Perk Up Your PM

Pret's luxury cookies.

Globe's Big Green Egg

Big Green Eggs are the (expensive) way to slow cook and bbq with a difference - a boy's toy I am thinking of acquiring.  The Globe Theatre has some great catering by the Swan Collection and the outside food offer is original, warming and capable of fast service.

Easy Home Bake

Have you noticed the range of Brownie and Cookie dough products in your supermarket?  If my kids can bake them when getting home from school, perhaps more cafe owners should be using their bake-off ovens a little more.

Pots of Quality

Quality yoghurt in glass containers at the National Portrait Gallery cafe run by Searcys.  Compare and contrast with the long-life stuff in plastic pots below seen at a tourist attraction where the catering is run in-house.  Do we really think customers don't know the difference?

Coffee & Cake

Coffee Recycling

Notcutts garden centres tell the story of their coffee grounds being mixed with sheep wool and then sold as a fertiliser.  See more at Greencup Coffee.

Alfajor from Argentina

Delicious cookies from Argentina - filled with dulce de leche milk caramel spread and coated with meringue or chocolate.  Havanna is apparently the leading brand.

Waiting to see who brings them into the UK or makes something similar.  Let me know.
