A cut above

Global chef’s knives have always been known and loved for their quality and more than anything their sharp edge. The secret is in the metal used to craft the knife (and more importantly, the blade).
Global knives are known for their hard steel alloys. This makes for a blade that is slightly more difficult to sharpen, […]

Textiles can make a huge impact

Picture from Ikea
If there’s one thing I love, that’s good table linens. There’s nothing quite like setting the table with great table linens and enjoying how much they can add to the simple act of dining.

More from Gorenje (and Kevin at Renomart)

Ok, I just saw this over on Kevin’s kitchen design website (Renomart.com.au) and since I’m basically stealing his post I figured I’d give him a free plug so he doesn’t get mad at me!
As you can see, Gorenje has really kicked their design dept into high gear with this Ora-Ito modular kitchen! […]

Picture “borrowed” from Gorenje.co.uk
Strange name? Maybe so but their appliances are nice.
