English Biscuits at Gourmet Fusion

As I am English, I often try to include some English food items at the Gourmet Fusion store. Now I know many people think that English people have no idea about food, or how to prepare it, but that is simply not true. Admittedly, I have come across some really bad cooks, and poor restaurants in England, but just like America, England also has some of the most amazing cooks and finest restaurants in the world.

Baking has always been a tradition in England, and even today, "from scratch" baking is the norm, rather than the exception in most kitchens. Baking pies and cakes at home is very common, however, biscuits (cookies) are usually bought from the store in packets. So, when I added the Norfolk Manor biscuits to the store, I could not wait to try them. English biscuits are slightly different to American cookies in that they have a crunchier, lighter texture, and these were no exception.

The flavors we carry are Pure Butter Clotted Cream, and English Toffee and Brazil Nut Biscuits. They have a light, buttery, flavor not unlike a Scottish shortbread, but the texture is fare more airy, and they simply melt in your mouth.

Both are available online, and also at the Gourmet Fusion store in the Leaping Lotus, Solana Beach.

Typhoon at the Gourmet Fusion Store

We have just added some exciting new products to the Gourmet Fusion store from the English company Typhoon. Stylish and practical, we have super-absorbent dish towels, over-sized aprons and double oven glove/pot holders from the funky Vintage Kitchen range.

The fabric is 100% cotton twill with soft towelling linings in the gloves, and the retro designs are all reminiscent of the sixties in pastel shades of beige, blue, pink, yellow and green. If you are old enough to remember Spirograph, this is what some of the designs look like!

If you want to keep to the retro theme, but need something more wild and colorful, check out our new oven mitts, like the one shown here. They have a flower-power fabric at the front, and co-ordinating fabric on the back. They are quilted with built in steam and grease protective guard offering exceptional protection from heat. They also feature the unique "magnetab" which is a magnet in a tab that sticks to most fridges, ovens, and even your outdoor grill. Now what could be more convenient than that?
