity heat from Calabrian chillies and roasted red peppers, sweetness from balsamic vinegar and extra savoury notes from garlic and porcini mushrooms – it’s perfect with pizza or in a Bloody Mary.

2 Lucy’s roasted garlic and pepper mayo

(240g) £3.49, Ocado

This creamy mayonnaise tastes homemade, with a nice, natural roasted garlic flavour. It’s delicious with chips, lamb flatbreads or slathered on burgers.

3 Breda Murphy meals

from £55 (for

3 x single meals, 3 x single desserts,

1 x loaf cake), bredamurphy.co.uk Lancashire-based restaurateur Breda Murphy’s frozen meals are more restaurant kit than ready meal. Standouts are the generously portioned, nutritionally balanced chicken breast, leek & mushroom pie; the chickpea, tomato and potato curry, and the Irish whiskey sticky toffee pudding.

4 Belazu truffle & pecorino nut mix

(135g) £4.95, Waitrose & Partners Perfect for a picnic or served alongside drinks, these nuts are tossed in a pecorinio romano cheese and white truffle coating, which makes them outrageously moreish.

5 Shepherds sheep’s milk ice cream

£7.50 (550ml), shepherdsicecream.co.uk Sheep’s milk makes this handmade ice cream lighter than cow’s. We love the intensely fruity sloe gin & damson flavour, as well as the Lebanese coffee with notes of cardamom.
