THE ONLY KITCHEN TOOLS YOU NEED

Cookware in need of an update? Choose a capsule of classic pieces that are as beautiful as they are useful

If your kit is due an update, invest in quality items: think a sturdy griddle pan (don’t forget to season it before the first use); durable cast-aluminium casserole pot; and a versatile deep roasting pan. Our Tri-Ply skillet, meanwhile, boasts special non-stick technology: perfect for eggs and fish. A decent grater, measuring spoons and an apron are basics you’ll use time and again. We love this cute kids’ apron set for the holidays. And when it comes to serveware, pared-back designs – such as our brushed Manhattan cutlery and Palermo dining set – will still look on-trend for years to come.
