Bon appétit!
IT’S true what the song says, you’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties... and pretty much any other time of the day! Since moving house, my current obsession is with stylish kitchen accessories and gadgets to adorn my worktops. From the incredibly useful to the sheer delightful, here’s a selection of Irishmade culinary creations I’ve come across in my search. These would make perfect gifts for the foodie in your life — even if that happens to be you. Better get cooking something fabulous to show them off!
