We love American food – there’s sometimes nothing better than a burger, fries and onion rings – with all the “fixin’s” of course. Pickle, mustard, relish and ketchup. A good American meal should need several napkins (we one ate in a restaurant in New York called Five Napkin Burger!) and leave you with a food-stained […]

We’re impressed, in a B-list kind of way, with the line-up of Celebrity Masterchef 2015. Competing for the 2015 title include Sarah Harding (Girls Aloud), Chesney Hawkes (the one and only), Keith Chegwin (take your pick but we liked Cheggars Plays Pop) and Strictly Come Dancing star Natalie Lowe.

Here’s a question as we enter National Recycling Week. Do you know, as a nation, we throw away an incredible seven million tonnes of food and drink from our homes every year? This costs us £12.5 billion a year and is bad for the environment, and what’s worse is that the majority of the food […]

The great British weather doesn’t always make this possible, but when the sun does shine, there’s nothing better than dusting down the picnic blanket, packing a hamper with lovely food and drink and sharing it with friends. That’s why we are supporting National Picnic Week, which starts on Saturday 13th June.

We love veg here in the development kitchen – there’s sometimes a competition on who can use veg in the most creative way. Lots of what we make here at SK Foods is vegetarian and we think they lose none of the flavour or impact through not having any meat!

Who can resist a doughnut? Like Homer Simpson we certainly can’t!  They’re the perfect cure for a sweet tooth, satisfying that need for sugar and cake all in one – and in Doughnut Week there’s even more excuse for eating one, or three!

The humble sandwich, it’s come a long way. Two slices of bread with any variety of fillings, everyone has their favourite. From the traditional egg and cress, cheese and pickle or tuna mayo to the more “exotic” (we once heard of a person who liked to put a pie between two slices of bread and […]

We all love comfort food, food we’re familiar with. We’ve all got a favourite take-away too, and many of us would love to replicate it at home. In our team in the development kitchen we’re always looking at ways we can take those favourites, that familiarity, that feeling of comfort and give it a twist. […]

Easter is known as the time for sweet treats (and who doesn’t love chocolate and hot cross buns!) and a time for family gatherings – which we all know means lots of food! We don’t really need much of an excuse to start trying out new recipes for family get-togethers, whether they are picnics out […]
