Introducing the new Wesco Loft Collection

This new year, if you are after the increasingly popular industrial-style theme, then look no further! The iconic housewares specialist Wesco has recently launched this exciting new collection “Loft” that give kitchen and bathroom accessories a matt-powder-coating finish to give a modern, edgy look.

Clean lines, simple forms and stark contrasts are a must for this minimalist look. The collection’s colour palette of black, white, cool grey and graphite captures this perfectly and add an industrial sharpness.

Judge Classic Cookware Review

Judge’s new Classic cookware collection have the hard-wearing resilience of traditional cookware with cutting edge non-stick, to produce the ultimate cooking experience and pans that will last a lifetime.

Many years ago when I first came to the UK, all the pots that I bought were all Teflon coated as it make it easy to clean and cook. But after I had watched a BBC Watchdog and other gadget shows, I realised that the Teflon coating does not provide any more protection when there is a scratch. In fact, it could be harmful to your body when the chemical reaction releases into your food.

OXO Good Grips Bladed Meat Tenderiser Review

Have you wonder why do restaurants’ meat and poultry are always so tender and easy to chew? The secret is that they tenderise their meat and poultry beforehand. Some will use powdered/liquid tenderiser (made from papaya or pineapple) and some use a meat tenderiser. By doing so, it breaks down the connective tissue to make the meat thinner and flatter (not with the powdered/liquid tenderiser).

Romantic Valentines Day Meal

This Valentines day, OXO Good Grips set us a new challenge – to cook a 3 course meal for our loved ones. So I decided to make crispy duck pancakes for starters, duck breast with cranberry sauce for main and waffles with strawberries for dessert.

In order to help me with this challenge, I have picked the 3 piece large bowl & colander set, mandoline slicer and 9” tongs with silicon heads to use along with all my other OXO Good Grips kitchen accessories.

Baharat Roasted Chicken

Baharat is a spice blend from the Middle East. Recently, I have received the spices from Seasoned Pioneers to try out. I used a small quantity of the Baharat spice blend to rub into a whole chicken for roasting. It is such a rounded earthy spiced flavour with peppery notes. It is a great in tomato-based sauces and soups as well as meat and vegetable stews. You can also use it in a dip with mayonnaise.

OXO Good Grips Spatula Review

OXO Good Grip have recently launched a new colourful range of spatulas that helps brighten your kitchen and colour your life! They are made from silicone and are heat resistant up to 315°C, meaning that they won’t discolour, warp or melt. Each spatula features a soft, comfortable, non-slip grip and are safe for coated or non-stick cookware and bakeware. However, the downside is that the handle does attract dust though!
