Oils - beyond cooking

A high-quality oil makes an ideal Christmas gift for a chef, adding rich flavour and elegance to their dishes. Versatile and luxurious, oils like truffle, olive, or nut can elevate salads, marinades, and cooked meals. This thoughtful gift celebrates the chef’s craft, inspiring creativity in the kitchen.

The Fellow Kettle


A perfect gift for a chef, bringing style, precision, and efficiency to their kitchen. Known for its sleek design and ergonomic handle, this kettle combines beauty with functionality, making it ideal for everything from coffee and tea brewing to precise temperature control in cooking. Its variable temperature settings allow chefs to heat water to the exact degree, which is crucial for delicate recipes or perfect pour-overs. 


The gooseneck spout ensures a controlled, steady pour, giving chefs the precision they crave. Elegant and high-performance, the Fellow kettle is a thoughtful, refined gift that elevates both the kitchen’s aesthetic and the chef's craft.

Bone Broth


Bone broth is a thoughtful Christmas gift for a chef, offering rich flavor and nutrition that can enhance soups, sauces, and risottos. With its deep, savory profile, quality bone broth adds complexity to dishes and saves time in the kitchen, making it a practical yet gourmet gift choice.

Stay Salty...

A high-quality salt makes a fantastic Christmas gift for a chef, bringing out the flavours in dishes with precision and depth. Unique salts— smoked varieties, or Himalayan pink salt—add a special touch to cooking, offering varied textures and subtle flavour notes. Salt is both essential and versatile, and a unique selection shows thoughtfulness, providing the chef with new ways to enhance and finish their creations beautifully.

Condiments and perfect pairings

Avocado mayonnaise makes a wonderful gift for a chef, combining the rich creaminess of traditional mayo with the smooth, nutty taste and health benefits of avocado. Unlike regular mayonnaise, avocado mayo is packed with heart-healthy fats and a dose of antioxidants, adding a nutritious twist to sandwiches, sauces, and dressings. 


Its unique flavour profile brings depth to dishes without overpowering other ingredients, and it’s versatile enough to use in anything from spreads to marinades. For the chef looking to experiment with healthier alternatives without sacrificing taste, avocado mayonnaise is both a practical and delicious addition to their kitchen.
