Forman & Field collaborate with Sophie Conran

Forman & Field, the luxury artisan food delivery service has collaborated with british designer and cook Sophie Conran to create an exclusive, new smoked salmon; ‘Rhubarb and Ginger’. This quintessentially English variety of salmon features in a stunning summer picnic hamper on sale now for £125, only available online at Forman & Field and Sophie Conran.

The Summer Hamper includes the exclusive salmon, Buckwheat Blinis, Godminster Biscuits, Cashel Blue Cheese, Keta Caviar, Spinach and Ricotta Flamiches, a Lemon and Pistachio Cake and a bottle of Chapel Down sparkling Rose. These mouthwatering treats all from Forman & Field’s extensive selection are partnered with two dinner plates and two side plates from Sophie’s brand new melamine collection.

The delicious new salmon, created by Sophie with Forman & Field at its unique 
H Forman & Sons’ east London smokehouse, combines complimentary flavours of rhuburb and ginger, making it rich and rounded.

Lance Forman, who runs the third generation family business, said: “Smoked salmon is always an English summertime favourite and rhubarb shares a similar place in our hearts. Rhubarb goes particularly well with oily fish and the addition of the ginger introduces a warmth that complements the tartness of the rhubarb and the fish itself. The rhubarb has a citrus flavouring and the ginger cuts through to create a light and refreshing taste sensation.

“We are delighted to have developed this unique variety of our smoked salmon with Sophie Conran. Her designs and dishes are renowned for their British sense of style and we believe the Summer Hamper will be a welcomed addition to her collection this season.”

Sophie says: “There is nowhere better than Britain in the summer with a host of amazing sporting events like Wimbledon, outdoor entertainment like the opera in Holland Park and the British Summer Time Festivals at Hyde Park and just generally getting together with friends to explore all the wonderful treats England has to offer. What could be more lovely than to pick up our wonderful hamper for a perfect summer day!”

The hamper retails for £125 plus postage and is available both from www.sophieconran.com and www.formanandfield.com
