New Year & Enjoyable Moments Degustabox

 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 otherwise wouldn't have tried.

Each time a 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 £3off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order. 

What did we get in the New Year & Enjoyable Moments Degustabox box?

Lee Kum Kee (Europe) Limited Sachet Sample Box (£4.99) is packed with small sachets of umami flavours which will allow you to explore the authentic Chinese cuisine.

I'm a frequent visitor to Lee Kum Kee site, and have quite a stash of their sauces and oils in my pantry. Their Hoisin sauce is delicious, and Teriyaki sauce is exceptionally good, probably our top favourite Teriyaki sauce, and we've tried many brands.

The sample box includes Premium Oyster sauce (40g), Chiu Chow Chilli Oil (3g), Sweet Soy Sauce (20ml), Chilli Garlic Sauce (30g), Hoisin Sauce (30g), Yellow Bean Sauce (40g) and Lee Kum Kee cooking guide.

It's a great starter pack which allows you to sample products without buying full sized ones. 

Try drizzling the chilli oil over noodles, pizza or soup to add a little kick of heat.

Heinz Made for Veggiez Balsamic & Rosemary sauce (£2.50) is an expertly crafted sauce from the new range.

A couple of months ago Degustabox has introduced a different sauce from the range - Chilli & Miso - which we absolutely loved. It was perfect for roasted vegetables. I was very pleased to find another flavour from the range.

Balsamic & Rosemary is another sauce, great for cooking vegetables with. It is made with Balsamic vinegar of Modena, Bramley apple puree, olive oil, a selection of vegetables, herbs and spices. Inspired by the Mediterranean flavours, it works perfectly with grilled or roasted courgettes, peppers and tomatoes. 

Add a generous dollop, when making a tomato-based sauce for pasta. You can also use this sauce as a dip.

Available at Morrisons and Ocado.

Odysea Harissa Houmous/Spicy Ajvar dip (£2.75) - a popular side dish to serve with a variety of snacks, like crisps, crackers, slices of chunky bread. Either dip goes well with roasted vegetables and cheeses, as well as cold meats.

You will receive one item of two. We got Spicy Ajvar dip, made with roasted red pepper and aubergines, garlic and spices. This is a traditional recipe from the Balkans. Rich and spicy, this vegetable-based dish is suitable for vegans.
