Pookie Recommends only products she has actually used and believes in. So, if you are looking for an item for your home, below are some things Pookie would never do without.
Flavourblaster
This is a brand new, super cool machine to Wow! your guests. It can be used for drinks of course but I love to use it for smoking or adding totally unique effects to foods. You can guarantee most will never have seen this and you'll be asked again and again to show them some of the many ways it can enhance food flavour, presentation and design. Click the Picture and if you quote Pookiestyle in your order they will even give you a great discounted price.
Ninja 3-in-1 Food Processor
You may have seen Pookie use this not only in her home videos but also in the Masterchef competition where she insisted they make it available. "It's quite loud" says Pookie "but its robust and very effective, its a great machine"
Sous Vide Supreme Demi 9L
If you have the space, this is a great little sous vide machine. Its very accurate and easy to use. I love to sous vide some dishes as they make serving to many guests a breeze.
Masterclass Kitchen Blowtorch
Apart from telling judges to watch out (well you should!) I use this a lot to add caramelization or to sear foods. Its compact, not too expensive and works well.

Sodium Alginate
An extract of seaweed, this is a gelling agent that dilutes when agitated in cold water. Can be used to form spheres, foams and heat resistant gels. I use it a lot as a thickener, emulsifier or texture improver. Suitable for Vegans, Vegetarians, ovo-lacto vegetarians, non GMO, Gluten Free and non irradiated.
Calcium Lactate
A good source of Calcium, this is Premium Quality Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Suitable for Kosher and Halal - Recyclable Container
Cake Decoration Kit
"This is a great starter kit with many useful tools to do all sorts of dishes, including making those scales to create your own fish"
Glass Coffee Syphon
Amaze your guests by creating wonderful table illusions as your ingredients infuse your consommé and then return it back to the glass pot ready for serving. Can also be used for coffee or even flowering tea.
Smoking Gun
Nothing in here is not something I haven't bought myself and this smoke machine has been a great addition to my kitchen gadgets. Its small and doesn't take up too much cupboard space but is great for adding flavours and effects to foods.
