Autumn/Winter range of inspirational foods with a twist from My Secret Kitchen

My Secret Kitchen have just launched their new and intriguing range of foods with a twist, and these new products are just as interesting as the rest of them.

The White wine and Porcini finishing sauce. has been developed after they received requests for something special for pork, white fish and chicken dishes. A finishing sauce, as the name suggests, is designed to add a finishing touch to your dishes and should be added at the very end. White wine has been combined with Porcini mushrooms to create an elegant and classy flavoured sauce.

Adding a touch of the sauce to fish pie, or mixed with chicken stock it will bring a delicious taste to a risotto. It is also great for using with those turkey leftovers, for finishing off a pasta dash and will make your mashed potato extra tasty. It is also suitable for vegetarians as the vegetable based bouillon has been used in its creation.

Chocolate Peppermint Sauce.  is a mouthwatering combination of dark chocolate, fresh peppermint oil and vanilla extract, resulting in a cool and creamy sauce. Add it to your desserts or ice cream, use it to make delicious peppermint profiteroles or stir a spoonful into hot milk to make a soothing drink. Why not pour over the Ultimate Chocolate Brownies for an exquisite taste sensation.

Mochaccino Cookie Mix.- A brilliant cookie mix, bringing coffee together with chunks of white and dark Belgian chocolate.
Background

My Secret Kitchen is the UK’s first nationwide food and drink tasting company, and was started by husband-and wife-team, Clare and Phil Moran They’ve taken the traditional Tupperware style business concept of home demonstration parties and turned it into a wonderful food tasting evening, where the host and his/her friends have an enjoyable time experiencing unusual and different foods, sharing recipe ideas in a warm relaxed non-pressure environment.

The business concept has proven to be a great success in the recession for food lovers who are looking for an extra income and have joined My Secret Kitchen as a consultant, earning money from showing all the great foods.

My Secret Kitchen’s Phil Moran says they like to push the tastebud boundaries. Trying familiar foods with a bit of a twist is what they believe people will do in 2011.

Three new products have been launched by My Secret Kitchen to test their theory.

Lemon and Bergamot Shortbread mix – Having your afternoon tea all in one as this mixes bergamot the flavour found in Earl Grey with lemon. The shortbread is great by itself but with a touch of imagination there are many other uses say chief creator, Clare Moran. It could be used as a base for lemon meringue cheesecake of a crumble topping for white peaches or poached pears. For a subtle twist you can add orange zest, basil or rosemary.

Artichoke Pesto – The familiar pesto with a Tuscan hills twist by adding the flavours of garlic, thyme, lemon and the subtle flavour of artichokes. Top bruschetta or crostini with this great spread or mix the pesto with warm pasta or even chilled for a tasty barbecue pasta salad. For a touch of elegance a spoonful of the pesto to accompany pan-fried chicken breast with white wine, cream and asparagus tips.
Chocaberry Cheese Ball Mix combines with cream cheese to create tastefully tart mouthfuls of creamy white chocolate and raspberry indulgence. This inspires the possibility of outrageously impressive dessert cheese balls or, when also mixed with cream, an incredibly quick-and-easy cheesecake filling. Alternatively, just sandwich it between a couple of biscuits and enjoy a slice of fantasy food heaven.
