Food ProductsOriginally based on the diet of the people of the Greek island of Crete, and later expanded to include most countries around the Mediterranean basin, Mediterranean Diet is a delicious and healthy way to eat, based on typical foods and recipes of Mediterranean-style cooking.
Mediterranean Diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating, with the addition of replacing butter with flavorful olive oil, eating primarily plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, limiting red meat to no more than a few times a month, eating fish and poultry at least twice a week, frequently eating whole grains, legumes and nuts, using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor foods, and even drinking red wine in moderation. Research has shown that the traditional Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of heart disease as well as the incidence of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. The Mediterranean diet is one your whole family can follow for good health. The diet also recognizes the importance of being physically active, and enjoying meals with good company.

Every baker should have the US-made trusty OXO Good Grips 7-piece measuring spoon set by their side. With spoons from 1/8 tsp to 1 tbsp, you’ll never have to guess at measurements again. Each spoon has a soft, non-slip grip and flat bases that sit level on your kitchen surface without tipping. They clip together and fan out for easy selection and come with a hook, so you can hang them within easy reach. The other end of the hook acts as a scraper, for perfectly level measures. Dishwasher safe.  £11.95 by Sous Chef
