Food and drink news: February 2013

 
This month our news includes a great little coffee machine – and some ground coffee to put in it. A new filtering water bottle, a fabulous condiment range, and a brand new porridge flavour to help you start your day.

Heavenly bread

With the demise of the greengrocer, the butcher and the baker from local shops it is more difficult than ever for some to buy provisions that are wholesome and fresh. Luckily for anyone near to Yatton in Somerset they can get along to Pullins Bakers in the High Street or their two shops in Clevedon for a fabulous choice of bread ranging from a standard white, granary and wholemeal loaves, to a fabulous artisan bread range which includes Sourdough, Rye Sourdough, Pure Spelt, Stromboli and Pain de Campagne - it’s a bread lovers heaven!

The good news for anyone not local is that you can order their bread, cakes and biscuits online and have them delivered straight to your door making it easier for you to have traditionally made bread wherever you are in the UK.

Pullins bread can be ordered online at www.pullinsbakers.co.uk
