New Look for Sharpham Park Spelt

Sharpham Park has introduced a new range of striking packaging for the summer and it is exclusively available to pick up from Harvey Nichols Foodmarkets nationwide. What's great about these delicious offerings is that each recipe is totally organic, free from artificial sweeteners, naturally very low in salt content, no added sugars, high in fibre and free from artificial preservatives. Who could ask for more?

The new range includes:
Wholegrain Spelt Flour (£3.50) - Stoneground to retain all the natural oils and the total bran content, this wholegrain flour makes delicious bread and can also be used in scones, biscuits, pastry and batter mixes.

Refined Spelt Flour (£3.95) - Like the wholegrain, the refined flour is also stoneground but put through a finer sieve to remove a large percentage of the bran. It makes a delicious, creamy white loaf but may also be used for cakes and biscuits.

Estate Mix Muesli (£5.50) - This original muesli is handmade in small quantities using a blend of dried fruits, whole almonds and hazel nuts and seeds, mixed together with Sharpham Park spelt flakes.

Summer Muesli (£6.50) - A real taste of summer, this muesli has a natural sweetness derived from the full flavours of the cranberries, strawberries, cherries and blueberries, which are blended together with Sharpham Park spelt flakes, puffed rice and a smattering of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

Autumn Muesli (£6.50) - A rich harvest of autumn fruits, seeds and nuts, including walnuts and roasted hazel nuts, gently blended with Sharpham Park spelt flakes and puffs, make this a scrumptious addition to any breakfast table.

Honey Puff Spelt (£4.95) - Delicious pure spelt puffs, nothing added and nothing taken away. Eat them on their own, or with ice cold milk splashed over them for a satisfying breakfast, and as an added bonus, with a low Glycaemic Index, so will keep you going throughout the day

Pearled Spelt £3.95 - A delicious accompaniment to all meat and fish dishes, and as a substitute for rice, lentils or cous-cous. Commonly used in many Italian recipes (where it is known as farro).

A range of in-store tastings will be taking place in your nearest Foodmarket this month. Ask in-store for further information.

1tsp lavender sugar
35ml Havana Anejo Blanco rum
25ml Koko Kanu rum
15ml fresh lime juice

Method:
Roughly chop the lemongrass and then muddle in the base of the Boston shaker. Add the remaining ingredients. Shake over ice and strain with a bar strainer into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a slice of lemongrass or an edible flower.

The guide also features the latest food, wine and spirit suggestions from Harvey Nichols Foodmarket and Wine Shop buying teams, and easy to follow recipes of nibbles to accompany your drinks, from Wild Mushroom Risotto Balls to Smoked Paprika Roasted Almonds.

Fireflys Water

On Monday 24 March (Easter Monday), Harvey Nichols will launch a new range of anti-oxidant infused waters by Firefly Tonics, to retail exclusively in Foodmarkets nationwide. The waters, which have been created using pure spring water infused with healthy natural ingredients, are light, refreshing, low in calories and rich in anti-oxidants. 

Created using an innovative way to add natural sweetness, each water variety is infused with Organic Agave Nectar, pressed from the Mexican blue Agave cactus (also used in the finest Tequilas) which acts as a low-GI natural sweetener.  All three drinks are 100% natural, with no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, colours, stabilisers or preservatives . Additionally, each Firefly water has approximately one third of the calories found in typical juices and soft drinks (all have less than 15 calories per 100ml). 

The new range, priced at £1.50 (per 500ml), includes:

. Green tea & Mint - this is deliciously light and refreshing and contains the equivalent of 1½ cups of green tea.

. Redbush & Acerola - combines the equivalent of four cups of South African Redbush (Rooibos) tea, known for its high polyphenol content, along with a dash of Acerola cherry, known for its ultra-high Vitamin C concentrate.

. Yerba Maté, Lime & Lemongrass - contains South American Yerba Maté, known for its anti-oxidant and mood-lifting properties, along with a cup of black tea (for extra polyphenols), a squeeze of lime and a touch of lemongrass - a heavenly combination.
