It’s been said that it’s better to give than to receive, but we have some serious reservations about this statement – especially when the gift involves an abundance of top-notch food and drink! But either way it’s certainly a lot of fun putting together your very own Whitmore & White Hamper!

Pate has been a Christmas favourite since I can remember, or any special occasion come to think of it. I vote it’s time to change this convention and make it a staple for any day you fancy giving your palette a treat. Lavishly spreading this comfort-inducing cuisine onto crusty bread brings feelings of opulence that surely we deserve all year round.

Every time I head to Google to ask what the latest food craze is, it always hits me with kimchi facts. It seems that the popularity of this Korean dish is growing day by day.

You can make kimchi yourself, in fact so many people started fermenting their veg last year that it created a shortage in canning jar lids due to the massive increase in demand. But getting that mix of spices right to achieve kimchi’s distinctively punchy flavour isn’t easy.  It’s simpler to buy it – plus you experience the authentic taste too.

If we were to ask you to name two things that were meant to be together, how would you answer. Maybe you’d say tea and biscuits, bacon and eggs, Ant and Dec?

In the 19th and early 20th centuries England had a moderately thriving truffle industry. 

All too often we spend ages deliberating over what to have from that Just Eat or Deliveroo menu and give next to no consideration to what wine might go with it, opening up whatever's in the fridge or wine rack because "it'll do Marjorie, it's just a takeaway". With more of us staying in-in rather than going out-out this year, we think we can do better than "it'll do"! So we're here to arm you with some suggestions

Port and cheese is just so quintessentially British isn't it? And it's never more so than at Christmas time when sales of both sky-rocket! Putting the festive tradition aside for a minute, with the style ranging from white Port, through aged Tawny styles and onto single vineyard and vintage Ports, there's no reason why Port shouldn't be consumed at any time of year! And with the wealth
