Harts of Stur Kitchen Issue 5, Christmas 2017 | Page 2

W elcome to the fifth edition of our now award- winning magazine. We were honoured to attend the recent Excellence in Housewares Awards in London and picked up the ‘Excellence in Retail Initiative’ for Kitchen. Winning this award and receiving recognition for our magazine has made us all very proud and we are glad that our readers are enjoying the great features, recipes and buying guides found within. As always, this time of year brings with it chilly mornings, blustery days and long dark nights. Hearty, warming and comforting meals are back on the menu as we gently lead into the festive season. Whether, like me, you leave present buying to the last minute or are more organised, crossing names off the list throughout the year, finding the perfect Christmas present can be a stressful business. Our handy gift guide (p29-44) should give you plenty of inspiration for food and drink lovers. And with free UK mainland delivery on orders over £50 you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home! I hope you enjoy your festive celebrations and wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year. We are certainly looking forward to a busy 12 months, full of exciting new projects and, of course, more editions of Kitchen. Philip Hart Managing Director 2 www.hartsofstur.com
