'I tried a Too Good To Go bag from Harrods and contents left me flabbergasted'
Too Good To Go has proven a popular way to reduce food waste, but you can never be sure of what you're going to get. However, one woman insists the Harrods Too Good To Go is totally worth it The idea of shopping often in a premium store like Harrods is unrealistic for most of us, but one woman insists that you can get hands on the dreamy food items for significantly less money, thanks to her trick. Instead of paying full price, she gets heavily discounted, good quality food that would otherwise end up going to waste. She recently ordered two bags of goodies on Too Good To Go and people are only just realising that Harrods is on the app. People love getting a good deal. And as a result of this, Too Good To Go bags have become popular in recent years. The only catch? Users are not told what items they will receive inside the bundles. But young woman, Roshini, insists it is worth taking the risk when it comes to Harrods Too Good To Go bags. She warns that you have to be quick if you want to get your hands on one, but she pays £8 for a goody bag with items worth up to £26 inside. After trying the method for the first time early this month, she went back on the app again on Monday this week and managed to get hold of two Harrods goody bags. She paid £8 for a sandwich/salad bag worth £26, and £8 for a bakery bag worth £25.75. Taking to her TikTok page @therealroshini recently to share her experience, Roshini said: "It was on the app for one minute before it got sold out! Definitely worth it! Everything tastes so good." What did Roshini get in her bags? After opening her bakery bag, Roshini was delighted to find two red velvet slice cakes inside. The freshly made treats are worth £5.50 each. She rated the cake slices as 10/10. She also managed to get her hands on a pistachio slice cake, also worth £5.50, and given a 10/10 rating by Roshini. She described the cake as "soft and creamy". She was impressed after getting a whole loaf of "fluffy" Japanese milk bread, worth £6.50 in Harrods. She offered this treat a 8/10 rating. She also got a Nocellara olive stick, worth £2.75, and said this also deserves an 8/10 and "smells divine". In her sandwich and salad bag, Roshini got a teriyaki salmon salad box, worth £9. She also got a chicken caesar pasta salad box, also worth £9. Plus, she got a free rang ham, mustard and Godminster cheddar sandwich, which is worth £8 in store - and managed to bag this large sandwich plus two extra meals for the same price. People rushed to comment on Roshini's video. One said: "So good. I didn't know you could get them from Harrods." While another exclaimed:"Looks good." A third told her: "Wow, so jealous girl!" In a previous video, when Roshi first tried a Harrods Too Good To Go bag earlier this month, she managed to get hands on a funfetti vanilla cake slice and a chocolate fudge cake slice, both worth £5.50 each. She also got a Japanese milk bread loaf, worth £6.50, as well as a loaf of brioche – which was also originally priced at £6.50. She paid just £8 for this bag too, and the products would have cost her £24 in total if she bought them in store. "Ohhh those are great deals at Harrods," commented one. Another insisted: "Best Too Good To Go bag I've seen." A third chimed in: "Nothing better than sweet treats saved from going to waste!" Someone else also shared their experience and wrote: "Well done for what you got. I've done this a couple of times now... all I get are sourdough breads and flat to write home about."

Spicy-sweet halloumi dish is more than just cheese and olives
'This works really well for brunch, alongside soft-boiled eggs, but can just as easily be eaten as a light lunch or dinner,' explains Noor Murad, author of new cookbook Lugma. 'Feel free to make this vegan, by swapping out the halloumi for fried and salted tofu.' Noor Murad's 'Cheese and Olives' – halloumi with spicy olives and walnuts Ingredients: For the salsa: 4 tbsp olive oil 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 tsp coriander seeds, roughly crushed using a pestle and mortar 1 tsp Aleppo chilli flakes 70g jarred red (bell) peppers, very finely chopped 1 tbsp rose harissa 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tsp maple syrup 50g walnuts, well toasted and roughly chopped into 1cm pieces 70g pitted Nocellara olives, roughly chopped 5g mint leaves, roughly chopped 10g parsley leaves, roughly chopped 2 tsp pomegranate molasses For the halloumi: 2 x 225g blocks of halloumi, drained 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp maple syrup Method: 1. Make the salsa by adding the oil and garlic to a small frying pan (skillet) and placing it over a medium heat. Cook until beginning to bubble and smell fragrant, about one and a half minutes, then add the coriander seeds and chilli and cook for about 30 seconds more. Stir in the peppers, harissa, vinegar and maple syrup and cook for five minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix to combine. 2. Preheat the oven to 180C fan/200C/400F/gas mark 6. 3. Halve each of the halloumi blocks lengthways (so they are the same shape, but thinner now) to give you four rectangular pieces. Pat them well dry. Use a small sharp knife to make a criss-cross pattern across one side of each piece, with incisions about 1.5cm deep. 4. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the halloumi pieces and fry until nicely golden on both sides, about four to five minutes in total. Transfer to a small tray, criss-cross side up, and pour over the excess oil left in the pan, followed by the maple syrup. 5. Bake for seven minutes, or until really nicely softened through the centre. 6. Transfer to a plate, pouring over any juices left in the tray, then spoon over the salsa. Serve right away, while the halloumi is still warm. The Independent
