Throughout her successful career as a chef, broadcaster and author of four best selling cookery books, Rachel Allen has strived to create good, everyday food for real people - from accessible recipes to simple suppers and divine puddings. Rachel has used that very same approach in creating her home and kitchenware collection.
The collection includes dinner sets, glasses, serving dishes and linens in the finest materials. From salad bowls to serving dishes, Rachel says her aim has been to create stylish yet practical items for all households. The collection is both functional and fun, reflecting Rachel’s own love of everyday living.
"The concepts emanate firstly from practicalities that I look for in the kitchen," she explains. "Only then do you begin to perfect the design and look of the product."
