St Andrews Shop
This week the Open Golf Championship is at the home of golf, so we thought it would be appropriate to mention our St Andrews Shop. The shop is in the heart of St Andrews, in the middle of Church Street, which is situated between Market Street and South Street. You shouldn’t miss it – the shop is always sporting some colourful displays in the window, something the industry has recognised, as the shop won the Independent Category at last year’s Excellence in Housewares Awards. The current display shows a few of the attractions of St Andrews, ‘the home of…’ with Old Tom Morris (pictured) highlighting the connection to golf. You can see some of the previous displays below, with themes of Weddings, Father’s Day, National Honey Week and Halloween, promoting a wide selection of products, including Le Creuset cookware, Dualit toasters and KitchenAid mixers.
Nina and her team are our Pots and Pans experts there, so feel free to quiz them on what products will fit your needs. If you can’t make it to the shop, please visit our online cookshop where you can get the latest kitchen and dining products delivered straight to your door.
TV and Cookware
One thing I’ve never understood…. how do TV chefs influence the general public so much with the gadgets and pots and pans that they use? Take Delia Smith for example, our sales of the Kenwood CH180 Mini Choppers went through the roof when she used it once on a show. Simple Suppers love their Le Creuset items, as does Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, and he also has his KitchenAid Blender on hand. Raymond Blanc has his own line of cookware (even if on TV he dissed his own whisk when it wouldn’t sit across the pan, then realised it was his own brand!). Something for the Weekend have shelves filled with gadgets that I’ve never seen them use, such as the Henckels Twin Pollux knife stand, however the Great British Menu competitors seem to like (and use) their Henckels Twin Cuisine Oval Knife Blocks, and I’ve seen them using Circulon (my favorite pan by far) on the show. Jamie Oliver has his own brand of pans, tools, knives and small electricals, which sell very, very well. James Martin cannot be far behind him – his range includes collaborations with Denby, the famous tableware manufacturer. Is it the chef name that does it? The fact the chef has used it? Or the quality of the items? I’m never too sure what leads the purchase…
Le Creuset Cassis
Pots and Pans have taken delivery of the latest cookware from our most popular brand: Le Creuset Cassis. Juicy ripe berry shades look so tempting in any recipe – it’s little wonder Le Creuset created Cassis! From vibrant plums to vivid violets, purple shades create a warm, sumptuous look and feel in the home. Le Creuset Cassis brings to the kitchen a deep delicious purple that will appeal to those wanting to make a bold style statement. The cast iron collection includes round casseroles, shallow casseroles, plus a square grillit. The stoneware collection features rectangular dishes, fluted flan, a pair of ramekins, petite casserole, utensil jar and mug. Le Creuset’s luscious-looking Cassis shade will inspire you to cook with a whole host of purple hued ingredients, from aubergines and artichokes to grapes, plums, and every imaginable berry, you’ll covet Cassis for your kitchen!
