My
favourite places for
food. |
|
| Shillingford
Organics |

Martin
Bragg has a lovely box
scheme. He allows you to
give your likes and
dislikes (next year
cauliflowers are coming
off our list – I
loathe the buggers) and
we get salad even in
winter. Also lots of
mystery veg – I love
the winter radish – if
only so I can show off
with it. |

Meat |

I
think local is always
the way forward.
Anything that stops a
supermarket squeezing
the life out of farming
is good. Organic is a
bonus but not a
necessity. The meat
boxes from here are
really cool. You can
order when you want and
get a mixed box of meat,
makes you think about
what to cook, and they
often include something
to experiment with or
try out. |

Du Chocolat |

Quickest
way into my very good
books. Not much I
wouldn’t do for these.
A bag of salted caramels
and I am anybody’s.
They are often at
Borough Market and have
a shop in London as well
as good online…some
Waitrose also now stock.
We had these at our
wedding. |

Their
bread and some butter is
one of life’s
pleasures. Buy some
either in London or some
Waitrose’s. |
| Dorset
Cereals |
www.dorsetcereals.co.uk |
A
couple of years ago,
this company was a dull
kind of health food shop
cereal maker. Then they
got cool. Again, they
are regional and I know
a bit expensive but the
cereals are great. I eat
some every day! |
| Valvona
and Crolla |
www.valvonacrolla.co.uk |
THE
best Italian. Fancy but
reliable. If you visit
Edinburgh, go to the
original shop near John
Lewis. |
