Product Information

Sorry to hear that. One of the sad realities of meeting renowned or famous people is that they rarely live up to expectation and, in some cases, turn out to be complete arseholes. Most people off the TV fit into this category in my experience. I have gone through two of these, both broke were it screws together after three or four uses. very poor! Kardemummakaka is normally served plain with a good cup of coffee, but occasionally it is accompanied by a little whipped cream and some fresh fruit.

I really enjoy that the best thing to peel ginger with is a flatware spoon but I do love my mandoline and mortar and pestle! If you've got one, I recommend using a Jamie Oliver "flavour shaker" for grinding cardamom as the seeds have an annoying habit of jumping out of a mortar.
