If that wasn’t enough, the winner will get the chance to tour the Gourmet Garden factory and receive a ‘Cooking with Herbs’ master class with some of Australia’s favourite chefs.

Gourmet Garden offers a totally unique and ultimate solution for cooking with fresh flavours – fresh herbs and spices in a tube that are bursting with just-picked flavour for creating mouth-watering fresh meals in minutes.

The perfect alternative to using dried herbs and spices, the herbs are simply picked, washed, chopped, blended and packed into tubes to maintain all their fresh taste and nutrition.

There are nine individual herb and spice blends available in the core range – Basil, Hot Chilli, Coriander, Chives, Garlic, Ginger, Italian Herbs, Lemon Grass, and Parsley – with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Use them to flavour sauces, soups and dressings, for seasoning meat, seafood and stir fries, and to add a kick to curries, stews, noodle and pasta dishes.

Ideal for busy cooks who don’t want to lose out on flavour, these handy tubes are stored in the fridge and keep their fresh taste for 3 months, and can also be used straight from the freezer.

Priced at RRP £2.19 per tube, Gourmet Garden products are now stored in Tesco nationwide. For more information and to enter the competition, please visit www.gourmetgarden.com or www.facebook.com/Gourmet-Garden-UK.

Brillat Savarin Affine Cheese

by Andrew on September 13, 2011 in food, Specialist Shops with No comments

One of the most popular cheeses in Europe is proving to be strangely illusive to the nation’s cheese lovers. Brillat Savarin Affine is a soft, creamy white cheese that appeals to even the fussiest of pallets, yet its own popularity is becoming the cheeses own nemesis. Some cheese enthusiasts are putting in orders months ahead, just to ensure delivery.

Brillat Savarin Affine is a luxurious cheese named after one of France’s most legendary food writers, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. The lawyer-turned-food-writer had the honour of the MAGNUM cheese taking his moniker in the 1970’s following his rise in popularity as French Gourmet and political figure. The cheese itself, from the Normandy region, is a triple cream Brie that is luscious, creamy and faintly sour, going well with medjool dates and also champagne.

Nick Baines of JustCheese.co.uk, one of the UK’s top online cheese stockists, is proud that their website is one of the few places that Brillat-Savarin is consistently available: “We have established a fantastic relationship with the producers of Brillat-Savarin cheese. It’s true that this cheese’s popularity has caused a real supply and demand issue, so we are just pleased that we are able to be one of the few stockists of this esteemed variety. This really is one of our favourite cheeses!” JustCheese.co.uk carries a wide variety of artisan cheeses and caters online to the UK’s cheese aficionados by supplying cheeseboards featuring a selection of top cheese delights.

There is no definite date in sight when Brillat-Savarin Affine will be available on a wider scale, purely due to demand. Sites like JustCheese.co.uk give cheese lovers an easy and speedy option of getting hold of their favourite cheese.

Just Cheese is offering Brillat Savarin Affine for £7.95 for 150g.

Opera Singer’s Unique Ice-cream

by Andrew on September 8, 2011 in food with No comments

A chance encounter between British boutique ice cream shop Gelateria Danieli owner Bridget Hunt and Gianluca Paganelli who is one of Italy’s most popular new singers has lead to Operatic heart-throb having a bespoke Ice cream flavour named in his honour – and the ice cream has proven so popular with customers that he will be whipping up enthusiasm with special one off performances in the ice cream parlors planned for the autumn.

Bridget and Gianluca met on a flight to Rome and after discovering a shared passion for ice cream the special ‘Dolce Vita’ flavour was born. Gianluca has since become a massive fan of Gelateria Danieli after falling in love with his special new flavour and will make a special appearance at the ice cream maker’s stores to serenade customers will his schedule permits and he is next in the UK.

“Gelateria Danieli is delighted to be collaborating with one of Italy’s biggest stars,” says Gelateria Danieli founder Bridget Hunt. “Gianluca is a real Latino heartthrob and we think his ice-cream and personal apprearances will have our customer’s hearts melting when he visits in the autumn.”

“Since meeting Bridget earlier this year, I’ve had a chance to sample quite a few Gelateria Danieli ice cream flavours and I’m delighted to lend my support when I’m in the UK,” says Gianluca Paganelli. “I can’t wait to perform for customers at Gelateria Danieli stores and it will be great fun giving out samples of the ice cream named in my honour.”
