"I'm stuck. I'm in dire need of some stuff. If I place the order now, how quickly can you deliver?" I reckon we're asked this at least 10 times a day. If this sounds like you and you're up against it, here's what you need to know. Our most popular delivery class is our Standard Uk Courier option, available to the vast majority of our customers at the checkout. We just need your order by 2pm … [Read more...]
Eco-friendly sauce pot?
I'll be honest, I couldn't hide my glee when these samples arrived in the post. What are they? Biodegradable Bagasse Deli pots and matching lids. (Honestly, it doesn't take much to make me happy these days) We're giving these pots some serious thought, as it ticks more than 1 box and we've been after something like this for ages. Manufactured from environmentally friendly Bagasse - in laymans … [Read more...]
It’s in the bag
My hard work in the garden this year is starting to pay off. One of my (sort of) success stories are these potatoes. I grew them in potato bags - at one point they were in danger of blocking my way out of the house every day. Finally, the foliage started to die back, so I took the plunge and had a rummage in the bag. So to speak. Happy days, something had grown! Back in the day, before we … [Read more...]
Supplier packaging
"Why don't you use Biodegradable Packaging and bubble wrap when you send your orders out?" We're getting there. Good to see the suppliers are following suit as well - I spotted this little sticker on one of our suppliers boxes last week. This is how our lovely Reusable Plastic Glasses and Unbreakable Plastic Glasses arrive with us, and that's a big thumbs up in our world. Biodegradable … [Read more...]
Handy plastic recycling link
Hands up if you're confused about what and where you can recycle stuff. We are being continually asked about how, what and where plastic packaging can be disposed of. There isn't currently a definitive "go to" central information point, which is pretty much what the country is currently crying out for. Here are a few pointers and helpful links. Firstly, you need to establish what it is you are … [Read more...]
Match winning wine glasses
I was fortunate enough to bag a ticket to Wimbledon this year, and with the weather set fair, it was time to take full advantage of the allowance of a bottle of wine per person. (I'm never going to pass this up) We armed ourselves with a Polycarbonate Wine Glass each and headed for Henman Hill to watch a little tennis on the big screen. Being an outdoor event, we had to use something … [Read more...]
Movin on up
I've been stressing for a week or so, watching the poor plants recover from their cramped conditions (cruelty to a salad leaf, I know) Despite my gung ho approach, it's all doing alright. How on earth, I don't know. With a little assistance from some Looped Skewers, everything is headed in an upwardly fashion. The stuff on the right will need moving, but rather than introduce more shock to … [Read more...]
You can’t beat a classic
Some things in life will always be cool - Walkmans, Hi-tops, cars you wanted when you were 12, and when it comes to food - a well constructed Prawn Cocktail. It's a simple starter that can be made ahead of time, and as long as you get the pink sauce right, it tastes great. This dish dates back to the 1960's when Fanny Cradock first made it on the telly, simultaneously belittling her husband (look … [Read more...]
Do you sell biodegradable glasses…?
Technically... yes. But you might want to think before going for glasses that on the outside look like the most Eco-friendly option for your needs. I read a report recently on the number of local councils that simply don't have the specialist recycling / industrial composters required to correctly dispose of this new range of food packaging and glassware, and it doesn't make pretty reading. Back … [Read more...]
They live, and I learned…
A month into my "seeds in our biodegradable packaging" experiment, I am delighted to say that I've created edible life. It actually works! 3 weeks in, and here is the evidence. I'm mildly shocked that anything has grown at all and also surprised at just how well our Biodegradable Coffee Cups and Gourmet Food Trays have done. Neither show any signs of breaking down too much (yet) although I've only … [Read more...]
