'The M&S chocolates that I devoured in one sitting' and other items our food writer loved this month

The fellow Aussie in me will always advocate for a Tim Tam over Penguins (sorry guys) but trust me when I say this sweet and salty combo really is delicious. This feels somewhat better than the original!? It's got the sweet chocolate coating, chocolate cream, but then a very nicely balanced savoury biscuit taste, too. The perfect vessel for a Tim Tam slam with coffee or tea.

Ben (aka @dinnerbyben) is one of those cooks who manages to make everything look sensational (yes even toast and salad) and his debut cookbook is all about sharing his wisdom, tips and clever hacks to ramp up the flavour in every day cooking. How to cook has over 100 recipes to devour. From how to nail the perfect chive egg scramble to pillowy ricotta dumplings with cheese and tomato broth, every recipe will have you licking your lips and desperate to try them asap.

I'm very late to the game with trying these but boy am I glad I did. They're quite expensive but once you taste one, you'll understand why. Inside each morsel is a perfect pecan, lightly caramelised, and then coated with caramelised white chocolate. It is nutty, sweet, salty - with hints of butterscotch. They are absolutely perfect. 10/10. No notes.

It's always a good day when there's a new MOMO kombucha launch and this time it's the return of a much loved flavour: Zerbinati's watermelon! This limited flavour uses a specific variety called Sentinel, originating from Northern Italy, and grown by Oscar Zerbinati (hence the name). Each plant gives just one fruit(!), whilst Oscar carefully controls the water intake, resulting in a dense and flavourful flesh. Perfectly bottled up into a sweet and very tasty beverage in collaboration with MOMO.

For me, the perfect crisp has ridges in it, so McCoy's already ticks a lot of the boxes here, but their new, limited-edition flavour, secret burger sauce is really good. Think of it as like the zingy pickle mayo in a classic burger, but in crisp form. Crunchy, zingy, moreish and definitely a new favourite.

If you're looking for a unique and incredibly refreshing bottle of white wine, this bottle from South African winery Testalonga is a great one. It's made using 100% Chenin Blanc grapes, which gives it a lovely soft acidity with a ripe apple aroma, and flavours of pear and cinnamon spice. Perfect with your next Sunday roast.

Next time you're looking for a catering option for your workplace or friends, look no further than Crust Bros for an epic pizza party - just like we did! Known for their delicious Neapolitan-style pizza's, their dough is made fresh daily and proved for 48-72 hours, resulting in a super airy and light dough. There are all the classics to go for (don't skip the pepperoni) but the Nonna's Yard (caramelised onions, goat's cheese and pesto) was a firm favourite from the lot. They've just opened a brand new store in Covent Garden so it's the perfect excuse to spend the day shopping in town and fuelling yourself with delicious pizza.

A brand-new and very beautiful Café Kitsuné has *just* opened up around the corner from my office and I feel this will become a very unhealthy (and expensive) obsession for me. The space not only looks cool, with its timber panelling and soft trendy furnishings, but there's some divine pastries and cakes to choose from and a coffee menu to suit all tastes. If there's one thing you must try from the menu, it's their Spanish matcha latte (sweetened with condensed milk) and their pistachio croissant - filled to the brim with decadent nutty pistachio paste.

Atis swiftly went to the top of my favourite lunch option - especially as there's a branch right by the office. As soon as I tried their salad bowls I was hooked. Fresh ingredients, made in front of you. If you're trying to reach your protein goals you can add on more, or if you're looking for a boost of fibre - add in extra veg. Also the sauces are fresh, zingy and complement the meal perfectly. I recently opted for the Big Greek bowl with turkey meatballs, roast courgette, tender grains and a herb yoghurt dressing. Delish!

Did you know that there's a literal oasis on the rooftop at the Ham Yard hotel in the middle of Soho? The space has recently been transformed into a slice of Provence with copious amounts of Château La Coste rosé wine, bistro-style seating, olive trees and lavender plants. From now until mid September, they are offering afternoon teas, paired wine dinners and the option to experience the rooftop itself. Don't miss the rosé sorbet (offered upon arrival when you book the rooftop experience) and Le Grand Aioli sharing platter with the most vibrant crudites, juicy crevettes and anchovies you'll taste all summer.
