Grasshopper Soups

When I woke up this morning all I could think about was that song sung by Dean Martin “Let it snow!  Let it snow! Let it snow!” By some miracle the majority of us we made it into the office after struggling through the snow drifts (that’s dedication to  The Amazing Blog for you!) And all we can think and talk about today is food.   Yes, hot scrummy comfort food. But the question is what to transport to work in our handbags that will be warming a delicious? Annoyingly today both our local delis are closed and the super market’s shelves are looking rather bare…

All eyes alighted on the very last pot of  Grasshopper soups. We have already consumed our way through their delicious Herby Tomato & Basil, and the fruity Spicy Lentil & Coconut. There is just one left for us to all draw lots over - the Creamy Mushrooms & Chives.

These soups have proved to be very popular with all of us. They are quick, easy (just add boiling water) and very portable (carry in handbags to work and eat at desks whilst on phone to journalists!)

The winning factor for me is that all the ingredients from Grasshopper (soups AND porridges) are 100% natural. They avoid any use of artificial flavourings, colours or additives. They also have the lowest levels of sugar and salt in comparison to similar types of products. Each of the soups are only around 100 calories – so it allows you to indulge in a little of whatever else you fancy. All pots are £7.50 for a case of 6 and £1.25 for an individual pot and are available online at Grasshopper  or in store at Whole Foods, Fresh & Wild and  selected branches of Waitrose.

Our Secret in the Kitchen

After a long workday, the last thing I want to do is slave in the kitchen with flour, sugar, and dozens of sauces and spices trying to make something delicious for dinner and dessert. Thankfully, I found a company that understands and encourages my lack of enthusiasm for baking and my intense desire for delicious food.

My Secret Kitchen is the UK’s first nationwide food and drink tasting company. It produces baking packages, sauces, and spices that only require one or two more ingredients to make a special meal. It cannot get much simpler than that!

Some of my favourite products include Beer Bread Mixes (£3.79), Artichoke Pesto (£6.49), Mochaccino Cookie Mix (£5.99 – shown above), and Red Wine Finishing Sauce (£5.99). Impressing a friend becomes simple and enjoyable once you acquire your own Secret Kitchen.

Yesterday I made the Beer Bread and Mochacinno cookies for the office and was shocked at how easy it was to make. Today all the girls were so mad I brought in something so delicious to snack on! They’re almost gone now!

One of the best parts about My Secret Kitchen is that you don’t need to guess what you want in the store or online, you can taste it! You can find a consultant in your area or even host your own party to spread the good news that is bringing cooking into the twenty-first century. The delectable goodies are just a phone call away.
