Catherine Whyte lifts the lid on the latest luxury gastro gifts
Yotam Ottolenghi – one of the UK’s brightest talents – continues his creative march into our kitchens with his tome: Sweet. Inside are more than 101 recipes ranging from Persian Love Cakes to Chocolate and Peanut Butter S’mores.

Local and luxurious! You can’t fail to please with this gift set from high-end gin masters Silent Pool Distillers (£65).

Mixing booze and biking would normally be a recipe for disaster. Not in this case though. The collaboration between legendary whisky makers Glenmorangie and US-based bikemakers Renovo has led to a world-first: a bicycle made from whisky casks. I know. Amazing, right? With a price tag of £5,287, only those with discerning palates (and wallets) need apply.

For some table theatre, why not gift this Boozy Marshmallow Toasting Kit? Choose two flavours from gin and tonic; strawberry and prosecco; and Baileys (Oct to Jan only). Definitely one for the grown-ups (Kit is priced at £18.95).
