Win a fabulous Instant Pot multi-cooker and air-fryer

Sponsored giveaway: If you’re someone who’s been gagging to own one of those amazing Instant Pot multi-cooker and air-fryers you’re in luck. We have one to give away this month thanks to Instant Brands UK

The Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid Multi-Cooker and Air Fryer has an incredible 13 functions. It can air fry, grill, roast, pressure cook, steam, sauté, sous vide, dehydrate, make yoghurt, prove bread, and warm food plus it uses 4.4 times less energy than an oven.

The clever thing is that you can switch from one function to another - from pressure cooking to air frying or vice versa, for example, just adding or removing the inner pressure cooking cover to reveal the air frying heating element which allows you to achieve crisp and delicious results with less oil, which also makes it a healthier cooking option.

You can read more about what it can do here. (I have a friend who uses hers all the time)

The Duo Crisp is perfect for busy households, health-conscious cooks, and anyone who wants to save time and space in the kitchen while creating easy, delicious meals.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Wednesday May 31st 2023 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.

Win a luxury Spanish food and wine hamper from Mercado 44

One of our most popular competitions last year was a luxury Spanish food and wine hamper from my mates Owen and Tom Morgan of Bar 44 who have the most brilliant restaurants and tapas bars in Bristol and Cardiff and I’ve managed to twist their arm to do it again.

They also have an online shop Mercado 44 from which they’ve picked a fabulous selection of food and wine worth £250.

It will include a selection of luxury Spanish ingredients including 100% bellota grade hand carved jamón Ibérico, Don Bocarte Cantabrian anchovies, Riojan white asparagus, Wood fired Restaurant Gueyumar preserved seafood from Asturias, a litre of their own extra virgin olive oil, Valdespino sherry vinegar and a selection of delicious savoury and sweet snacks.

There are also six wines including the Bar 44 manzanilla en Rama (one of my favourite sherries), two brilliant Spanish whites and reds and a bottle of Vilarnau’s organic Cava plus a copy of their recipe book ‘Bar 44 tapas y copas’ to inspire you. The book also has chapters on sherry, Spanish wine, gin, Spanish cider, cocktails, and vermut (vermouth) as well as pairings for each of the recipes.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday February 12th 2023 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.

Win a case of Libertine - England’s sexiest sparkling wine!

December’s prize is very much a personal pick - a champagne-style sparkling wine that not only looks different but tastes different too and I absolutely love it.

It’s a really fruity sparkling rosé made from grapes grown in Essex of all places, though Essex is apparently where it’s at for English grape growing being generally warmer and drier than the rest of the country. (They make some impressive chardonnay and pinot noir too.)

But actually it’s not so much how it’s made or even how it tastes but how it makes you feel, encapsulated by the name and label.

As Liam and John, the two Masters of Wine behind the project say “There’s a moment of joy that accompanies opening a bottle of fine sparkling wine. Great still wines are solemnly appraised, but sparkling wines demand the company of friends, partners, and lovers. Libertine is a celebration of these bonds of pleasure.

What I particularly like is that our winner will get take possession of the prize in January which is when you most need cheering up. And will have the perfect wine to hand for Valentine’s Day.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on January 2nd 2023 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.

If you fancy buying a bottle yourself in the meantime you can find it at the SW Bottle Shop in Tavistock and Red & White
