It’s a good job Emma Bell has Sky+ with a lot of memory, because she needs it for all the food-related shows she records. From Great British Menu to Masterchef, her planner is always crammed full and that’s not just because she enjoys watching cooking shows. The main reason is that in her role as […]

Cherries are causing quite a stir on the internet. No one can deny cherries are tasty, sweet and good for you, but if you’re going to cook with them you have to face the issue of getting the pit (or stone) out as cleanly as possible. 

It’s World Chocolate Day, and while here at SK Foods we make a whole host of delicious savoury snacks, we just can’t resist a sweet treat! Chocolate is the ultimate comfort food and the first thing we reach for when we’re stressed, when life has taken a turn for the worse and or need cheering […]

Wimbledon starts on Monday. That means, for many, it’s time to pretend they enjoy watching two people (or four if it’s doubles) hitting a ball repeatedly at each other for hours.

We’re all used to fish and chip Friday but it’s even better that today is also National Fish and Chip Day. Believe it or not, as a nation we spend £1.2bn on the battered good stuff every year, eating our way through an amazing 382 million portions! We were intrigued by a recent survey which […]

When we were doing our research for this blog on British Tomato Week 2017, we were surprised to discover that four out of five tomatoes now eaten in the UK are imported. We understand, obviously, that the Great British Weather, contributes to this, but it’s little wonder that people say tomatoes don’t taste like they […]
