Kitchenware with Joseph Joseph & Gluten free muffins

I love my Joseph and Joseph mixing bowl and chopping board

I was recently sent an amazing colourful bowl nest and glass chopping board from the super stylish kitchenware brand Joseph Joseph who have some of the most stylish, innovative and well designed products for the kitchen. I have honestly never been so excited or impressed by mixing bowls but I love the small egg separator and metal ridge egg cracker on the side of the bowls and they are so easy to store and stack and the little man is totally taken with them swell.

We have been trying to inject pops of colour into our life and this is the perfect way of bringing some into the one room we spend nearly most of our time, the kitchen and we could not wait to cook up something fun with our bowl nest and decided to get with a little bit experimental with some Dairy and Gluten-free breakfast muffins.

So the little man pulled his chef hat our and apron ready for action, he has really become my little helper in the kitchen of late and the fresh smell of grated orange and carrots filled the kitchen.
