Italian gifts and foods arriving

Foodie gifts & treats

This is the time of year when lots of delicious and beautiful looking goodies arrive in the shop already for the Festive Season (can't quite bring ourselves to say Christmas).

There are so many wonderful foods available this time of year - not least from Italy, which is where our delivery was from this week.



We have fluffily moist panettone cake and fruity panforte which is a slab of densely packed dried fruit and nuts that is delicious with a slice of pecorino sheep's cheese.

We love these miniature chocolate meringues which melt in the mouth that just go so well with brandy soaked fruit or just pop one in your mouth at the end of a meal with your coffee.










These earthenware olive oil bottles are beautiful too - a lovely addition to any kitchen and you can just keep refilling it when the oil finishes.




We have lots of fun at Papadeli selecting (and tasting) all the fine foods and love it when the shop gets really full of the gorgeous delicacies.

Papadeli's making jam!

Papa's mum and dad have some lovely plum and apple trees, and little Tomos has been busy collecting the fruit ready for some jam and chutney making.


Archie the Golden Retriever tried to do his bit by eating as many fallen fruits as possible.


The trees this year seem particularly laden with juicy fruits so picking was easy.  Lots and lots were eaten as well!


We will be using the jams and chutneys in the cafe so come and try some - we'll let you know when they're ready!

Fairy cakes for Bristol garden party

Favourite event of the week? 

We made food for a garden party and the creativity going on in the kitchen was just amazing.

Lori excelled herself with delicious fairy cakes and bakewell slices whilst Kelly got down to making some beautiful pinchos topped with smoked salmon and cream cheese, parma ham and pesto - all superb to look at and scrumptious to taste.

The food, as you can imagine, had a wonderful response with everyone being extremely complimentary and every tiny morsel being eaten.

Kelly and Messalina, who worked at the event were also praised for their helpfulness and efficiency.

All in all an very successful event!

If you'd like to have Papadeli party food at your event, please email catering@papadeli.co.uk
