The Food Lifestyle edit
Each month we reveal our new favourite discoveries – from must-buy artisan products to events and openings.
The April edit
Bring the outdoors indoors, in style, with a limited-edition giclée print of pressed flowers. This is Faded Summer: it features roses, snapdragons, eucalyptus and chrysanthemums. More gorgeous designs available.
These Bristolian bean-to-bar chocolate makers have released 'What Comes First?' – a tin of white choc chicks with a Peruvian mango caramel centre, alongside dark chocolate eggs filled with macadamia praline.
Just released – the very first wines from new Cornish producer Shillingham. As traditional farming grew tougher by the season, siblings Alex, Harry and Flora Ramsden traded sheep for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Snuggly socks in beautiful colours are Oaken’s speciality. Smooth mohair fibres from lovingly raised angora goats are the secret behind the softness, durability and warm yet lightweight nature of these wardrobe essentials.
Get down to Somerset for the first Cider Bus Saturday of the year on April 18 at Burrow Hill. Enjoy a wood-fired slice from Pizza Heaven and drinks from the Cider Bus against a backdrop of blooming apple orchards.
Invest in a luxe leather tote or backpack, handcrafted by environmentally conscious designer Rachel. From her Bath studio, she scores, cuts, sands, stitches and burnishes each piece using traditional leatherworking tools and techniques.
Famous for its organic artisan pasta, made using ancient and heritage wheat, the FFC also creates unimaginably good choc biccies. Using the same flour, they mill it with cacao to produce a luxurious chocolate base. A must-have spring biscuit.
Get creative with seasonal British blooms grown on Brothers Farm Flowers, also home to Trehane Blueberry PYO and Flower Barn Cafe. Sustainable floristry is just one of many workshops it hosts. No experience needed – just a love of flowers.
Dose up on a fiery shot of goodness, blended using organic and homegrown ingredients from Somerset. The original ginger and turmeric shot combines over 17 adaptogenic herbs and spices.
