New Kids on My Block: Puzzle Organico & Spotted Vinyl Records

-
I am thrilled with my new, very convenient corner-shop. Puzzle Organico’s imposing remit – the shop’s tagline is ‘not costing the earth’ - is to provide the highest quality organic foods at affordable prices and the enterprising guys are on track. Fresh fruit and vegetables come from a certified organic farm just down the road on the Kent borders, complemented by some of the leading organic brands you would expect and some other delightful surprises. 

Puzzle Organico offers takeaway or eat-in teas and coffees, cakes and sandwiches together with a pressed juice bar. 

In suitably eccentric Peckham-style Puzzle Organico is also home to an outpost branch of New Cross’ Spotty Vinyl Records. Located in a designated space at the back of the shop – complete with decks – records are arranged by genre and are priced from 50p to £4. 

Healthy living never sounded so good!

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
