My write-up for Lakeland
comes to you a bit delayed, but for a store as impressive as Lakeland, better
late than never. I’m a home cook who loves to try new recipes. The more complex
the recipe, the happier I am to try it. Knowing my passion for kitchen knives
and all things culinary, a friend at a food forum on Facebook asked me if I
had visited the newly opened Lakeland. I told him I hadn’t, and forgot all
about the incident. A week later, on a visit to Phoenix Market City, I happened
to pass the very store and I couldn’t resist the urge to peek in and check out
the shelves. I ended up buying some lovely silicon basting brushes which had
been on my ‘to-buy’ list for ever so long. Little did I know that a month later
I would be invited by Roxanne Bamboat (The Tiny Taster) to the official launch
of this very store.

Lakeland is a U.K based
company that specializes in premium quality bake ware and cooking equipment. The
store is a treasure trove of gadgets that make working in the kitchen that much
more pleasurable. Egg poachers, salt, pepper and spice mills, chopping boards, glass
jars, baking and roasting trays, recipe books, colorful tagines, chocolate
molds, deco spoons, kitchen thermometers, waffle makers, sandwich makers,
mixers, pasta makers, grinders, whisks and much more, are all available here.
They
stock both, small and big kitchen items, which are of utmost help in the
kitchen and makes your time in the kitchen easy, and an absolute pleasure. They
have electric cake pop and cupcake makers which enable you make the items
without the use of an oven. The mini candy floss machine was an absolute
delight and most of us tried our hand at making candy floss. Parents, your kids
are going to love having this at their next birthday party. Take my word for
it!
Also at the launch was Chef
Shahzad Variava (Dessert King) of Master Chef India, Season 2. He is patience
and humility personified. He gave us a demo for icing and decorating cupcakes
and cake pops. We all happily tried our hand at it and munched on the goodies
we decorated.

Lakeland also carries a superb
collection of kitchen knives and knife sets. It is a well known brand name
which is why their products aren’t cheap but they aren’t unaffordable either. If
cooking and baking is something that piques your interest then this is the
store for you. It’s a store where there’s something for everyone. As a home
cook and a hardcore food blogger I plan to return to this place time and time
again for their goodies.
