Christmas crackers from Jamie Oliver
The Jamie Oliver range of kitchen kit is bursting with ideas for festive feasting and gourmet gifts this Christmas. JAMIE’S FAVOURITES
Give herbs and spices a good bashing with this Granite Pestle & Mortar (from £15). Jamie loves throwing tons of flavour into his food and he wouldn’t be without this essential piece of kitchen clobber.
A real foodie favourite is the Mezzaluna & Acacia Wood Board (£15). If you’ve not used a mezzaluna before you’re in for a real treat. Two blades make it the king of knives and when it comes to chopping it’s easy to use and twice as quick.
Dress to impress with Jamie Oliver’s terrific Dressing Kit (£15) which includes two snazzy glass bottles filled with Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Modena Balsamic Vinegar. Stick in the pourers and pop the bottles on the table so guests can ‘dress themselves’! The wooden storage rack keeps everything tidy and makes a smart presentation if you’re giving the Dressing Kit as a gift for food lovers.
And don’t forget Jamie’s new 2009 Calendar (£8). Fab, full colour, fun photography and a new recipe every month, there’s also space to scribble your own notes. A neat gift to stuff in a stocking or give as a Secret Santa.
NEW NEWS
The Jamie Oliver Salt and Pepper Kilners (£5 each) do a great job in keeping salt and pepper fresh – and they look great. Use either the wooden scoop or get stuck in with your fingers. When the salt and pepper is finished, just fill up the attractive traditional re-usable jars – they’ll last for ages.
The Chalk & Cheese Set (£15) includes a slate cheese board, paring knife and chalk. Serve whichever cheeses you fancy – they’ll stay nice and cool on the slate – and then chalk in the cheese names so your guests know what they’re having. Every cheese lover will love you for this gift.
You may buy the Jamie Oliver Salt Pig and Scoop (£12) for a favourite foodie friend, but it may not make it to their Christmas stocking as you’ll want to keep this fun, but practical, little number for yourself. Salt gets used regularly to flavour food, so it’s just the perfect present.
For a terrific Secret Santa gift – pick up a Jamie Oliver Cheeky Apron (£12). It looks good and keeps your clothes clean while you get stuck in to some serious cooking.
Jamie says: “There’s certain kitchen stuff that you’ll reach for time and time again because it makes the job easier, helps create great results, or because it just looks nice! Some bits in my new range of Kitchen Kit are really fun – like the Salt Pig and others are a life saver – like the Pestle & Mortar. Get one now – for yourself or a friend - you’ll thank me for it, I promise.”
The Jamie Oliver Kitchen Kit range is available from Sainsbury’s, Boots, Fenwicks, Robert Dyas and Argos.
