Let me introduce you to the best fashion aprons for women, the fabulous Cooking Gorgeous.  They provide you with an outstanding selection of everyday aprons and accessories using natural fabrics and creative innovations. 

These fashion aprons for women will make a fantastic gift for cooking enthusiasts and would even be a perfect little treat for you!

They say:-

“All Cooking Gorgeous creations start life at the kitchen table. We design, try, test and rework until we’re ready to turn ideas into everyday indulgences.  Whether you like to cook everyday, throw fabulous dinner parties or light the BBQ once in a while, we’ve something for the occasion. Cooking Gorgeous. Beautiful things that work!”
Their range of fashion aprons really are ‘gorgeous’, and they allow you to look good whatever you are cooking!  The apron is basically a simple and practical invention to keep you clean while you work. 

Now they have come back to the modern day with storm, thanks to Cooking Gorgeous.  Their aprons are smart, sexy, grown-up, and all with a gorgeous twist.  With ranges for women as well as men and children, Cooking Gorgeous aprons are made with high quality natural fabrics so they are hard working, practical garments yet feel good to the touch.

I love ‘The Mini-pinny’!  This apron comes in denim (which looks fabulous) or linen.  It is just as short, fun and sexy as it is hard working.  This stylish and modern apron will look good when partaking in any messy work, be it with the children or in the garden!  The Denim Mini-Pinny costs £19.99.

I also adore ‘The Bottom-line’!  With pretty adjustable neck ties and a richly coloured contrasting trim, you will be sure to look stunning in the kitchen.  Made from 100% cotton, this is designed to fit great, flatter and protect.  Fashion aprons for women do not get better than the Bottom Line which comes in blue or pink, suiting any ladies preference.  What I love about this one is that it’s available for little girls too!  Yes, your little princess can now be a real min-you in the kitchen.  The Bottom Line for women costs £31.99.

Cooking gorgeous has also a selection of accessories that work just as hard and look just as good.  Things like the Chef’s Cloth and the clever little Toggle On kitchen cloths that attach to the aprons are a perfect accompanying gift to the aprons.

Also available are Cooking Gorgeous range of Tea Towels.  With discreet designs and of a generous size, these are beautiful tea towels that work!  Check out the Linen Union Tea-Towel (£7.99).  This is a classic tea-towel with a natural thirst for water - perfect for drying your dishes and polishing your wine glasses.  The quality of this speaks of itself, and they are (for a tea towel), simply gorgeous!

Toblerone is a chocolate that has been around for over a Century.  And, it is still a world famous chocolate bar giving us wonderful triangles of scrumptious chocolate.  They are great at any time throughout the year, but are even better at Christmas time making fantastic stocking fillers for all!

This year Toblerone has released two yummy Christmas bars which are both under £5.  This is what makes them so appealing for the younger generation or for those on a budget.

This Christmas Toblerone, the extra-ordinary Swiss chocolate, comes in a limited edition Christmas cracker style sleeve, making it the ultimate chocolate-lovers stocking filler!  It will be perfect as a gift for friends and relatives of all ages.  The Toblerone Cracker bar is also ideal for sharing with the family whilst watching warming Christmas films.

What’s more, in anticipation of a white Christmas Toblerone is proud to introduce Snow Top – a quirky new 100g bar which plays homage to Switzerland, the mountainous homeland of Toblerone!  It looks fab!  New Snow Top offers Toblerone fans an irresistible combination – delicious triangular peaks of Swiss milk chocolate infused with honey and almond nougat topped with creamy white chocolate – yummie.  Perfect for those who love both varieties – Snow Top combines the best of both for milk and white chocolate lovers.  The 100g Snow Top Toblerone is currently available exclusively in Asda stores for around a tiny £1.22.

Now, with thanks to Kelly’s of Cornwall, you can indulge in delicious ice-cream infused with Brandy Butter.  Oh yes, you heard that right and I can guarantee that it is incredibly mouth-watering!

This ice cream combines Cornish clotted cream, Cornish whole milk, butter and 12-year-old brandy.  And cleverly it is still light and delicate on the palate – the perfect partner to rich fruity puddings and pies.  Put a huge scoop of it on top of delicious hot and steaming mince pies, or Nan’s homemade Christmas pudding – mmmm, it tastes so good!

You simply won’t be able to resist this Brandy Butter Ice-Cream, so you might as well say goodbye to any diet for a day – you won’t regret it though!

Kelly’s of Cornwall ice cream is the only genuine Cornish ice cream available nationwide – and that means it’s made in Cornwall with Cornish clotted cream and Cornish whole milk.

New Kelly’s of Cornwall Clotted Cream & Brandy Butter Ice Cream is available in selected supermarkets nationwide.  It costs £3.99 for a 1-litre tub.

The UK’s leading gluten-free food manufacturer, Genius Foods, has launched an extremely tasty Gluten Free Mince Pie in time for Christmas.  This is aimed to help people who have to cut down on gluten enjoy the festive season too!

Genius Foods, which already makes bread, bakery products and pies, has blended the delicious taste of a traditional mince pie filling and encased it in a light but crisp gluten-free pastry. The end result is a mouth watering scrumptious mince pie which could well be the best mince pie you have ever tasted!

Coming in a pack of 4, these mince pies are wrapped in a delicious shortcrust pastry, and are filled with juicy sultanas, currants and raisins. All you have to do is simply remove the packaging, place in the oven to heat through for 8-10 minutes, and enjoy!  You may have to purchase a few boxes though, as there might not be any left for Christmas guests after you eat them all!

Genious Foods Mince Pies are wonderful as a pre-dinner canapé, paired with mulled wine or just to indulge on your own this Christmas.

As the saying goes: the proof is in the pudding!  To get your hand on these ultimate pies, they are being stocked at Tesco.  Or to check out your nearest stockist, please visit http://www.geniusfoods.com.

Gurpareet Bains created and produced the ‘Worlds Healthiest Meal’ in 2009, and immediately hit the international spotlight.  This was a simple Chicken Curry with Blueberries and Goji Berry Pilau, all of which contained the antioxidant-equivalent of 23 bunches of grapes – this is definitely one to try!  And now, just in time for Christmas, he has published his debut recipe book - Indian Superfood.  Already a no.1 bestseller, this recipe book is guaranteed to make a fantastic gift for all foodie enthusiasts.

He has used information, researched from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), finding that nearly ¼ of the top antioxidant-rich foods available to us are, in fact, spices. He combines these spices in abundance with nutrient-dense vegetables, fruits, low-fat proteins and nuts – widely known as superfoods – to create Indian Superfood, a collection of the world’s most antioxidising recipes.

It’s no surprising that Gurpareet has a hug celebrity fan base, including Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Goldie Hawn, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Chris Evans and many more.  His food is delicious, beautiful, has an incredible flare and makes you feel good! 

With 216 pages in this recipe book Indian Superfood, there are plenty of recipes to tantalise your taste buds.  There are 7 sections in total, giving you ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, side dishes, light bites, cocktails and refreshments and of course sweets.  The recipes are fairly easy to follow and you honestly don’t have to be a master chef to accomplish the perfect dish.

If I was to use Gurpareet’s recipes throughout the day, here would be a menu of my choice:-

Breakfast – Ginger-infused yogurt with honey and pomegranate.
Lunch – Salmon and sweet potato fishcakes.
Dinner – Best ever chicken tikka masala, with a side of foolproof pilau and naan.
Dessert – Indian spotted dick with goji berries and toasted almonds.

Mmmmmm, I’m hungry after just writing that!  His work is astounding, and knowing that you get nothing but good from eating Indian Food is amazing!  As Gurpareet Bain says – “Superfood + Superspices = Indian Superfood”!

You can purchase this wonderful book from Amazon for only £9.09 – click HERE for more details.
