As usual my Christmas wish list is all things foodie this year, with a couple of added extras to keep me feeling human. This year though, all I really wish for is for the world as a whole to show kindness and begin to heal, that would be a start.
Mockmill
I’m very concerned with diversifying my microbiome and am constantly looking for ways to introduce a range of prebiotic foods to support my microbiota. I would love a Mockmill to grind my own flour blends from heritage grains, herbs, spices and edible flowers. Baking would become even more of a joy than it already is.
The BBQ & Press Grill
Wow! This brings outdoor grilling inside at any time of year. If you are short on space, this flips open and has such a huge range of uses. It’s all touch activated with different setting so that everything you create comes out perfectly. I would also plump for the optional Waffle Plates with spillage moat because… Waffles!
Firetree Volcanic Chocolate
Made from cocoa beans grown on Volcanic Soil, this is quite probably the most decadent chocolate I have ever tasted. A square after dinner is the perfect way to finish a meal and I would love one of their selections to work my way through.
Steenbergs’ Organic Vanilla Extract
The intensity of this extract is just sublime. You only need a little to completely enhance your creations. It works so well in sweet and savoury dishes so I would love a little stash.
Thermapen Thermometer
This would take all the ambiguity out of perfectly cooked meats and sugar work. It comes with a handy guide to let you know what temperature is optimum.
Microplane
Having worked with these in restaurants, I can honestly say that they are unparalleled in attaining the maximum from citrus zests, spices and hard cheeses. Sharp and ever so fine, they are so handy and are nice and neat for storing.
Iranian Saffron
Made using traditional methods on single farms, they include a link to the farmer so that you know the exact provenance of your saffron. Its such a beautiful spice, but sadly, it is all too often substituted with unauthentic placebos, even in supermarkets! With this you are guaranteed quality.
Handmade Crockery
I’m obsessed with ceramics and these girls are so talented! You are assured every piece is unique, handmade and utterly divine.

Medik8 Skincare
During lockdown I took the bull by the horns and decided to really look after my skin. The difference has been phenomenal, thanks to these amazing products so I’d love to stock up.
Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner
I really want the supersize! Over time, this duo converts your hair to silky, shiny locks, I’m addicted, I just need the mega size to keep me going!
Fireside Flavours
A collection of winter warming recipes to keep you tingling from your tum to your toes. Yes, I did write it but yes, I wholly believe you need this in your life to spread joy, laughter and happiness. Plus 20% of all proceeds to go the Charity Mind.
