Hey you, yes you – I can count on the fact that you read our piece yesterday on kitting out your crib right? If so, I assume your lounge and room are now decked out with enough furniture to entertain some guests, time to make that Whatsapp group and wait for it to descend into motivational quotes and meme pics.

On the assumption that you have managed to rustle up a crowd, now comes another hurdle – cooking something edible and letting those who enter the kitchen know that you are not here to muck about. Food is serious business so let’s talk some…

A quick note before we go any further, check this banner and have your calculator handy – you will now get an extra 20% off these goods below until Friday.

I don’t know what knife set you’re currently operating, but it is unbecoming to have the remnants of five different sets remaining in the kitchen. Get up and running with the Maxwell & Williams Slice and Dice Five-Piece Knife Set for R299 (R449 value, free delivery). The knives are made with stainless steel and there is a non-stick overcoat for the blade when not in use, keeping them sharper for longer. The set comes in a nifty gift box and an assortment of colours so there is a little something for everyone. Your dimensions before we have a look: 38cm (L) x 4cm (W) x 26cm (H)

OK, knife set sorted and gift-boxed, perfect for suggesting to some of your friends that they move on from their existing range of blunted and rusty implements.
