If you wish to try just one jar of Creamy Mustard & Cider Sauce, why not add it to your favourites sauces with our new Mix and Match 6 Pack?

Regular readers of my blog will understand my passion for Table B'hote Sauces, the quality ingredients, the natural taste, but mostly the 'free from' aspect of the manufacturing process.  Let me explain further! 

When blending ingredients together to create a sauce, I research each item to ensure they are free from additives, colours, preservatives, gluten and wheat.  Obviously, taste and texture have to be considered, along with keeping the salt and sugar content as low as possible.

During the creation of Creamy Mustard & Cider sauce, it was clear that a preservative was needed due to the mix of ingredients. Potassium Sorbate has no known side effects, nor would it affect the taste or texture.

The next hurdle was the appearance.  The sauce looked a little dull in the jar and I am sure some of the commercially known sauce makers would have been tempted to add artificial colour.  BUT NOT ME.  The sauce tastes devine which is most important, and best of all, remains free from colour.  Forgive my rambling explanation.  I just wanted to let you, my customers, know that much thought and planning go into creating our gourmet range of sauces.

A big welcome to Mole Valley Farmers, the latest stockists of Table B'hote sauces.  Three stores, South Molton, Frome and St Columb Major, are to carry stock, and I look forward to working closely with their colleagues when special tasting days have been arranged.  Watch for dates on the announcement page.  Thanks to Mike Hall for all his help.

Cheltenham Food and Drink Fare was great.  Lovely people, a great atmosphere, and lots of wonderful comments.  Here are a few.

Simon said 'It's that easy?'

Snowy & Alison called the sauces 'rustic'

Wendy emailed to say the Cottage Pie was delicious and placed an online order.

Alan and Thelma bought the Chilli as a 'home cooked' tasting meal for their children.

Mrs Hill loved the well balanced combination of ingredients in the new Creamy Mustard & Cider.

Mr & Mrs Mann couldn't chose, so bought one of each.

Susan enjoys her own recipe Chilli, but liked Table B'hote sauce better.

I am really pleased to present a new sauce to our range.  Creamy Mustard and Cider will be available from 17th June in a 400 gram jar.  This exciting addition can be used with Pork and Chicken and contains natural and fresh ingredients (as you would expect) including onion, mushroom, apple and double cream.  You will be able to purchase online soon, but if you can't wait, please contact me via email, and I will help you to find a stockist near you.  More good news!  It's Gluten and Wheat free.

Thursday, UK, Friday, The World.  Well not quite.  Table B'hote have received their first export order on Friday and we are delighted that our sauces will be enjoyed abroad.  Let's hope that this is the first of many orders to be exported.  Thanks to all concerned in securing this order.

I got hopelessly lost trying to find Godolphin House for a Food Fare this weekend.  With time slipping away I stopped to ask a young man jogging how to get there.  He surprised me when he said it was too complicated to explain, but if I would allow him to get in the van, he would direct me.  I heard myself saying 'jump in then'.  The young man was charming, worked in London all week, appreciated coming home to Cornwall every weekend and true to his word, guided me to my destination.  I certainly don't advocate picking up strangers but this one turned up trumps for me.  Thank you, whoever you are!
