Zyliss World Food Festival Kitchen Products

I'm on a few product review sites, one of which is The Insiders. When they offered me a Zyliss kitchen goodie bundle at a crazy reduced price there was no way I was going to say no.
They sent a haul of goodies and I've now been using them for about a month.
Conclusion: I love them!

My favourites from opening the box were the knives and the pans.

I'm not sure I've ever had a really good set of knives and these are amazing, they came in an awesome knife block which sits proudly on my kitchen side and they are so sharp. I've never come across a sharp bread knife before so thought nothing of cutting a scone towards by hand until I found 2 very straight cuts on my palm where the teeth of the knife had sliced my skin, I hadn't even noticed it happen!

The pans look like stoneware, work on all hobs (including induction) and really are non-stick. I have bought so many pans over the last 10 years which claimed to be non-stick which would be ruined within a month but I can't see that happening this time, especially with a 10 year guarantee. Plus essentially for me they are dishwasher safe, in my house if it's not dishwasher safe it's not going to get used (with the exception of the soup maker). 

I used the Zyliss Zick-Zick Classic Food Chopper today for the first time when making spaghetti bolognese with Roo (now 4), after I made the first couple of presses she was able to do the rest and finely chop our mushrooms and onions. After Roo and I used this with so much ease I immediately recommended it to my favourite girls in the Fibro & Pain Pals Facebook group, so many of them suffer with small movements and chopping veg is one of the worst culprits, I think this could help them out and I was happy to let them know. 

Another tool we've had a lot of use out of so far is the Smoothglide Dual Grater. There's not a huge amount I can say about this because at the end of the day, it's a grater, it grates. My husband things the cheese looks "fancy" when it's been grated with this because it curls slightly, but I think that's just odd. One good thing about it is it's much smaller than a traditional grater and in our teeny kitchen anything which saves space is appreciated. 

I will come back with more to say on other things soon, I just want to make sure I give everything a fair go before giving an opinion. Just because I got it cheap doesn't mean I'm going to be positive 100% of the time.

I received the products at a heavily discounted price from Zyliss via the Insiders but all views are my own.

My truths about Self Employment

These days it seems self employment is becoming more and more common with the rise of online selling abilities, rep businesses and the 'Boss Babe' movement. I'm all for anything which makes people feel more empowered and able to handle their own business, no matter what size. I've been in this game for 6.5 years now, although much more so in the last 2 or 3 and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and experiences on self employment. These are personal to me, relate to my business (small printing & craft business) and life, and are unfiltered, you may not agree with them but that's okay you don't need to. Do not expect help and advice; but don't assume people won't offer There is no sick pay or sick leave, if you aren't working, you aren't earning Not all businesses are the same, don't tell people how to run theirs It's okay to be jealous, just don't let it effect how you work 2 similar businesses do not have to b

I've decided every Friday I will talk about some of my favourite small businesses which I have been enjoying that week. As this is the first week it will be slightly larger and will include a few of my favourite businesses. Scarborough Scribbles etc Scarborough Scribbles is the creation of the amazing Jenny. Everything is designed from her own imagination and is the put onto a hand drawing, digital design, cross stitch, clay model or more. Jenny is incredibly talented and incredibly humble. In the last 6 months I've had several items from her including a hand painted card, a digital design for a get well card and I'm getting a keyring soon which I will share a picture when I receive it. Scribbles is still a fairly new business so stop by, check it out and maybe have a little shop. If you don't see what you want drop her a message, tell her Mummy&Roo sent you. www.facebook.com/scarboroughscribbles  Loonicorn Loonicorn is the brilliant shop run by the even

Fat to... Fit? Less fat?

So I've joined the gym, again! I'm not on some insane health binge, it's not a resolution, it's not a sudden change. There's 2 reasons I've joined: 1) I am fat and unhealthy 2) I need something for me! Without a child in tow Mostly it's number 2, it's certainly the reason why now! I've been fat and unhealthy for years. I am not a gym bunny, I will not become a gym bunny. But I do sometimes enjoy the gym, it's a good way to work out the stress of life and it gives me some time alone. I'll be blogging here about my progress and any effects it's having. I am going to weigh myself but this isn't an attempt at weight loss, I don't care what the scales say I care about how I feel. I've taken before photos which there's no way I'm sharing now but maybe later. I'm going to post day 1 as a separate blog though so you can appreciate my first time back in a gym since 2013 in all its glory.
