A great British Summer means a great family BBQ - whatever
the weather.
The day starts at the local butcher who'll have a wonderful range
of goodies to choose from - thick juicy burgers; old English bangers just
bursting with flavour; free range chicken thighs (best pre-cooked indoors and
finished on the coals); and perhaps a few slices of tender rump steak ...
delicious. Whether you cook on coals or gas, the preparation, salads, chatter
and chilled prosecco all add to the occasion.
But soft, what sauce from yonder shapely bottle shines, it
is the Curry Ketchup and Stokes is the sun.
Just add Stokes Sauces and believe in our promise of - FOOD

Stokes Sauces are essentially the product of Rick
Sheepshanks and his dedicated team who love good honest food, made better with
good honest relishes, sauces, marmalades and mayonnaise. Ingredients is King
and the uncompromising recipe creation is Queen.
Well this King, Queen,
courtiers, and livestock create their secret components of culinary joy at
Rendlesham Hall in Suffolk. The peace and quiet of the countryside is broken
only by the eureka moment of another taste-busting idea from the team, or the
bleat, moo, grunt of the family babies and their parents:
Look after
the pennies
Last
month we gave you some suggestions for getting the labels off Stokes jars -
why, because when you have enjoyed their contents and ordered some more, the
empty jars offer stylish opportunities to 'get creative'. Here are some ideas:
So, get creative. get the kids to paint your empty jars this
summer, take a picture and e-mail them to me HERE , and we'll send a
money box lid to the best five each week across the Summer until 5th September.
What does
the original Margherita Pizza and Stokes have in common?
It is popular opinion in
Italy that in 1889, during a visit of Queen Margherita of Savoy to Naples, chef Raffaele Esposito of Pizzeria Brandi created a pizza resembling the colours of the
newly unified Italian flag, red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil).
The tomatoes were grown on the hillsides between Naples and Pompeii and were
chosen by Raffaele for their deep red colour and intense sweet juicy flavour.
Such plump tomatoes still ripen in the sunshine that drenches the hillsides of southern Italy and it is these we use in Stokes TomatoKetchup. Unlike most ketchups, we don't mill our tomatoes, but gently
simmer them down to a smooth texture that keeps all of their rich natural
Italian flavours...
Simple, honest, delicious
