Too often our tools feel just like that, practical things to do a job. Nigella Lawson’s measuring spoons show us even the practical things in life can still be beautiful. With shapes reminiscent of fine vintage silverware, the Living Kitchen measuring spoons are full of character. Each spoon features engraved text that accents the gently curving metal. My favourite is the smallest spoon, a pinch. Finally, I know how much that is! The set’s other spoons are quarter teaspoon, half teaspoon, teaspoon, dessert spoon (two teaspoons) and tablespoon. Designed by Sebastian Conran, the set is available in brushed or polished stainless steel and is dishwasher safe. The Living Kitchen measuring spoons are available in the UK for £20
