Make your weekend a little special with a South American meal, from chorizo to torta de chocolate. Add a bottle of Argentinian wine, and perhaps a San Telmo apron to keep yourself nice before tucking in. No chef skills required – San Telmo’s dinner boxes (including the Noche Romantica!) are easy to heat and serve.

Little Cupcakes
The mini morsels from Little Cupcakes are almost too cute to eat. But with flavours like red velvet, Oreo and lemon, who can resist? If you know someone having a lockdown birthday, or just doing it tough, send a gorgeous cupcake bouquet. Good news, vegan and gluten-intolerant cake lovers – they’ve got you covered too.

Saint Dreux
Saint Dreux sounds French, but this coffee and katsu-sando bar is emphatically Japanese. Try their sweet indulgence, the house-made castella sponge. The celebrated super-moist honey cake came to Japan via Portugal in the 16th century. Here, the dense cubes have extra edge, iced in Japanese flavours of matcha or black sesame.
