THE COLLECTION IN FULL

You can be assured that The Claire Macdonald Essential Collection comes with Claire’s personal seal of approval. She uses items from the Essential Collection on a daily basis, both in her demonstrations and at home at Kinloch Lodge.

Everything Claire has chosen to be included in the Essential Collection is practical, from the simple Mortar and Pestle to the brilliant Pasta Timer that cooks in the pan with your pasta – and changes colour to tell you when the pasta is cooked! The Essential Collection is also stylish enough to grace even a non-cook’s kitchen.

And if you wonder why there are so many Rösle products in it, it’s because Claire believes that they are simply the best-quality products that no kitchen should be without!
