We Love Mummy

Start the celebrations early, perhaps with breakfast in bed.

“Crumbs!” Mum will say with a smile, stretch and yawn … “how lovely.”Wonderfully fruity Stokes EXTRA Jams – extra-special for your special mum.

Then after the croissants, toast and crumpets, Dad will say “Crumbs!!!” when he sees the state of the bed.Wait ’till she’s downstairs for Dippy Egg Surprise.

Spread the toast with sliced red onion and Stokes Chilli Jam before lining the soldiers up in a neat row – she’ll love it – so different, so tasty.Grilled Goat’s Cheese & Fig

Here’s a simple something to tickle the special taste buds. Toast a slice or two of ciabatta bread, spread our Fig Relish on it, topped with creamy goats cheese before grilling.

Lunchtime!Chilli Beans

NEW RECIPE. This is a brand new recipe for the poshest baked beans ever and the best family lunch. Try it – HERE.

The sweet, slight tartness of this relish is brimming with dried figs (60%) and made with cider vinegar and molasses – pairing beautifully with the grilled cheese.Another sensational morning dish is Shakshuka from North Africa / Middle East. Gently spiced sliced onions, garlic, peppers and tomatoes simmering with eggs poaching in the rich sauce.

Chef, Andy has a lovely version of this Persian beauty, which turns it into a Bloody Mary influenced baked eggs dish – deliciously – HERE.

Later that day…

After a family walk, perhaps a trip to the pub, or Farm Shop, evening approaches and your supper theme draws nigh…

Keep it simple

Steak & Caesar Salad

A quick, slightly clever combination. Basically brush a couple of steaks with Stokes Original BBQ Sauce. This will give it a sweet, smoky finish. Cook them, rest them and slice them.

For the salad, wash and arrange Romaine lettuce leaves with a combination (pre-mixed in a bowl) of Parmasan, croutons, anchovies and Stokes creamy Caesar Dressing spread on top.

You can eat this in front of a film using the lettuce as a Caesar Boat, topped with a slice or three of sweet, smoky steak.

What a day. What a night!!!… and for something sweet to finish –Truly Jammy Brownies

Here’s a recipe worth the effort to create these brownies – soft in the centre with a crispy chocolate coat – HERE.

So thick and full of natural flavour, our award-winning ketchup is packed with plump, sweet tomatoes that have ripened beneath the Mediterranean sunshine where a longer growing season maintains the continuity of quality and taste.We gently simmer a massive 200g of these beautiful tomatoes, reduced into every 100g of glorious ketchup.

That’s why our Award-Winning Tomato Ketchup is sumptuously thick as you shake it or squeeze it and tastes intensely of naturally delicious tomatoes.We are so proud of our Real Mayonnaise, it really is very special.

We use only whole eggs from British free-range Welfare Assured hens, into which very fine rapeseed oil is drizzled to create the product’s core.

Then, to make this real mayonnaise stand out from the rest, we drizzle Mediterranean extra virgin olive oil to finish it too.

There has to be salt in any mayo, but because we use only the finest, natural sea salt from the Dead Sea, we get all the flavour using far less.Each time someone new discovers our exceptional Brown Sauce, they smile like never before.

Ours is a truly ‘grownup’ brown sauce. You can smell the exquisite difference the moment you twist off or flip open the lid and squeeze.

It is a lush sauce, rich with extra date purée, sweet with black treacle and heady with a unique blend of Persian spices.Our Classic Trio soon added a PLUS One – Original BBQ Sauce.

“Everything a BBQ sauce should be.”

It is sweet, thick and smoky. Perfect to use as an accompaniment, marinade or a dipping sauce.

The Great Taste Award judges commented “A lighter-style barbecue sauce. Sweetness and smokiness are well-judged, and it has a rich, inviting colour. It lingers well on the palate…
