Our Christmas Cooking Treasure Chest is full of Festive Cheer and good wishes for a hearty Christmas meal!  It includes items you'll need for the main meal, be it duck fat potatoes or a chestnut stuffing, and essentials for dessert! Pudding Utensils for that perfect plum pud, and a range of glace fruits to sit atop your Christmas Cake.   

[Please note our glace fruits offered in this pack will change (and therefore so will the price) with availability.  Check the website for the current description of the glace fruits included.  Currently the pack features Glace Amareno Cherries & Glace Clementines.]

Each of our treasure chests have been selected with care and come gift wrapped (some of the larger items will be packaged separately though).  And of course, all the items are still available separately!

Every patisserie and dessert fan will appreciate the items in our Baking Treasure Chest.  This pack contains those specialist products almost exclusive to pastry cooks such as Glycerine for DIY fondant, Dutch Cocoa for that ultimate chocolately taste, and Baking Weights to help ensure truly perfect pastry.  Bakers are best at folding and beating, but we never fold and we're never beaten!

Develop your meat cooking skills and impress at the BBQ or carvery!  This pack incorporates a range of hard-to-find items for the meat lover in the kitchen; give your meat that husky smoked flavour with our popular Red Meat Woodchips, flavour it with Veal Stock or Goose Fat, test it with our specialist Meat Thermometer and add an extra dazzle with our Black Salt.  A great present for any home cook, but a special one for father's day or the bloke who loves to turn a tong.

For the brave home chef, this starter Molecular Gastronomy pack combines all the specialist products necessary to have a go at some of the 'cookistry' elements.  Sodium Alginate and Calcium Chloride, with the help of the Pipette, will enable creation of "caviar" or "noodles" (which are nothing like their tradition namesakes!) in spherification.  Popping Candy is far and away our most popular seller and guaranteed to be a hit (literally!), while the Digital Scales (not pictured) are a specialist and sought after utensil required for measuring the miniscule amounts needed for this type of fine cooking.

Our Moroccan Treasure Chest celebrates the beautiful flavours of this popular cuisine.  The spice range, Za'atar, Sumac and Ras El Hanout (not pictured) will bring authenticity to your tagines and meats, and our classic Preserved Lemons will bring their distinctive vibe.  Our Harissa paste is a very popular seller at Goldmine Central for good reason (prepare your socks to be knocked off!) and Pomegranate Molasses is the Moroccan hard-to-find ingredient of which we are most proud.  It is versatile and tasty, savoury or sweet - enjoy!
