A Trio of Dips
Perfect for sharing, dipping or spreading, the A Little Bit trio consists of a Peamole, a Spicy Salsa and Onion and Chive dip. The Peamole offers an alternative to the eminent Guacamole; the key ingredient peas used as a replacement for avocados. The Spicy Tomato Salsa continues to encompass the brands efforts to champion quality ingredients, with the addition of fresh parsley and coriander, and the Onion and Chive dip, made using fresh chives; it is light, creamy and satisfying but without all the nasties.

Wooden Spoon Autumn Orange
With Summer an almost distant memory and Winter fast drawing in, the team at The Wooden Spoon are often in need of a warmup to take the chill off and a cosy up in front of the fire. We don’t share a blanket anymore due to social distancing but we still love a steaming cup of the Wooden Spoon winter warmer.
All you need is some hot water, a bag of English breakfast tea and the Stud Orange & Brandy from our amazing Weck jar range of bottled fruits. Just slice the orange and add it into your mug, along with a healthy slug of the brandy and a few cloves. Then add the teabag and pour in the hot water. When that’s done, just leave it to infuse for a few minutes then enjoy the taste of Autumn in a mug.
