Chefs on Stage
British cooking brand Stoves has renewed its partnership with cookery theatre provider Chefs on Stage, which will see its appliances used at food and drink festivals across the UK throughout 2021. Stoves will provide built-in cookery appliances for the live cookery theatres at more than 40 of the biggest food and drink festivals in the country. The Stoves branded stages will feature live cook demonstrations from some of the UK’s best known celebrity chefs and bakers. Stoves will also be promoting the events throughout the year and supporting them with competitions to win tickets, pop-up activity at some shows and via social media. The chefs featuring at the events will also be providing recipes and content for the Stoves website. Nina Harrison, Kitchen Campaign Marketing Manager for Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, the parent company of Stoves, said: “As a nation, food and drink plays a huge role in how we spend our leisure time and these shows are phenomenally popular. Obviously none of the events took place in 2020 so there is likely to be even more demand for tickets this year, giving us a great platform to show off our Stoves products. And, as ever, we are excited to be working so closely with some of the nation’s best loved chefs.”

Pure Table Top has partnered with the iconic British institute to create an inspirational new series called Bloom. The collection – which launches in October – features eight mug designs along with placemats, coasters, tea towels and oven gloves. Proceeds from the collection directly support the vital plant science and conservation work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The collection’s illustrations have been selected from the botanical art library and archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew with Bloom showcasing the stunning beauty of botanist drawings with some dating back over 300 years. They have been reimagined and reproduced to create this distinctive collection. There are four designs in the collection: Midnight Floral, Floral Butterfly, Fruit & Floral and Bee Floral offering a range of colours to complement kitchen décor – dark navy, pale pink, duck egg blue, and sage green.
