With elegant design in two parts of stainless steel, the tools are polished, joined and silver-welded at the handle.

Biography
Miriam started cooking nearly 20 years ago and since then has learnt that some things are beyond anyone’s control, so she taught herself to remain calm, to improvise and sometimes to completely wing-it! It was during the late 80s at the start of a twenty year spell as a lawyer/tax consultant Miriam became aware of the thrill and delight in finding (and buying!) eye-catching pieces. From the early nineties, cooking and entertaining became an additional channel for her creative juices and in 1996/7 she set up Kaffe Politik, a cafe/restaurant in Edinburgh. Still in her ‘day job’, Kaffe Politik was managed by Ali Walker and pioneered a range of freshly squeezed juices, ‘real’ hot chocolate, tea infusions and the full range of coffees.
At that time, the only similar offering was at Cafe Nero in Regent Street, London.
As for ‘entertaining’ (she shares her motto with the French genius Billiart) her role is to spoil and indulge everyone she invites to her home and if the food happens to “work” or be fabulous… fantastic. Miriam believes that no matter how technically tasty a meal is, if it is made with resentment, reticence and/or stress that always shines through. In Miriam’s world, it’s all about the warmth of the welcome and the little details that light up any get-together. She lives in Edinburgh with her husband and two children.
