Glacé fruit is also known as candied, glazed or crystallised fruit. It has a place in history and gives us a feeling of nostalgia, reminding us of a time when preserving food naturally was a necessity. Glacé fruit can
also be used in sweet yeasted bread such as Stollen, or in Pannetone, a large, domed loaf traditionally eaten at Christmas and Easter. Panforte, mince pies and Florentines all use candied fruit. You can add
glacé fruit to biscuits and muffins, or use it to garnish a wide range of cakes and desserts. A modern and delicious way to enjoy glacé fruit is on a cheese, fruit and nut platter. Shop our range in our grocery department!

Charles Heidsieck is the smallest of the Grandes Marques Champagne houses. Based in the Reims region of Champagne founded in 1851 by the french Champagne maker Charles Camille Heidsieck, who became known as Champagne Charlie. He was focused on selecting, blending and ageing wines to produce high quality champagnes, buying grapes from individual growers. In 1867 he purchased several old chalk quarries, called crayères which dated from the Gallo-Roman era, in order to create optimal conditions for wine maturation. Their cellars are now listed on the UNESCO World Hertiage List. Our Wine Loft has stock of Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV and Charles Heidsieck Reserve Rosé NV - both are very popular!

Étienne Calsac is one of the most exciting young producers in the Côte des Blancs making pure, expressive champagne. His incisive and pure Chardonnay-based champagnes are an exceptional interpretation of the terroir surrounding Avize. Being a low dosage wine, there is a great purity to the fruit, which is 100% organically farmed Chardonnay. This puts the winemaking in the spotlight showing the hard work that goes into making this highly drinkable. Acidity is the hero, carrying that Avize chalk, partnered with crunchy green apple and lemon zest. There is no need to think too hard about this - relax in the sun with a few bottles. Santé!

Arriving direct from Exmouth, WA The meat of bugs, found only in the tail, has a medium-to-strong flavour. They can be bought as frozen meat or whole, to be eaten on their own as an entrée, or as part of a main dish. They are best prepared by poaching, steaming, barbecuing or grilling. As bugs provide good presentation and marry well with other seafood, they are excellent for cold seafood platters—served with a light lemon mayonnaise, aioli ordill vinaigrette.When cut down the centre lengthways, bugs will grill and barbecue beautifully over a high heat. They are superb served on their own, with the above-mentioned dressings or pesto, or as a warm salad with fresh asparagus and parmesan. To prevent discolouration of the flesh, sprinkle with a little lemon or lime. The flesh of the bug is an ideal, flavoursome filling for meats, such as an alternative in carpetbag steak or with veal, asparagus and hollandaise (the “veal oscar”). Bug meat is also an appetising additive to fish cakes—served with sweet chilli coriander. Bugs are also good option for risotto, where the shells are first cooked into a biscue and used as an alternateto stock.
