Jun 8, 2018
Like many an amazing gin, Arden’s Fine Food has friendships at its roots – and a worldwide eye for inspiration. Celebrate World Gin Day at home with these quick and easy Arden’s canapes, which pay tribute to the world’s most influential gin cultures.
When best friends Tim and Derek first began baking gourmet treats in Tim’s garden shed, they never could have imagined that they would one day see their products in the likes of Sainsbury’s andWaitrose. But, as anyone who has tried the brilliantly buttery bites in your June Gin of the Month box can attest, these goodies are a cut above.
Inspired by the flavours of Europe and baked with the passion of true foodies, Arden’s goodies aren’t stuffed full of synthetic ingredients to make them slightly less calorific. Rather, these treats are an indulgent credit to the cultures that inspired them… and fabulous party food, especially alongside the recipes below!
