description: Love fresh coffee in the morning? Ordering beans straight to your door means you'll never run out. We've rounded up the best UK coffee roasteries and highlighted winning products from each
encoded: If you rely on a cup of coffee to kickstart your morning, you're in good company – coffee is now the most consumed drink in Britain according to a 2024 global survey by Statista, knocking the stereotypically British cup of tea down into second place. Whether you reach for an artisanal pour-over or a cafetière cup, no one wants to wake up to the terrifying realisation that they have no coffee. Thankfully, with the recent rise of outstanding roasteries across the UK, finding your perfect brew has never been easier. We tested 23 types of coffee bean and have selected our top nine below, measuring each coffee against four main flavour categories: sweetness, acidity, bitterness and balance. Because artisan bean production can have a quick turnover, some of these blends will only be in stock temporarily, but we've recommended the roasteries, too. For more on coffee, we've reviewed the best bean-to-cup coffee machines, espresso machines, coffee pod machines, filter coffee machines, iced coffee makers, cafetières, coffee grinders, milk frothers and reusable coffee cups. Plus, read our guide to picking the best coffee machine for your budget. Sponsored by Origin Coffee Experience the flavours of Christmas with Origin Coffee's seasonal blends What better way to celebrate the festive season than with Origin Coffee’s Christmas blends? For espresso lovers there’s the Christmas blend, which marries raspberry truffles, poached plums and cocoa flavours. If you're after something bolder and more complex, try San Antonio Christmas Single Origin coffee beans, which offers candied apple, prune and almond notes – ideal for French press or cafetière. You can experience both with the Christmas Coffee Duo Set, or if you own a coffee pod machine, try Origin Coffee’s Christmas pods, which are fully compostable.

description: Read on for the secret to eternal youth…
encoded: ‘Biological age’ is supposed to indicate the ‘real’ age of your body – or what age you are on the inside. It’s this that biohackers are trying to manipulate in their quest for longer, healthier lives. But I’m not a biohacker. I’m a quite tired, full-time editor, mother of two teenagers and wife to an overworked teacher. I don’t really exercise and I enjoy a drink. So how the hell is my biological age 20? Molecular biologist Dr Nichola Conlon is an expert on longevity, and explains: “Ultimately everything to do with the ageing process really starts on the inside at the cellular level. What's really interesting is that not everyone's biological age and chronological age match up. Some people are either ageing faster on the inside – in which case they have a higher biological age – or they're ageing slower on the inside, so their biological age is lower.” Dr Nichola appears on the podcast ‘What’s My Age Again?’, where comedian Katherine Ryan gives celebrity guests a biological age test. To give a bit of context, Katie Price was 70 (actual age 47), former footballer Jill Scott was 50 (38) and super scientist Prof Tim Spector was 42 (67). The test used in the show is the same one I tried, called GlycanAge. Jonathan White from the company says, “[it's] an at-home finger-prick blood test that measures your biological age through the lens of your immune system. We measure the chronic inflammation in your body and the patterns that cause it.” When I receive my rather fantastic results from Dr Nichola, I’m told that my inflammatory markers are in the top 1%. Most people in this centile are on some kind of supplement or medication to help with ageing or longevity (for instance HRT). Otherwise they have both good genes (family members living well into their 90s) and a very resilient immune system (with minimal inflammation). I’m not too sure how I’ve found myself here. My longevity genes don’t seem to be bad (my parents are soon turning 80 and look young for their age; but only…

We tried 10 hangover cures – these are the ones we’d recommend

description: The Good Food team pooled their tried-and-tested hangover cures and got an expert nutritionist to rank the most effective
encoded: The classic symptoms of hangover – a pounding head, dehydration, low blood sugar and an upset stomach – typically start when almost all the alcohol has been cleared from your system, probably 8-10 hours after your night out. It’s not unusual to feel pretty rough for at least 24 hours, although it can take longer to get back to feeling your old self again. Sadly, there’s no definitive cure for a hangover. But many of us have go-to ways of propping ourselves up next morning; how effective these are will depend on whether they address the key symptoms of excess alcohol or simply make us feel a little less sorry for ourselves. This festive season, the Good Food team have shared their favoured hangover solutions, and we’ve asked nutritionist Kerry Torrens to rate them. Find out if yours is on the list, or what you should do to improve your morning after… Our top 10 go-to hangover cures: 1. Healthy pepper tomato & ham omelette Chosen by: Kerry, nutritionist Given that it's our nutritionist’s recommendation, you’d probably expect this breakfast of champions to take the top spot in our list. Nutritionist says: Eggs are a festive storecupboard essential. Quick to prepare, nourishing and filling, eggs sustain and restore you the morning after. They contain almost all essential nutrients, except vitamin C – which is provided here by the peppers and tomatoes. This omelette uses a combination of egg whites and whole eggs; egg whites are a natural source of cysteine, an amino acid that breaks down the toxic byproducts of alcohol that are responsible for your banging head and upset stomach. Egg yolks meanwhile are a source of choline, a water-soluble vitamin that supports the liver’s detoxication process. And the ham and cheese will help curb those post-alcohol cravings. Verdict: Requiring minimal fuss, this nourishing option will restore energy levels and replenish lost nutrients. Swap the ham for smoked salmon if you prefer, then simply add a hydrating drink such as a glass of w…

description: From traybakes for the table to a succulent Christmas roasts with all the trimmings, a solid roasting tin is an essential piece of kitchen kit – discover our pick of the best to buy
encoded: A robust roasting tin is essential for cooking Christmas dinner or – beyond that – Sunday roasts and midweek traybakes. As such, it’s important not to purchase this indispensable kitchen staple without doing some homework. Buy right and it should give you years of faultless use and still be easy to clean. Most roasting tins come with lengthy guarantees to indicate their manufacturers' faith in the longevity and we guarantee you won’t regret buying a quality pan. To find the best, we tested a range of oven roasting tins, ranging from budget buys to those costing more than £150, and most performed adequately when cooking a set recipe of chicken thighs with garlic cloves, potatoes and onion rings. We picked out the tins that helped make an even roast, crisping veg and adding a crunchy edge to spuds without burning on the sides or warping when we carried the food from oven to counter. Every tin in our final selection also scored well for browning without sticking. Read on for our recommendations.

description: Elevate your festive celebrations with these inspired wine choices, perfect for every kind of Christmas gathering
encoded: With the festive season fast approaching, deciding which wines to serve at Christmas can cause as much debate as the menu itself. Should you opt for crowdpleasing all-rounders or take the opportunity to try something new? Either way, whether you’re planning a cosy family gathering or hosting a large crowd, the right bottle can elevate any occasion, and it pays to choose bottles that are both versatile and a little bit special. This guide is designed to help you shop with confidence over the festive period, with selections to suit every taste and budget, from vibrant prosecco to elegant reds and aromatic whites. Read on to discover our pick of the best wines for Christmas, including some non-classic alternatives that promise to make your festive drinking deliciously memorable. For more wine recommendations, don't forget to check out our guides to the best prosecco, best pinot grigio, best pinot noir and best malbec. Best wine for Christmas 2025 Crémant If you're after a budget-friendly alternative to champagne, a bottle of crémant is ideal. Made using the same traditional method as champagne but from regions like the Loire, Alsace or Jura, it offers refined bubbles and a fresh, lively palate at a fraction of the price. Its lightness and gentle fruitiness make it a surefire crowdpleaser, great for festive parties or as a partner to seafood, white meats and nibbles. It also works well as a base for festive cocktails like bellinis or spritzes. We recommend: Roche Lacour Crémant de Limoux Rosé 2022, £12.99 at Laithwaites Château de l'Aulée Crémant de Loire, £14.99 at Laithwaites Chardonnay Chardonnay is a classic white wine choice for Christmas, especially those that offer a little richness and restrained oak. Its rounded body and notes of citrus, melon and occasional hint of spice make it the perfect partner for roast turkey, creamy sauces and smoked fish. We recommend: Campanula Chardonnay 2024, £9.49 at Laithwaites Morillon Blanc Jeff Carrel Chardonnay, £16.99 at Lait…

encoded: Sauvignon Blanc may be the go-to for many a dinner party, but isn’t it time we gave our tastebuds (and our guests) something new to talk about? If you're looking for new wines to try this Christmas, whether for the big day itself or for parties in the festive season, the world of white wine is brimming with exciting alternatives that deserve a swirl in your glass at the end of the year. The world of wine can at times feel daunting, so where best to begin? 'When it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, the thing people really seem to love is the racy acidity and the intense fruit flavours made popular by New Zealand’s wines,' says Laithwaites wine expert Grant Hedley. 'To find an alternative, drinkers should look for winemaking regions that get plenty of sunshine but still get a cool temperature drop overnight. Greek Assyrtiko is a great choice, as is Spain’s superstar white Albariño'. Christmas is a great time to try new bottles – a season of entertaining, pairing great wine with food and choosing an extra special bottle to enjoy during the celebrations. From under-the-radar grapes to bottles with a bit more personality, branching out can elevate your Christmas table from predictable to palate-pleasing. If you're looking for a gift for a wine lover, a unique bottle they haven't tried before makes a chic Christmas present too. So, if you’re ready to retire the sauv blanc – just for Christmas! – here are five white wines to impress your guests and add a splash of intrigue to the Christmas dinner table.
