Housewares Business-to-business magazine for housewares retailers and their suppliers
Steamer Trading Cookshop was involved in a royal fundraising gala last month hosted by The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton.
The party was held in aid of the East Anglia Children’s Hospice, a charity of which Kate became a patron in 2012.
The event was held on June 22 at Houghton Hall, a country house in Norfolk, which is the home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley – and a short drive from Kate and her husband Prince William’s family home of Anmer Hall.
Housewares specialist retailer Steamer Trading provided much of the cooking equipment used by five top chefs to prepare a special meal for Kate, William, and 80 guests.
A five-course meal was created and cooked by Michelin starred chefs Galton Blackiston, Sat Bains, Claude Bosi, Tom Kerridge and Mark Edwards, all of whom have been awarded Michelin stars.
After the meal, Steamer Trading Cookshop presented each chef with a bespoke Yaxell Super Gou knife, engraved with a Japanese translation of their name.
