Perfect Pastries – Homemade and Unbelievably Good


Have you ever tried to bake your own pastries? It’s a lot of work and the recipes of the many different types of pastries are quite difficult for anyone who is not a professional.
So there I was, struggling between the time-intensive option of making them myself and the unsatisfying taste of supermarket pastries. Until now. I found a third option to get fresh, delicious pastries without working in your kitchen the whole Sunday.

Golden Suffolk Cider – Delicious like Sunshine in a Bottle


Before I came to England I knew that the British loved their cider. Because I only tasted minor ciders until then I couldn’t really appreciate why this drink was so famous in the UK.
Now that I’ve tasted real artisan cider made locally in Essex and Suffolk I changed my mind regarding cider completely.

Lane Farm’s Smoked Ham – Taking Sandwich to the Next Level


Regarding my travels and my experience in pork and especially ham I thought I had tasted the best. But now a little farm right in my neighbourhood changed my mind about that.

Upsons Farm's Fresh Apple Juice – Getting You Back To Life


Do you have your own recipe against fatigue and dizziness? What do you do when you feel weary or exhausted?
Most people would go for a nap and feel even worse afterwards. Other would grab a coffee and enjoy an hour or two of being vigil again only to be even more tired after the effect has worn out. 
Testing products of local farmers in Essex and Suffolk I stumbled over a better alternative.

Caprilatte Ice Cream from Butterfly Lodge – It’s All About the Milk

Have you ever tasted real, handmade artisan ice cream while on holiday in Italy? If you have you know how hard it is to get something similar in the UK. Even ice cream parlours can often not achieve the levels of quality and taste.

In the county of Essex there is a way to get what you desire. Since 2004 Warren and Ellie Goff produce their own farm produced luxury dairy goat milk ice cream at Butterfly Lodge.

The British Tomato – Making Your Pasta Unbelievably Delicious


Bolognese or Arrabbiata sauce made with fresh, juicy tomatoes. The best choice for your pasta isn’t it? For me it definitely is! And just when I thought my personal recipe couldn’t get any better I discovered the ultimate delicious tomato, right here in Essex!
