Did you know our food habits change with the seasons? When the weather is hotter we subconsciously choose colder foods as we have a built in need to regulate our body temperature which is why ice cream is always so appealing in the summer. We have a whole range of Cold Desserts ideal for helping you to keep cool this summer from Chocolate Eclairs filled with cream to sundaes and a range of ice creams.
