Win a Kenwood Cooking Chef worth £1,000
What could be more British than a cream tea featuring a freshly baked scone cut in two, each half covered with clotted cream and topped with strawberry jam?
We do love our bakery goods, both traditional and Continental, and Mintel's 2009 report Bread and Morning Goods indicates that indulgent treats are still important to us, whatever our age.
It seems that the younger age groups,16-24s, have a sweet tooth and are more likely to favour higher-fat treats such as doughnuts. Those aged 25-34 are distinctive for their love of chocolate-based products. Whilst traditional in approach, those aged 45-54 like variety, although prefer a treat that is not too sweet such as Danish pastries. The more traditional 55-64-year-olds choose established favourites such as scones.
As caterers continue to balance the demands of time, skills and budgets in the kitchen, being able to consistently offer a good selection of freshly baked goods can be a tough challenge.
To help caterers meet these demands, Country Range has launched a quick and easy range of cake, bread and pastry mixes that also answer a growing desire for healthier baking products.
Buy It! has teamed up with Country Range to offer readers the chance to win a Kenwood Cooking Chef worth £1,000 together with a case of Country Range mixes.
