British chocolatiers Fifth Dimension specialise in luxury handmade chocolates, made with high-quality single-origin cocoa, combined with classic and unusual flavours, inspired by their passion for food and travel. As returning chocolatiers to the Oxted Chocolate Fair (21-22 March) Fifth Dimension took visitors on a journey of discovery in taste combinations.
Born in Belgium, renowned chocolatier Matthieu de Gottal had his first experience baking with cocoa at the age of four. Over the years he has refined his skill and is now one of the UK's top artisan chocolate producers. Last December Matthieu brought his chocolate truffles to Oxted, Surrey - and they were exceptionally well received at the town's premier Chocolate Fair. Matthieu will return to Oxted again next weekend, along with many other great chocolatiers, for a weekend of chocolate at Oxted School.
Are you looking forward to the start of Summer, the smell of fresh cut grass (when someone else is doing the mowing), a little patch of sunshine, some quiet time and... a specially selected Craft Beer to nurse while you take a little time to relax?

Do we all dream of chocolates as a must-have Valentine gift when it comes to the 14th February? Many do! But in recent years tastes have changed and a box of assorted milk creams from the local convenience store or petrol garage may not make the grade this year considering the high standard of chocolate that is now being produced. Chocolatiers now have a great selection available for your chocolate lovers this Valentine's Day. But remember, chocolate isn't the only choice!
A nice bottle of wine for your Mum on Mother's Day is sure to win a few brownie points, especially if you team it with a home-cooked meal and a chance for your Mum to put her feet up and relax while everyone else sees to the dishes. But this year you can go one step further and invest in a few bottles of quality wine from Vin2o, who have hand picked wines, created lovingly by female winemakers, in its Mother's Day case.
