SIP OF THE WEEK
A day to cause a stir

Things we're buying this week
Food Editor Alison Oakervee shares her weekly must-basket items.
No.1 Speciality Strawberries
“These sweet, juicy and aromatic berries are a weekly staple over the summer months, to be eaten on their own with a dollop of Greek-style yogurt or scattered over a pavlova at the weekend.”
Belazu Gran Reserva Sherry Vinegar
“I always have a bottle to hand ready to whisk into olive oil to dress a green salad, drizzle over roast veg or tomato dishes, splash into marinades or just deglaze a pan as the base for a sauce.”
Hip Pop Sparkling Tropical Peach Drink Cans
“For days when I’m looking for a long glass of something cold that isn’t alcohol, this is my go-to thirst quencher. It’s lightly sparkling with live cultures, a hint of peach juice and apple cider vinegar.”
No.1 Odysea Greek Sheep’s Milk Feta PDO
“Crumble this salty, tangy, authentically-made cheese over a watermelon and black olive salad or use it to accompany tomatoes, when its saline flavour will bring out their natural sweetness.”
IN MY BASKET
Gunpowder Spice Blend is Chetna Makan's favourite all-rounder
The food writer, author and YouTuber loves this spice blend for its versatility – try it in her Gunpowder beany rolls recipe.
“Gunpowder is an aromatic, fiery spice blend from the south of India, where every household has their own recipe for it. What I love about gunpowder is the versatility of it, it has texture, a slight heat and so much aroma, which makes it a great all-rounder spice blend. I always have a little pot of this in my kitchen.”
