THE BEST HOLIDAY DINNERWARE

Cooking up a storm this festive season? Choose classic pieces that are as beautiful as they are useful

If your kitchen kit is due an update, invest in quality cookware: think a sturdy griddle pan (don’t forget to season it before the first use); a durable cast-aluminium casserole pot; and a versatile deep roasting pan. Our Tri-Ply range, meanwhile, boasts special non-stick technology, making it perfect for eggs and fish. A decent grater, measuring spoons and an apron are basics you’ll use time and again. When it comes to cutlery and serveware, pared-back designs will look on-trend for years to come, while printed dinnerware will give a festive feel to every celebration.
