Make staying in unique by taking the time to plan meals, create welcoming settings and present your food and drink in style. It’s easy to elevate any meal by carefully selecting versatile eating, cooking and serving pieces that can be used from breakfast to supper, and everything in between. From breakfasts with coffee and pastries to dinnertimes with your household around the table, make the most of this time at home.
Here are some of our favourite moments to enjoy at home:
Breakfast
Take some extra time over breakfast brew your favourite coffee blend in a cafeteria and enjoy some delicious pastries fresh from the oven.
Homemade Takeaway
Find a recipe to recreate your favourite takeaway at home and replace the takeaway containers with beautiful serving pieces. Bowls of all sizes and platters are great for serving sauces and breads and will help make the meal feel extra special. Check out the recipe from Pizza Express for their iconic dough balls here.
BBQ
The sun has already started to make an appearance. It’s great to get into the garden and have some fresh air.
Our cast iron can be used on the bbq and our stoneware is durable enough for outdoor dining, so no plastic plates are required.
One Pot Wonders
Gather your household around the table to enjoy a delicious casserole dish. A wholesome and comforting recipe, it’s also great for batch cooking and freezing.
