Paul Smith for Stelton

From The Paul Smith website: "Paul Smith is delighted to launch a new collection of tableware to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Stelton. Paul Smith re-worked designs from the Stelton Archives and the Arne Jacobsen’s Cylinda collection giving them a refreshing and contemporary update.

Danish designer Arne Jacobsen, best known for designing ‘The Egg’ and ‘Number 7’ chairs, is an exemplar of the 'Danish Modern' style. Paul Smith has long admired Jacobsen’s work and so was delighted to be asked to re-invent the now iconic Cylinda collection. The collection respects the integrity of the original design with tea and coffee pots in hand polished stainless-steel while incorporating highlights of colour on the handles indicative of Paul Smith’s innate sense of colour.


The Arne Jacobsen Cocktail set has also been thoughtfully re-worked – a cocktail mixer, jug, ice-bucket, mixer spoon, tray and coasters have been re-coloured in black. Reflecting the character of Paul and his designs, each piece has a different engraved quote, “take pleasure seriously”, or “start something new”, conveying Paul’s genuine sense of humour. Available now from selected Paul Smith shops.

Giveaway : Go Max Go Foods Candy Bars (1/30/11)

Go Max Go Foods takes inspiration from familiar flavors to create their own chocolate bars which are free from hydrogenated oils, trans fat, cholesterol, diary and egg ingredients. Go Max Go Foods recently sent me one each of their four chocolate bar offerings : Jokerz (dry roasted peanuts, nougat, caramel), Twilight (nougat, caramel), Buccaneer (nougat) and Mahalo (coconut, dry roasted almonds). Each of the bars looks gorgeous and tastes just as amazing as they look!

Jokerz :

The nougat is packed full of flavor and has an almost fudge like taste and consistency which seems slightly darker, chewier and stickier than the 'traditional' candy bar nougat. The caramel is equally flavorful with just the right consistency and sweetness to complement the chocolatey nougat. In keeping with familiar traditional candy bar flavors, the chocolate coating is a milk chocolate (the milk in this case being rice milk) which has a light flavor that highlights the flavor of the fillings quite well. Personally, I think I would prefer the overall flavor if the coating were simply dark chocolate (the rice milk seems to damper the chocolate flavor a bit), but with the milk chocolate coating the flavors are super classic and super familiar which is nice too! One other thing to take note of is that these bars do contain corn syrup.

Twlight:

Buccaneer:

While I liked all the bars, the Mahalo flavor was hands down my favorite- it was almost like biting into a huge, chewy chocolate covered coconut macaroon speckled with crunchy almonds, so so good.

Mahalo:

Definitely a great option to satisfy those sweetness cravings!
