Food and drinks overflowing, people gathering around the island bench and table – the kitchen and dining areas are the centre of the hustle and bustle during the festive season, where memorable dishes come to life.
For 2021, Habitus is embracing the five senses of the festive season with the first of our Christmas Gift Guide series featuring a curated selection of lust-worthy products for taste-makers, the avid home chefs and anyone who loves pottering in the kitchen or putting out a spread on the dining table.
