On the far edge of the Scotch whisky map, it's supposed that the art of distillation was first brought to Islay by Irish monks. Being remote it's an art that flourished in the hands of the islanders, whose illegal operations tested the resolve and means of the tax man. Eventually, the law relaxed, various whisky makers set up legitimate distilleries, among them a pair of farmers, Donald and Alexander Johnston, who in 1815 founded their distillery on the island's south coast. Laphroaig, so called after its location, 'broad hollow by the bay.' It would remain in family hands for the next 139 years.
Ingredients: Sugar, Oranges, LAPHROAIG Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (3%), Orange Juice (from concentrate), Lemon juice (from concentrate), Gelling Agent: Fruit Pectin, Acidity Regulator: Citric Acid. Prepared with 35g fruit per 100g.
Mrs Bridges... Cook... or Kate to a very select few, began her life 'in service' as an under cook to 'respectable' families in the countryside of Victorian England. From those early days, she began collecting recipes - or receipts as they were then called - and her repertoire spanned from simple country cooking, to dishes in the fine French fashion. Kate Bridges earned the honorary title of 'Mrs' Bridges when she became Cook to one of the leading Edwardian families, and London socialites, Lady and Richard Bellamy. During her time at 165 Eaton Place, London, SW1, Mrs Bridges devised elaborate menus and cooked for some of the leading figures in the capital including the Monarch King Edward. Mrs Bridges collected her receipts for dishes which would grace regal banquets - as well as 'below the stairs' suppers. Inspired by the works of Mrs Beeton - and encouraged by her employer Lady Marjorie - Mrs Bridges drew her receipts into a book called "Practical Household Cookery" which was published in 1905. Mrs Bridges was immortalized in the long running 1970's series 'Upstairs Downstairs' where, along with the Butler Mr Hudson, she reigned 'downstairs.' Although few copies of her original book "Practical Household Cookery" survive, today the spirit of Mrs Bridges lives on in the range of fine food gifts. Mrs Bridges immortalizes British heritage and tradition in a jar. This quintessentially British range of fine foods and gifts is made using the finest ingredients. The signature jars' shape, exclusive to Mrs Bridges, combined with the traditional mop cap and bow add a touch of luxury to every product.
