Roald Dahl BFG Footed Mug
Good coffee is even more
important when you’re in the
great outdoors. In fact, a lack
of it would constitute a survival
situation in our book. This dinky
gadget will make you espresso
from ground coffee and hot water.
You just give a few presses on the
pump to extract your coffee. And
why should hikers have all the fun
(and caffeine)? It will work in the
car or the office too.
Sadly this wasn’t invented because Heston doesn’t like
his trademark specs getting all steamed up. Instead, it
harnesses the cooking potential of steam much better
than a pan with a rattly lid. Featuring two saucepans,
you can cook smaller items like vegetables alongside
each other or use the large tray to cook a whole fish or
similar. A rapid start mode means you can be up and
steaming in 30 seconds, even quicker than Tina Turner,
who famously sang of her “Steamy Windows”.
Hahn DHO Chelsea Orange Kitchen Trolley
Harts Price: £250.00
If your kitchen needs some extra storage, this powder
coated steel trolley will provide it in some style on its
four swivel caster wheels. There are baskets for fruit
and veg, a draw for linens and a wine rack for four
bottles at the bottom. It wouldn’t look out of place in a
professional kitchen either.
RRP: £10.00
Harts Price: £ 9.00
We’re sure the BFG preferred
frobscottle to tea, but this fine bone
china mug is perfect for Dahl fans,
maybe with one of the writer’s beloved
chocolate bars on the side. It features
Quentin Blake’s peerless illustrations
including Sophie and the BFG
exploring, tiny dream jars around the
rim and the words ‘We Is In Giant
Country Now’ on the side.
Joseph Joseph CounterStore
RRP: £ 40.00
Harts Price: £ 36.00
We’re not sure even the combined organising power
of Joseph Joseph could sort our kitchen out after a big
cooking session, but we can try. This stores all your
kitchen kit together and is perfect if you have limited
space and are prone to swearing when you can’t find your
chopping board.
