I've been using Doves Farm but not sure how it compares to the conventional one in the blog.. as the DF one is not organic..

Ocado sells fresh yeast, not organic but Swedish

Kron Jast does an organic yeast however

If that doesn't work it's www.kronjast.se and the organic one is green on yellow and certified KRAV

Not sure how the face got in there lol will blame Google

I've been using the orange pack DF, I've never seen that blue tin in the shops?

Tempted to order the SM one, though would rather buy in a shop than pay delivery.. (I already use the flour and it's really good, they only supply to independent style shops though).

I opened my jar of Duchy oranic wholegrain mustard with honey it's delicious. One of the nicest I've tried. Very envious of all those near a waitrose/in an ocado delivery area!

I have some of that in the fridge too

I've got Grey Poupon mustard ATM, takes so long to use up.

However I would look for an organic French Dijon moutarde in preference - def nowt with honey in. :eek: It's probably very handy for smearing over roasts tho.

I'm getting together my second order for French Click. Will try both types of organic butter, (President and Grand Fermage), the Poilane sourdough bread for OH, organic Provencal sauce, smoked garlic, Agen prunes for Maman, the organic steak hache (soo annoying not being able to put accents in), 500g organic tomatoes, organic Mozzarella, tins of cassoulet for OH and whatever else...

Beckyy I agree that those of us who live near a Waitrose or within a Waitrose delivery area or better still an Ocado delivery area are lucky. We're looking at houses, tentatively toying with the idea of moving and yikes (love that old-fashioned English exclamation) thank you for reminding me to check whether Ocado, Waitrose, Abel & Cole and Riverford deliver.

Edited to add.. I was so perturbed by the idea of not being able to get food because this place we're thinking of is a small town of under 10,000 people, that I called Abel & Cole, Riverford, Ocado and Waitrose all deliver.. yay ! There are independent shops but no supermarket.

Ocado veg box this week has sweet potatoes rather than regular potatoes so I am tempted. But can I eat it all before the stuff goes bad?

Which organic butter would you recommend?

I have the Duchy one but as their milk is not homogenised does that mean it will go bad much faster than Yeo Valley or Waitrose own brand organic butter? Is there much difference with unsalted and salted butter?

I normally don't like cheese stronger than mild cheddar but I really enjoyed Waitrose Organic Mature Cheddar, dare I try the extra mature however?

Is there much difference nutrition wise between Greek yoghurt and Bio Live yoghurt?
