What’s Cooking?
IN COLOURS AND PATTERNS? Four different retailers reveal bestselling housewares that are colourful or patterned. Caroline Gregory, owner, Cookmate Worcester Full of aspirational and functional cookware, it’s been said that if it’s not sold in Cookmate then it’s not worth having! The Cookmate Cookery School is above the shop.
Garlic Twist from Fosseway Trading
This sells all year as it is simply a great gadget.
Swiss Peeler from Kuhn Rikon
An absolute staple that is a bestseller by volume and takings. It comes in bright and ‘jelly’ colours and all sell well.
Napkins from Ambiente
We stock a wide variety and, in the run up to Christmas, we have themed each side of our spinner with a different colour scheme.
Renshaw Icing from Culpitt
Culpitt is one of our biggest suppliers with a delivery every week – we sell huge volumes of coloured icing.
Terraillon Macaron Kitchen Scale
These colourful electronic scales look good and are great quality. We have been selling them on a promotion, which has done really well. With a mix of designs, these last a long time and can be put in the washing machine or dishwasher. People recommend them to their friends.

Mills and Stoneware from Le Creuset
Customers are coming back to buy more of these brightly coloured mugs and stoneware as word has got round that we are stockists. We have also had a good offer on the lovely coloured mills.
Turtle Grater from Eddingtons
This looks fun – it’s a nice gift and (at this time of year) stocking filler.

We have a wide collection of colourful cookie cutter including all sorts of shapes from pineapples to lions, and from dragonflies to dog bones.
