Thursday, October 27th, 2011
"Rosie Lee" from our exclusive limited edition range
We have extended our 10% off offer until midnight on Tuesday 1st November due to a number of requests because many people get paid on the first of the month and we hadn’t considered this, doh! Don’t forget that this offer includes our sale items so you can grab yourself some great Christmas gifts at bargain prices.
When it gets to this time of year I have to admit to having a bit of a panic as it occurs to me that it will be November next week and I haven’t done any Christmas gift shopping! So to celebrate Halloween and help you with your gift budget we’re offering a 10% discount on all your purchases from Kiss The Cook! From now until midnight on Monday 31st October Tuesday 1st November, you can save 10% on every item you buy on the website. All you need to do is type 10%OFF in the “Promotional Code” box in your shopping basket and the discount will be applied automatically* – please ensure there are no spaces between the characters.
So shop early and avoid delivery delays** (we all remember the bad weather last Christmas!). Choose from the wide range of aprons, chefs’ jackets and other goodies available on our site and all made in Great Britain. Many of our items can be personalised too, so they make superb gifts.
Remember, Kiss The Cook products are not available on the high street, they can only be purchased from our on-line store. Delivery costs from £2.95 – some high street car parks charge this, and more, for parking your car for an hour. See full shipping details here. (We also despatch worldwide too.)
*Sorry, we cannot make refunds if you forget to use the code, so ensure you add it when you have filled your shopping basket.
**We expect a high demand for this offer so please allow up to 10 working days for us to despatch your order – if you need your goods quickly please send us an email as soon as your order has been confirmed and we’ll let you know if we can meet your deadline.

We have a winner!
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011I am pleased to tell you that we have chosen a winner for our May Giveaway. I was drinking a cup of tea when I read this comment – big mistake – as I managed to almost choke with laughter…
The winner is Susie and this is what she said “We went for dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Halfway through the meal and everything was going great. Except I didn’t realise that my chunky bracelet had caught itself on the handle of a serving bowl. I made a sweeping gesture and catapulted a whole dish of sweet and sour across the neighbouring table and its diners. I have never been so embarrassed and I have never been back, which is a pity as it is a really good restaurant.”
We have contacted Susie and are waiting for her details to send her apron to her.
Watch out for a new giveaway to be announced shortly!
Apron Giveaway!

I like to think that the Duchess of Cambridge might be wearing one of our aprons while she’s cooking a romantic dinner for her new hubby. Scrolling through our ladies’ aprons I decided that this one was the most appropriate given that she is required to keep calm at all times!
We have one of these adult size aprons to give away if you can leave a comment telling us what your first meal together or your newly wedded meal consisted of and if it was a success or a disaster. I’ll choose the one that makes me laugh most by the end of May…
My Mum & Dad were married just after WWII (while there was still a fair amount of rationing). The day after they were married, he went back to work and she prepared her first meal for him. Unbeknown to her, he had received a wedding gift of a sack of seed potatoes for planting and – yes – you guessed it – she cooked them!
There were no ill-effects and they remained married for ever. Dad grew all our vegetables and never again kept his seed potatoes in the house…
If you can’t wait until the end of the month to find out if you’ve won, you can purchase this apron here (we’ve enlarged the design to make it easier to cut around all those scrolls in the crown…).
August Freebie!

A question of likes…

My mother-in-law has been staying with us while in the middle of a house move. The day after we had had roast lamb for dinner, we got around to talking about mint. She said she always had fresh mint jelly with lamb and fresh mint with new potatoes and fresh peas – more or less what we had eaten for dinner the previous evening. Except for one vital ingredient. The mint.
There are just a couple of things that I will never eat and unfortunately one of them is mint. I won’t even have a jar of the disgusting mint jelly in the kitchen cupboard, ready to present in a little bowl for discerning diners. No, no, no.
No one can convince me how the overpowering taste of mint will add to a gorgeous roast leg of lamb. Obviously, my husband has been missing out on this delicacy for many years and, wonder of wonders, he’s never complained… Too late now mate, don’t even think about it!
For lots of lamb recipes with or without mint, have a browse through the BBC’s recipe finder here, you’re bound to find one you like.
Another dislike, and mint related too, is chocolate with mint. I totally blame the makers of “After Eights” for this (Rowntree until purchased by Nestle) and – horror of horrors – more than a billion of these are made annually! I once came across a recipe for barbecued bananas involving “After Eights” – all you had to do was split the banana lengthwise (still in its skin), open up slightly and insert After Eights, wrap in tin foil and place on the barbecue for about 10 minutes. Voila, you now have a simple dessert of mint chocolate banana, I suppose you could serve it with mint ice cream. Eh, no, not for me, thank you!
Let me know if you have any particular dislikes? Have a good weekend and remember that today’s the last day to sign up for the Kiss The Cook newsletter and a chance to win the lovely apron shown in my previous post.
Want one of these?
