Pancake day 2026

Ahead of Pancake Day 2026, we’re looking at flipping good pans, buying tips for small countertop appliances, and chic baking essentials for a delicious celebration…

Which delectable treat tickles your taste buds?

Well, if your mouth is watering too, you don’t have long to wait. Shrove Tuesday (17 February) is just around the corner!

Also on my radar…

Apart from this main piece of cookware, hard-working countertop appliances can also help streamline your experience in the kitchen. A hand or stand mixer, for example, ensures your crêpe batter is properly mixed, while an electric griddle comes in handy when you need to prepare breakfast in speed-record time or batch-fry pancakes for friends and family.

If you are in the market for small gadgets, we’ve asked the experts for top buying tips and where to best place them for a clean and clutter-free cooking space – click here.

Spotted on social

I have a thing for nooks – intimate dining zones, cabin-style sleeping spots, and secluded bath areas. They feel comforting yet equally characterful, and add a lived-in feel to a home.

This pink, ornate kitchen design oozes a rustic, romantic feeling, from the elegant fluting, warm copper, and veiny work surfaces, to the exposed wooden beams.

The neutral furniture, striking mirror, tactile shower tiles, and subtle coastal details work in unison in this bathroom design, achieving a calm, timeless space.
