Gourmet Foods and Lunch Treats

Confession time... ...my mouth was watering while I was writing this blog post! There are some seriously delicious things to be found at Encraftment Market this year - I can't wait!

Gourmet Food Stalls

The Gingerbread Company sell delicious, locally made gingerbread house kits for Christmas! Perfect for kids of any ages.

Badass Brownies make gluten and nut free chocolate brownies in a range of delicious flavours: orange and chilli, cranberry and white chocolate, coffee, 'plain', Blondies in various flavours, and they will probably whip out the much requested Extra Spicy Orange and chilli, and Mexican. Also for sale will be BIY kits (Bake-it-Yourself) kits complete with brownie trays.

Friendly Fantail handmake a super yummy, organic turmeric spice mix for people to be able to make their own at home. Their products are gluten free, sugar free, caffeine free - or as they like to say - free of everything except goodness!

Henri's Still Fudge Handcrafted with Spirit continues to develop and deliver a traditional fudge infused with fine Scottish and New Zealand single malt whisky, and genuine spirits such as absinthe, rum and Cointreau. For the pure at heart, Russian fudge is always there, and is heat sealed and presented in a unique artisan style. A gift for all occasions - especially those 'hard to buy for' at Christmas.

Kakariki Kitchen produce a range of delicious chutneys which aren't afraid to be a little different. Think Moroccan Apricot with the fragrance of rosewater or Dark Beer chutney, with dried and fresh fruit cooked slowly in dark craft beer. They also make a range of aromatic and authentic fresh curry pastes. So easy to use and the result is delicious. Can't go to Asia? Bring Asia to you! And if you love Asian flavours you can join the ever increasing fans of their Chilli, Lime and Ginger sauce. Use it to dress a salad, dip your fresh spring rolls or splash into a pan with your favourite vege, seafood or meat.

Spicecraft design and create their very own BBQ rubs and seasonings. Gluten free, vegan - yet full flavoured and so easy to use. Be sure to check out the new flavours!
