‘First Put Your Apron On’ Cookbook and Tea towel by Sally Clarke
‘First Put Your Apron On’, is the latest cookbook from restaurateur Sally Clarke.
The inspiration for ‘First Put on Your Apron’ originally came from years of teaching her son the joys of wholesome, culinary exploration, both at home and during treasured holidays in France and Italy. Nigella Lawson writes of the book:
‘I know well enough to trust that any book she wrote would be one filled with food I wanted to eat.’
An accompanying tea towel, designed by Paul Smith makes this a perfect duo for any cook.
About Sally Clarke Ltd
Since the opening of Clarkes Restaurant in 1983, the Sally Clarke brand has grown from one restaurant to a further 2 retail shops in Kensington, a wholesale bakery and a production kitchen, all based just a stone’s throw away from the Restaurant.
Her name is eponymous with beautiful seasonal food, whether it be the daily changing menus served in the restaurant or the exquisite baked goods and carefully curated selection of products available in her shops and cafes.
Sally may now be found every day within the Shops, Bakery, Production Kitchen and Restaurant’s dining room.

A Cocktail Collection and Shaker from Moore House Cocktails
Three hand crafted cocktails make for a personalised tasting flight and perfect gift. They come complete with a branded cocktail shaker and gift boxed.
An ideal gift set for any cocktail lover.
About Moore House Cocktails
London’s famed and illustrious Notting Hill is home to the Moore House Cocktail Company; purveyors of luxurious handcrafted small batch cocktails. We’re a small team, passionate about cocktails, bars and absolutely everything in between. We believe an exceptional service, presentation and experience are just as important as that first sip.
It all started with making cocktails at home. We loved the experience, but not the cost. Stocking a home bar takes time, money and attention. So we started batching. We started bottling. And eventually we started sharing. We use only the best ingredients, batching small and often, bottling fresh and carefully; some things are best done by hand.
