CuRRY Cook SITE
curry cuisine, the brainchild of husband and wife team, Paresh and Prett tejura,
has launched a new online shop to meet the growing national consumer demand
for its retail range of traditionally handcrafted chutneys, jams, condiments and
spice mixes. the continuing growth of the business led curry cuisine to create
two stand alone, but interlinking and complementary websites to differentiate its
cookery and retail divisions. the new cookery school website is at
www.currycuisinecookeryschool.co.uk and is more informative and
focussed on the range of courses and events available. the website also links to
the company’s online spice shop.

Steve’s Leaves find flavours and textures that stand out from the crowd. The latest leaf
to pass muster is delicate fennel fronds which have been added to baby spinach, green
Batavia and red chard to make a mix of leaves which is full of flavour, texture and colour.
This new bag of salad leaves is a classic partnership when teamed with fish, and a
variety of other foods such as quinoa and avocado. all steve’s Leaves are washed only
in spring water, ensuring no chlorine, chemicals or additives touch the leaves. the leaves
are ready to eat straight from the bag and perfectly portioned to minimise waste.
the team of tasters at steve’s Leaves spends hours tasting various new varieties of
baby leaf to bring the best new flavours and textures of salad to market.
once a leaf variety is chosen, the seeds are sown on one of steve’s Leaves’ farms and
grown slowly in natural light to ensure the highest
quality leaf is achieved.
