Back to School

New term, new year, new school perhaps. But, the same hungry tums to feed when they get home. Whether they are at the ‘grunt, nuffink, don’t care’ stage in life or the excited, whirlwind of unbridled enthusiasm age – they need feeding.

Involvement & Interaction

 

Not everybody can do this or even wants to do this but, even if just once a week, you involve the little angels / horrors (delete as appropriate) interactively creating their own after school snacks or meals … you’ll find out more about their day, and them about their food – together.From this – chop, smash, stir, taste, sort, arrange. To this – delicious, healthy interactive, conversational after school tea:Choose a naturally flavoured Stokes Sauce to finish off the feast and test their young taste buds. This Sweet & Sticky BBQ Sauce is smooth, with a subtle push of horseradish rounding off sweet maple syrup.

Compare it with our other saucesHERE.Cauliflower Wings.

Fun to make, breaking up a fresh cauliflower down to its florets. Dust them in flour, dunk in egg & milk, then coat in breadcrumbs before oven or air fryer baking (full recipe HERE). Fun, healthy, interactive.Home Chippy.

Challenge their innovation on a Friday after school. Get them to set up the Home Chippy. Air fried chips and battered cod goujons served with peas or beans, a squeeze of lemon and sauce of choice, wrapped in brown paper to go.

What sauce? Our Tartare ‘without the tart’ Sauce; Real Mayonnaise (with whole British free-range eggs, finished with extra virgin olive oil), or Real Tomato Ketchup, full of the natural flavour of Mediterranean tomatoes reduced from 200g into every 100g of rich, thick sauce.Fun food can be healthy food.

Innovate, involve and enjoy.

Fewer Eees : More Aahhs

 

As it says in ‘Our Story’ (HERE), Rick Sheepshanks founded Stokes with quality Mayonnaise as his primary goal, followed quickly by Tomato Ketchup – so good it was the only way he got his daughter to eat vegetables.

What else tastes THAT good?Couldn’t Give a Fig!

Try our Fig Relish with air-fried sausages, new pots and tenderstem broccoli and feed your team the difference that’s Stokes. It is a sweet fig relish with a slight tartness, brimming with dried figs (60%) and made with cider vinegar and molasses.Lamb Kofta Skewers

More mixing on the work surface.

Mix 500g minced lamb in a bowl with a little ground cumin and coriander. Add a couple of teaspoons of Stokes (garden sweet) Mint Sauce (others might be too tart). Grate a couple of cloves of garlic and add that too.

Mix, mix and mix some more then divide and roll into 8 equal sized balls. Now thread them onto skewers. Brush with British rapeseed oil and grill.

Mix yogurt, ground coriander, a little lemon juice and Stokes Mint Sauce for a Persian-style dipping sauce.Just Add Stokes.

Because we use only the finest, natural ingredients to develop the naturally wonderful flavours in our sauces, we know there are fewer ‘Eees’ and more ‘Aahhs’ of enjoyment.

Crispy battered air-fried fish goujons on a bed of lettuce and Tartare Sauce, topped with a drizzle of sparkling Sweet Chilli Sauce – that’s an ‘Aahh’.Not Just for BurgersAny kitchen feeding a family needs Stokes Burger Relish close to hand.

Transform your burgers into something stylish with this rich, slightly sweet tasting red pepper, tomato and onion salsa, with a subtle note of chilli. It adds vibrant life to so much – pizzas, nachos, burgers of course.

Mix in a little Chilli Jam to add the poke you can’t woke – it’s pure taste heaven.
