Who doesn’t like a bit of chocolate? Well, I know I certainly love a good chocolate bar, and trust me – it doesn’t get better than this one! Yes, these fabulous bars from Jamie Oliver will not only put a smile on his or her face, but will deliver a message as well!
These bars have been made to really make a statement so you might not even need a card this Valentine’s Day!!! Yes, pop a bar into the post and let Mr Postie deliver it to your chosen lady/man and sign it off from their secret admirer – now, that I like the sound of! With statements such as ‘Big Love’ and ‘Smooth Operator’, sending the right message is easy!
Jamie Oliver’s Chocolate Bars are all organic, fair-trade and incredibly delicious! All have different flavours which are utterly mouth-watering! If you’re a lover of Dark Chocolate, the ‘Light My Fire’ is the one for you! This is a rich dark chocolate with spiced with warming ginger and orange. Simply eat it as it is, or add to a homemade pudding for zingy chocolate flavour – yummy!
Each bar will only set you back £2.00, so it’s well affordable for all. They are available to buy in Debenhams and from http://www.jamieoliver.com where you can also check out further stockists.
Thank you Jamie, I’m sure you will make many a person happy this Valentine’s Day.
I was sent the most stunning new cookbook for men, ‘How to feed a man’ is packed full of beautiful images, poetry and some fantastic recipes.
Created by Stasha Palos, an artist and food lover who has given us a collection of visual feasts. This is the best looking cook book I have seen for some time. But, it is so much more than a cook book.
It’s a collection of wonderful images, beautiful thoughts and poetry. Stasha has clearly put her heart into this and the result is you almost feel like she has become a friend.
It is so sweetly personal, the book feels like reading a diary! ‘How to feed a man’ is a book of pleasure and enjoyment, which you will keep coming back to.
The foreword by Marco Pierre White sums it up really well – ‘Firstly, the sexiest cookery book I have ever cast my eyes over…’ and ‘A book in my opinion, constructed by a proper woman who knows how to capture her man’s imagination’.
This would make a wonderful gift, you can buy it online for £19.99 (just click the link).
Stasha has also turned her creative talents to a range of T shirts, which have already been seen on Tess Daly, Vernon Kay and Simon Cowell. These are also available to buy from Stasha’s website at £15.
Featuring bold slogans, these retro chic T shirts are selling out fast.
So refreshing to see a book produced from love rather than something designed to be a mass seller. ‘How to feed a man’ is simply a stunning new lifestyle cookbook. Every kitchen / coffee table should have one.
I review OXO quite regularly, and have never been let down by any of their products. As all are designed to make everyday living that little bit easier, the award winning
OXO Good Grips range offers over 200 stylish, yet practical tools for the home including kitchenware, organisational tools, bathroom and cleaning products.
I am so pleased to be sharing a couple of kitchen tools that will without a doubt help everyone with the Christmas Turkey this year! Whether it’s your first attempt at Christmas dinner or you’re a natural at cooking, OXO’s festive-themed kitchen tools are packed with clever hidden features bound to make any Scrooge smile.
I absolutely love the Gravy/fat separator! What a fabulous and clever tool it is! We all know that Christmas dinner wouldn’t be the same without lashings of delicious gravy. Taking the juice from your meat and using that as your gravy base in truly mouth-watering. Now, with OXO’s ingenious gravy/fat separator you can cut the unwanted fat which just greases your gravy but still keep all the goodness of a beautiful stock. Simply pour the gravy into the container and watch the fat rise and stay at the top while lean gravy settles at the bottom. Complete with strainer and stopper, the gravy/fat separator also features convenient measurement markings, while OXO’s soft trademark grip handle adds comfort and ensures a firm hold. Coming in two sizes, no matter how large your family is, there will always be enough gravy to go around! The 2 cup jug costs £10.21, and the 4 cup costs £13.28.
OXO’s Oven Thermometer could also be very useful! You can now cook up your festive feast with confidence using this clever little oven thermometer. It features large easy to read numbers and a non-slip heat resistant ring for easy handling on the shelves. The unique clip can either hang from or stand on the oven shelf, and won’t fall off while in use. Ingenious at £11.23!
The Instant read thermometer will ensure that your Christmas turkey is cooked all the way through, whilst remaining succulent and moist. With an angled face, extra large numbers and a non-slip silicone ring, this should be a little kitchen gadget that everyone should have this Christmas. There are also recommended cooking temperatures on the body of the storage sleeve which is very helpful indeed! It costs a very well spent £10.21.
The OXO range is widely available from a selection of national retailers. For stockist details visit http://www.oxouk.com or call 0114 290 1455.
