Ceramic Knife Set

No good chef should be without these staple tools of the trade! A set of ceramic kitchen knives not only look divinely stylish but are around sixty times more resistant than steel knives. Whilst they are slightly more delicate when it comes to bumps and knocks; these high quality kitchen accessories are much sharper and much more effective than your average metal block. They are crafted from zirconium ceramic; which is the most durable material known to man after diamond. They are stain and rust proof, and guaranteed to bring a whole new level of efficiency to food preparation!

Fondue Set

When it comes to entertaining nothing brings people together like sharing a fondue at a get together. Whether it’s cheese or chocolate you prefer to dip your nibbles in; a cast iron fondue set will serve as a favorite party accessory for any occasion. This makes a tasty and innovative alternative to buffet foods and is surprisingly low effort when it comes to preparation. So grab a fork and get sharing!

Mortar and Pestle

For those who love a rustic touch to their kitchen, a high quality mortar and pestle will be a welcome addition! A heavy duty marble hewn unit will hold its own as it’s in use; preventing any haphazard herb explosions in the kitchen. These traditional and charming accessories can be used to grind herbs, peppercorns and dry ingredients to create beautiful seasoning combinations. Pharmacies and apothecaries traditionally used this method to create medicines.
