Lentil and Chickpea Curry

We usually feature one of our products each update but this time we thought we would do something a bit different and share a recipe that includes in its ingredient list quite a few products from our grocery and herbs and spices pages. It is an easy to prepare vegan curry that is both delicious and nutritious and perfect for those occasions when you need to whip up a meal in a hurry. Served with chutney yoghurt on rice and with warmed flat bread if desired, it becomes a warming, hearty meal you will really enjoy making and eating.

Changes to our Shop Pages

We have been busy developing a long overdue and customer requested feature which although difficult and time consuming to implement is definitely enhancing our shop pages by giving customers better visuals and more information about the products we sell. 

Many products now display an enhanced 'More info' feature which enables customers to click anywhere in a specific product listing to open a pop up modal featuring a photo and one or more clickable info tabs.

Hopefully this has also resulted in giving the website product listings section a more updated look with its zoomable images, product descriptions, ingredients and nutritional panels.

To close the model simply click or tap the 'X ' in the top right hand corner or anywhere outside the model box and you will be back to the product page you were on.

Over time information for more products will be progressively added but please have a look at what has been done so far and give us any feedback you might have on this new feature .
