The Mother's Day Edit

Clockwise: Card from a selection at Betty and Maude Vintage Home, Cakes from Pinder's Patisserie, Rose from Blackdown Ridge, ice cream from a selection at Dylan's Ice Cream, whole lobster and wild garlic for 2 from Applegarth Farm and dulce de leche from Foraged Fire Foods.

Why not treat her to some beautiful Mother's Day cupcakes from Pinders Pattisserie? Laura produces these stunning cakes and sweet treats and it would be a travesty to not give any sweet-toothed foodie lover something from her collection (box of 6 cupcakes, RRP £20).  She is also offering a treat box, filled to the brim with blondies, brownies, eclairs, chocolate dipped strawberries, biscuits and a cupcake (RRP £35).

Blackdown Ridge Sparkling rose (RRP £25) – did you know we had our own vineyard within a stones throw of the town? Blackdown Ridge offer a selection of wines; this rose is predominantly pinot noir and pairs well with smoked salmon or lobster, such as this whole lobster with wild garlic from Applegarth Farm in Grayshott (RRP £48).

For a dessert to remember, why not try your hand at this chocolate and miso tart recipe from Foraged Fire? Dulche de leche  and hot honey can be purchased here (RRP £6.50 and £7.99 respectively), and would add a delightfully indulgent twist to vanilla ice cream from local's favourite, Dylan's Ice Cream.
