Gourmet
food for busy people. Look What We Found is a delicious hearty
range of ‘almost-ready’ dishes; bringing together
the finest ingredients from small scale specialist producers,
inspired chefs and the best available technology. The meals are
prepared and individually packed in pouches before being heat-sealed
and cooked in what can best be described as a pressure cooker.
This seals in all the flavour and goodness and gives the pouches
their long shelf lives without requiring refrigeration. This type
of product is much more widely available on the continent where
they are seen as a terrific alternative to a low quality tinned
or dried product. Once you’ve tried them you’ll be
converted! Fantastic for busy people who don’t like to compromise
on taste, as well as for keen campers or caravanners who are looking
for a tasty quick meal after setting up that doesn’t involve
beans or can openers |
| Robin
Hirst's Home Reared Beef in Black Velvet Porter with Maris Piper
Potatoes 320g |
£3.00 |
|
| Beef
and beer are wonderful culinary bedfellows in this proudly patriotic
dish. Robin Hirst's great British beef is melt in the mouth tender
and redolent of summers spent grazing on his traditional parkland.
Robin's family has spent generations farming a traditional English
estate in the Tees Valley. His home reared cattle are kept on grassy
parkland where they roam and graze throughout the summer. This great
British beef is perfectly partnered by The Durham Brewery's Black
Velvet Porter, a blend of traditional English hops and six malts,
which adds smooth, dark richness to the gravy. |
| Richard
Hyman's Mushroom Stroganoff with hand picked Scottish mushrooms
and Nanjing black rice 250g |
£3.00 |
|
| There's
nothing pale and uninteresting about this dish! Wonderfully tasty
hand picked highland mushrooms are combined with Nanjing black rice.
Veggie food with the wow factor! Richard Hyman enlists the help
of the locals to scour the foothills of the Scottish Highlands and
bring us the delicate flower-like Chanterelle and earthy flavoured
Cep mushrooms that form the basis of this truly delicious dish.
Nanjing black rice, with its assertive, slightly smoky flavour,
adds a touch of drama; turning the dish a delightful, pinky purple
colour. |
| Swallow's
of Seahouses's Smoked Haddock Pottage with Nadine Potatoes and Saffron
250g |
£3.00 |
|
| A
luxuriously rich and creamy mellow yellow pottage with generous
chunks of wonderfully flavoursome smoked haddock, together with
pollack and Nadine potatoes. Saffron is responsible for the delicate
slightly spicy flavour, complementing the smokiness of the haddock
and adding it’s glorious sunshine colour. We'd all eat more
fish if it was sure to be as fragrantly delicious as this! Swallows
of Seahouses have been catching, smoking and selling fish for decades.
Their smokehouse has been in existence since 1858 and their reputation
in the region is second to none. |
| Richard
Woodall’s Country Cured Ham in Delicious Pea Soup 350g |
£1.60 |
|
| Colin
Woodall’s family were deeply committed to heritage food long
before it was fashionable to be so. He is the eighth generation
of his family to produce acclaimed traditionally cured hams, bacon
and sausages in the sleepy Lakeland village of Waberthwaite. The
country cured gammon Richard provides for the deliciously hearty
pea and ham soup is moist and mild in flavour; and a world away
from mass produced brine injected products. |
| Alyson Taylor’s Gloucester Old Spot Pork Meatballs with Butter Beans in a Rich Tomato Sauce 300 g |
£3.00 |
|
| Once called "Orchard Pigs" because they were partially reared on windfall apples, Gloucester Old Spots are amongst our best remaining heritage pig breeds and you really can taste the free ranging outdoorsy difference in the meat. This superior quality pork is partnered by smooth on the tongue, creamy tasting butter beans and a rich piquant tomato sauce. A blissfully sustaining recipe. Gloucester Old Spots are one of the heritage pig breeds that have remained unspoilt by our modern mass production focused pig industry. Alyson's family have farmed pigs for generations and have special expertise in the old breeds. Her pigs are reared free range and out of doors. Just the conditions the venerable Old Spots love. |
| Alan Taylor’s North Shield’s Crab in Cream of Asparagus Soup 250g |
£2.00 |
|
| The superb creamy, sweet crab meat Alan Taylor supplies is caught by local fisherman who fish off the Northumbrian coast. All the work of preparing the crab meat is done by hand, the traditional way, by expert staff who start the work within three to four hours of it being landed. The subtle taste of tender, nutrient rich asparagus is a perfect partner in this dreamily delicious soup. Delicious served hot or chilled. |
| Tweedside Honey in English Parsnip Soup 350g |
£1.60 |
|
| Frances Robson’s hardy Northern European bees produce sublime honey. We have chosen her Chain Bridge Honey Farm Tweedside Heather and Flower Mix with just a hint of heather from the flowers on the high ground of North Northumberland, and from spring and early summer flowers. We add this lovely honey, along with sea salt, black pepper and a splash of cream to bring out the distinctive, strong sweet taste of this most characterful of root vegetables. You are in for a treat!. |
| Tomato, Ginger and Chilli Sauce made with a Trio of English Tomatoes 200g |
£1.70 |
|
| David’s gloriously plump and juicy tomatoes are grown in an extraordinarily inventive horticultural scheme, which utilises steam and CO2 by products that would have been released into the atmosphere. Home grown on the vine, the mix of Aranca, Midi Plum and Elegance tomatoes have their tendrils hand twisted and are able to ripen for longer yielding a fulsome taste. Combined with a hint of ginger and red chilli, a splash of Spanish lemon juice and some coriander. This is a great sauce for pouring over grilled fish, pan fried chicken, oven baked mushrooms and barbequed pork chops. Or why not try it with fresh ravioli?. |
