Go Green with Art of Living
 
Greetings!

I have been so inspired by the number of suppliers offering 'Green' cookware products that we are adding a Green section to our website. We are about to send you the latest edition of RED APRON magazine, which has Green cookware items. It also gives you lots of gift ideas to help you with present hunting this Christmas.
 
GreenPan Cookware. No PTFE or PFOA
I have been testing a new environmentally friendly non stick cookware called GreenPan. You may have read Richard Ehrlich's review of GreenPan in The Times: The Green Kitchen Nonstick panacea. I have been using this new range of cookware for the last six months and give my opinion in the article below... GreenPan: My experience so far? 
GreenPan: My experience so far? GreenPan
Back in March this year, I got a call from the charming and urbane Chris Stevens, the new Managing Director of Typhoon Housewares. Amongst other things, he wanted to show me a range of Cookware called 'GreenPan', which he claimed was far far superior to anything that I might currently be stocking. My sceptical interest was roused. All the more so since I've been following the arguments over the possible toxicity of ordinary non sticks for a couple of years.

He made 4 distinct claims about his new pans; firstly the coating is made of Silica (sand) rather than the normal fluoropolymers that PTFE non sticks come from. Secondly this silica non stick would withstand far higher temperatures. Thirdly, the manufacturing process is very Green. It uses 60% less heat than that required for a normal non stick pan. And lastly they use a high percentage of recycled material in both the pans and even in the packaging. 

John Lewis Price Promise 
After a customer survey we ran earlier this year, we became aware that our customers automatically assumed that we were more expensive than the large stores.
 
John Lewis has a reputation for good service and good prices so we decided to make people aware that we have been price matching John Lewis (with lower prices on many items) for some time now. So, there is no point in going into town if you can get the same or better selection in Reigate and Cobham. At the same, or better prices!!! 
 
We'd love to hear from you
Julie, our web consultant, would never forgive me if I didn't mention our new blog. You can read reviews and get hold of tips and advice on the finest cookware products available. There is a link at the end of each post called 'comments' where you can leave your thoughts on our blog posts.   

We'd love to hear from you.
