We love technology here in the SK kitchen; so we were intrigued to read this week about a new app that has been launched which may put an end to the saying ‘there’s nothing to eat in this house”. PixFood does exactly what it says on the tin, if you pardon the pun. Using the […]

The organisers of National Picnic Month must be rubbing their hands with glee given the amazing weather that has coincided with this month’s event. According to the experts, the average person picnics at least three times a year in the UK, but we are assuming this figure is based on the normally poor British summers. […]

Gin. It’s everywhere now, isn’t it? You can’t move down a high street without falling over at least one specialist gin bar and even the most modest of hostelries seems to be offering about a third of their bar space to the spirit. Last year, just in the UK, we bought 47 million bottles. Sales […]

No doubt, even though Christmas is a still a few days away, many of you will have already sat down to eat a Christmas lunch. Whether it was a work’s party or just a trip to the pub, you may already be sick of the sight of turkey, roast potatoes and brussel sprouts, although if […]

When I discovered that Monday (13th November) was the start of National School Meals Week it made me chuckle. The thought of having such a week when I was at school, which granted was a while ago, would have had everyone in hysterics. When I was a kid, school meals were not something to look […]

There are some food awareness days/weeks we particularly look forward to and National Curry Week is certainly one of them. It’s not just because Asian food is one of our specialities here in the SK kitchen, although that obviously makes events like this even more interesting (we don’t get as excited for World Porridge Day for example!).

“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” When an author of Henry James’ stature says that, it would be foolish to disagree, so when we discovered the date of this year’s annual afternoon tea, we couldn’t wait to start cooking. But before you […]

It’s World Chocolate Day, and while here at SK Foods we make a whole host of delicious savoury snacks, we just can’t resist a sweet treat! Chocolate is the ultimate comfort food and the first thing we reach for when we’re stressed, when life has taken a turn for the worse and or need cheering […]
