Albarino

SIP OF THE WEEK 

Why Albarino is the wine to know right now

This crisp Spanish white from Rías Baixas is tipped to be the wine everyone will be bringing to the table in 2026. It's zesty, citrussy and brilliant with fish.

Boundless High Fibre Chips

Boundless High Fibre Chips   

“I’ve got such a weak spot when it comes to crisps, so I really like the sound of these that have just launched at Waitrose. But which to enjoy first – Smoky Bacon or Chipotle & Lime flavour?”

Cornish Sea Salt Co. Smoked Sea Salt Flakes

Cornish Sea Salt Co. Smoked Sea Salt Flakes

“Always beside my hob, ready to sprinkle over dishes as I cook. Great over tomatoes, raw or cooked, as it gives a really savoury flavour, plus it adds a barbecue smoky note to mash.”

No.1 Free Range Pork Ribeye Steaks with Miso Butter

No.1 Free Range Pork Ribeye Steaks with Miso Butter 

“All Waitrose fresh pork is free range and from known and trusted farms, which is really important to me. These ribeye steaks topped with miso butter make the perfect meal when time is short. I’ll enjoy them with rice, stir fried veg and a splash of soy.”

Odysea Greek Spring Blossom Raw Honey

Odysea Greek Spring Blossom Raw Honey 

“This honey is a treat. Made in small batches and harvested between March and early June – spring flowers give it a gorgeous floral flavour. It’s delicious slathered on toast or stirred through porridge.”

A simple way to cook No.1 Sweet Cured Mackerel

MasterChef’s Ping Coombes shares her favourite go-to product and what to make with it this week. “Canned fish is an essential standby ingredient in my kitchen. When I first moved to the UK from Malaysia 25 years ago, I struggled with not having noodles and rice for breakfast. My boyfriend then (now my husband), upon seeing my struggles, made me a kedgeree and that became one of my go-to breakfast items. I needed to make a speedier version, so this was born out of my pantry, freezer and desperation!”
