Welcome to the Family Sharing & Home Cooking Degustabox!
September is over, the cold weather is here, and we're entering the season of hearty soups and stews.
Latest Degustabox feels seasonal, with its selection of comfort foods and sweet treats.
Degustabox is a monthly food and drink subscription box. It's an excellent way of discovering new products which have only just appeared in the shops, or those which have been around for a while, but you haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Thanks to Degustabox, I have found new favourites to add to our shopping list, including some products which I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise.
Each time the monthly box arrives, its contents are a total surprise. You get a good selection of foods and drinks.
If you haven't tried Degustabox subscription box yet, and would like to have a go, I have a £3 off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order.

Amy's Kitchen Organic Vegetable Barley Soup (£1.89) is a tasty blend of organic garden vegetables and barley cooked in a delicate, flavourful broth.
It is vegan, low-fat, dairy-free.
Ingredients include onions, barley, carrots, diced tomatoes, celery, leeks, courgettes, peas, garlic, spices and herbs.
It's a lovely vegetable soup, great for the cold days. It did need a bit of extra salt, I thought, but otherwise, pretty good.
Available in all major supermarket chains.

Naked Five Minute Noodles - Chicken Yakisoba (£1) is actually a vegetarian meal in a packet. It's dried egg noodles in a chicken Yakisoba flavour sauce, with red pepper and spring onion.
You can add meat or a meat alternative and a handful of vegetables of your choice, while making a hot meal. I added just a handful of the vegetable mix from the freezer (French beans, carrots, sweetcorn), and some chopped fresh parsley to it.
Nutritional information: less than 170kcal and 1% fat, no artificial colours or preservatives, it's a source of protein (soya beans) and vegetarian.
Available at Tesco.
EMILY Veg Thins (£0.79) are made with real veg and pulses - corn, pea, black bean and red lentil. These are low-cal savoury snacks (at 90-92kcal), gluten free, vegan, a source of protein and fibre. They are crunchy vegetable tortilla chips with sea salt or BBQ seasoning.
You should receive 2 items in the box.
Available at Waitrose, Ocado and Amazon.
FULFIL Chocolate Hazelnut Whip bar (£2) is a vitamin and protein bar. It contains 15g of protein and 2g of sugar, as well as 9 vitamins to support you through everyday life. Contains 30% of your RDA of Vitamin E, C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid and pantothenic acid.
Available in the major supermarket chains, Amazon, petrol forecourts and many other stores.
RHYTHM108 Sweet'n'salty Almond bar (£1.49) is made with smooth almond butter, oat flour, and covered in a silky "mylk" chocolate. Each bar takes 3 days to make from start to finish to get the perfect coating, plus it has 45% less sugar and all organic ingredients.
High in fibre, gluten free, vegan, it includes 188kcal and 8g of sugar per bar.
Available at Sainsbury's, Boots, Ocado, WHSmith, Wholefoods, Planet Organic and Booths.
McVities's V.I.B.s (£1.79) - you might have spotted them recently. All three flavours - Classic Caramel Bliss, Luscious Blood Orange Flavour or Heavenly Chocolate Hazelnut Flavour - sound tempting. We received a pack of Classic Caramel Bliss, and it disappeared pretty fast.
My guys love McVities biscuits, and the new range didn't disappoint. They are a lovely combination of a golden baked biscuit, topped with delicious chewy caramel and coated with a silky-smooth milk chocolate.
We're yet to try the other two flavours, but I've seen them in the supermarket, and I'm sure we'll soon buy them.
Available in all major supermarkets.
More of chocolate treats this month - Nakd Drizzled Chocolish Bars Multipack (£3). That's definitely a healthier alternative for any chocolate fan. Chocolish bars are made with fruit and nut centre and drizzled with the rich Chocolish - Nakd's answer to chocolate. I like the flavour, but not that keen on the name.
We got a multipack of Peanut Chocolish, but other flavours are also available at all major supermarkets.
Whitworths Chocolate Biscuit & Hazelnut Treat Mix (£2) is a brand new delicious snack. It's a combination of chocolate biscuits, crunchy hazelnuts and juicy raisins. The biscuits are tiny, smaller than hazelnuts.
Nutritional information: 122kcal and 9.1g of sugar per 25g serving. It's a lovely little treat to share.
Suitable for vegetarians.
We love maple syrup drizzled over pancakes, and I was pleased to find two small bottles of St Lawrence Gold Pure Canadian Maple Syrup (£1). It's a perfect topping for porridge or plain granola, ice cream, waffles and pancakes. It has a wonderful flavour and aroma.
Available at Ocado, Booths, independent natural food and organic stores.
I used one of the bottles while baking a Belgian-style apple tart, with a grated and sliced apple and ground apples.
It was also one of the ingredients for the roasted tomatoes, a dish which I'm happy to eat either hot or cold. It's delicious with cheese.
Hartley's Jelly Pots (£0.55 for a single pot or £1.65 for 3). These 125g pots of raspberry flavoured jelly are bursting with fruity flavour, and could be a lovely lunchbox treat. Under 100kcal, they contain no artificial colours or flavours and are suitable for vegetarians.
Available in all major supermarkets.
Peter's Yard Original Sourdough Crispbread was one of the gifts, which some of the subscribers received. Peter's Yard is one of my favourite brands. Their crispbreads and cheese are a marriage made in heaven.
We also got The Protein Ball Co Goji and Coconut vegan protein ball. It is gluten free, high fibre, has no added sugar, and contains all natural ingredients.
Though lovely enough, personally I'm not a fan of protein balls.
There were two drinks enclosed this month, one of them - Lucozade Revive (£1.49), which is a new product from Lucozade. Naturally inspired uplift, this sparkling orange and passion fruit multivitamin juice drink with sugar and sweetener, contains vitamins B3, B5, B6 & B12 to help reduce tiredness.
Available in all major supermarkets.
Thatchers Cloudy Lemon Cider (£5.50 per 4-pack) is a zingy and refreshing drink, made with real lemons. The sharp acidity of lemons complements the sweetness of dessert apples such as Braeburn, Gala and Red Spur.
Available at all major supermarkets and online at www.thatcherscider.co.uk
