Get hot and heartfelt with spiced-up offerings from Stolichnaya’s new Stoli Hot.

Keeping a few sachets of Rustic Indian’s cook-sauces to hand is a convenient way to knock up a speedy yet ‘healthy, nutritious, vegetarian and gluten-free’ meal, like these ‘Shahi’ dishes fit for royalty.

Collier’s Cheddar does what it says on the tin- Powerful and Welsh. Use it to knock up this ultimate rarebit.

No longer the preserve of tipsy Aunties, sherry has new swagger in these Christmas-sy cocktail ideas from Harveys.
