Strawberries, Cream and Pimms

Hurray everyone it's Wimbledon time!!

Here are a few of our favourite things we like to enjoy while watching our favourite players....

Strawberry Stem-Remover
Wimbledon would not be Wimbledon without strawberries and cream! Newly added to our website is the Chef'n Strawberry Stem-Remover. We have been testing it in the office today and can confirm it really works! Although maybe we should buy another punnet of strawberries just to make sure ;-)

10.5oz Flamengo Coupe Cup













Make your own fresh whipped cream with the iSi cream whipper, add a little vanilla syrup (or any other flavour you fancy) to make a really tasty treat. Pop your freshly hulled strawberries in the Flamengo Coupe Cup, squirt an unhealthy amount of fresh whipped cream on top and Voilà! Perfect tennis watching treat!



We spotted these incredible Pimms Pops drinks this week on twitter. A collaboration between Pure Pops and Pimms at Bondi Beach's Bucket List. If Australia is a little too far to find one of these how about creating your own?

Ice lolly mould, chunky tumblers, glass jugs and stripy straws

You will need some ice lolly makers, chunky tumblers, a jug full of Pimms and some retro stripy straws.

The recipe for these scrummy looking Pimms Pops lolly pops can be found here!


Happy tennis watching!! Who are your bets on this year?

Our favourite items this week are all things..... Falcon Enamelware

You cannot mistake Falcon Enamelware with it's classic white body and distinctive blue rim. From it's creation in the 1920's Falcon Enamelware and has always been a part of British home life, and it seems today it is as popular as ever with many items popping up in restaurants all over the UK. 

While treating ourselves to an Honest Burger last weekend we spotted the blue rim peeking out from underneath our juicy burger and home made rosemary chips.

And it's no wonder Falcon Enamelware is so popular, porcelain fused with heavy-gauge steel means it won't break if dropped, can be used on gas and electric hobs and is dishwasher and oven safe up to 530ºF / 270ºC.


We have also noticed our cocktails are no longer being served in tall elegant glasses but in these fun enamel mugs instead, full of crushed ice, mint sprigs and big chunky straws. If cocktails aren't your thing, how about serving your sweet potato fries in a mug instead?!

It seems like restaurants and bars aren't the only ones picking up on this trend, a lot of you have been recreating this retro style at home - here are some of our best sellers this week...

With Falcons new ranges in all sorts of colours, the possibilities are endless. We love this cactus idea!! Let us know what you like to serve in yours!
