No contest: Joe and Dawn Reade of The Island Bakery have the best jobs in the UK. First of all, they live on the island of Mull, which is about the same size as Greater London, but blissfully peaceful with just 3,000 people. Secondly, they make the most incredible organic biscuits known to humanity. It's a family thing. Joe's parents own a neighbouring farm, producing their famous Isle of Mull Cheddar. Around three years ago, Dawn and Joe were baking bread which they sold throughout the island. Looking to diversify, they hit on the idea of original recipe organic biscuits. And then some.

We talked to Joe around early 2003, with the idea of getting them to supply us with catering packs - rather than the tube packs they sell in the likes of Harvey Nichols. Now we're the sole food service distributor for the UK.

And the products? Words don't really do justice - but our favourites are the Lemon Melts and Chocolate Gingers (with a chunk of crystallised stem ginger nestling in the middle). In fact, the Oat Crumbles and shortbread are pretty great too.

OK - so that's the entire appetite-ravaging range.

But don't just take our word that these are seriously tasty biscuits. They've also picked up a clutch of awards along the way, including Great Taste Award gold, silver and bronze medals - as well as being winners at the organic food awards.

It's also worth noting they're British Retail Consortium certified - so their bakery is top notch.

Dunk them at your peril.
