Zyliss - Award Winning Tomato Peeler

-
Image
As anyone who has ever plunged their hand into a bowl of boiling water will testify the prospect of peeling a tomato is quite frankly unappealing. Thanks to the Swiss design company Zyliss, there is now more than one way to skin a tomato. No more vats of hot water and soggy fruit. Zyliss the Swiss uber-design company has come up with the Tomato Peeler. The Tomato Peeler’s multi-purpose serrated edges quickly peel fruits and vegetables, even difficult soft-skinned produce. It is great for ginger, leaving more of the root intact which is not possible with a knife. Its two edged blade permits back and forth peeling and making it equally practical for right or left-handed use. An extra sharp steel tip easily removes produce blemishes. Finally its ergonomic, generous sized handle makes it much more comfortable to hold than traditional metal peelers and is great for people with a weaker grip.  £7.25 from Roullier White.

The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui...

Natural Anti Mosquito Protection

Along with the summer sun comes the nasty bugs that bite. Most popular and effective insect repellent sprays contain terribly toxic chemicals and smell awful, enough to repulse even the most ardent admirer as well as the intended pests. Thank heavens then for Mrs White’s Unstung Hero™; an all natural anti-mosquito repellent with a revolutionary formula which combines a fragrant, fresh Eau de Cologne and an ingredient that renders you 'invisible' to mosquitoes, ticks, black fly, wasps and bees. The Eau de Cologne's uplifting lemon tea fragrance is suitable for men and women, with subtle notes of tea infused with fresh citrus. In fact you can wear it as a fragrance without anyone knowing you are wearing anti-mosquito protection and you will be complimented on your cologne! So you smell wonderful, but not quite good enough to eat! The 250 ml bottle means there is ample cologne to spritz on bedding and pillows as well as yourself and your clothes, and being non-oi...
