Welcome to our website! We hope you will like it and find it different to any other cookshop site as it has been designed especially for YOU! We gave up on our e-commerce site as it did not do justice to our huge range of products and did not reflect what cooking fantastic was all about.

New_Logo

Instead, we have designed this site to be unique, like our shop and where you can find recipes, information, tips and ideas as well as products. And, of course, you can still purchase any of our products; all we ask is that you email or call us so we can ensure you get the right product at the right price. Your item will then be posted out to you on the same day.

Our mantra is Tried, Trusted, Tested – not only by ourselves, but by our suppliers and customers as well. We always listen to feedback and if we find a supplier is not living up to expectations, we will reconsider ordering from them in future, as we believe honesty is the best policy and trust has to be earned.

Good feedback is what we always strive for.

Tried, Tested, Trusted

People now travel from far and wide to visit the shop for its eclectic mix of cookware and gifts and, of course, the personal service they receive from Tanya and her staff.

Recipe for ELEPHANT STEW

~ 1 Elephant, Medium size

~ 2 rabbits (optional)

~ gravy

Cut elephant into bite size pieces and cover with gravy. 
Cook over kerosene fire for about 4 weeks at 465 degrees F. 

This elephant serves 3,800 adults and 35 children. 
If more are expected, two rabbits may be added. 
Do this only if absolute necessary, as most people do not like to find a hare in their stew.
