It's easy to forget that premium cold-pressed rapeseed oil has been around for less than 10 years, but this May marks the 10th anniversary of Hillfarm, the first farm in the UK to put their golden cold-pressed oil on supermarket shelves.

In 2004 husband and wife team Sam and Clare Fairs started to explore the possibility of producing a culinary oil from their rapeseed crop on their family farm in Suffolk. The result was an oil that was not only healthier than olive oil, but was so delicious that it has led Sam and Clare on a ten year journey, which has seen them achieve nationwide distribution for Hillfarm Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed Rapeseed Oil in several leading supermarket chains.

Hillfarm was the first cold-pressed rapeseed oil to market in the UK. Clare recalls, "Every bottle was hand-filled and sealed. We used to sit up late at night sticking on the labels ready to go out to local farmers' markets and events!"

Hillfarm remains very much a family business, growing, pressing and bottling on site to produce a fully traceable, sustainable, single estate and non-GM culinary oil. They select seed varieties for their superior nutrition and flavour, and they are clearly getting it right because Hillfarm's delicious buttery flavour, its golden colour and its versatility have made it the choice of top chefs from Mark Hix to Suffolk artisan bakers.

As well as more traditional uses like roasting, frying, or dressings, Hillfarm Rapeseed Oil is ideal for baking. From Ciabatta to choc-chip muffins, and brownies to blackberry and apple cake, it's a great way to make savoury and sweet treats that are lower in saturated fat but still taste divine.

Demand for Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed Rapeseed Oil has been increasing year on year as people have become hooked on its great flavour, versatility and nutritional benefits. And with their oil being stocked in supermarkets nationwide, Hillfarm is no longer a small producer, but they have remained true to the high quality of the original product. This year they will produce over 140 times more oil than in their first, requiring rapeseed covering an area the size of around 600 football pitches.

To celebrate this special anniversary, Hillfarm Oil will be on promotion in Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsbury's nationwide during May.

Outdoor cooking just got easier to enjoy with the new Verycook Plancha Grill. Popular in France, the home of gourmet dining, the plancha grill is a colourful gas grill that comes in ten colours with a choice of three cooking surfaces. It's the perfect, healthier way to cook outdoors without smoky barbecue flare ups and messy charcoal or coals.

Celebrity chef, Rachel Allen says: “The Verycook Plancha Grill is similar to a professional griddle and is much easier to use than a conventional barbecue. Just one click of the lighter and by the time you've set up your ingredients, you're ready to go. It's as simple as that.

“Having two independently temperature controlled cooking areas means I can sear fish, meat and seafood on one side, then keep food warm on the other whilst I make a quick vegetable stir fry on the other.

“Unlike a traditional barbecue, the plancha grill is a flat plate with raised edges making it is easier to control the food with no danger of food dropping through onto the gas or over the side. Excess fat doesn't sit around the food but drains away into the drip tray leaving a healthier dish for your friends and family to enjoy.”

Create delicious dishes on your Verycook Plancha Grill using meat, fish, seafood, fruit and vegetables. All you have to do is choose your preferred colour and cooking surface. Features include:

Veryhot - Two flame control knobs to manage two cooking areas separately heating the plancha grill surface to up to 300°C. Turn up the heat to sear on one side, turn down the heat on the other to keep food warm.

Veryeasy - Simply turn on the gas using the piezo-electric lighter and in just three minutes your plancha grill is ready to cook.

The 600 x 400mm plancha grill cooking area is 6mm thick to ensure perfect diffusion and distribution of heat over the entire surface. It's raised edges channel juices back to the drip tray and prevent food from sliding off the grill and onto the floor.

Verycolourful - Move away from traditional black and stainless steel and explore the Verycook colourful range of interchangeable panels for your plancha grill. Choose from 10 contemporary colours including pink, orange, yellow, red, purple, grey, denim, garden green, Verynox silver, and black.

Veryhealthy - When fat drips onto naked flames, flare ups occur releasing black smoke laced with unhealthy dioxins. By cooking away from the flames and allowing the fat to drain away from the food, the plancha grill is the ideal way to produce healthier, lighter food.

Verypractical – made from brushed stainless steel the Verycook Plancha Grill is perfect to use at home cooking for one to 12 people, or take it camping to get the most from your outdoor dining experience. It can be used as a standalone unit or mounted onto the the Verycook kitchen trolley with detachable side shelves to hang barbecue tools and provide additional work space.

Easy to clean - simply pour a little water or place a handful of ice cubes directly onto the plancha while it is still hot and any food residue can be easily removed. What's more, the fat collecting tray can be placed in the dishwasher. The coloured panels can also be removed to wash if necessary.
