New beginnings

The cookshop as a limited company finished trading in May 2026, but the closure was just a chance to unshackle from onerous overheads, refurbish the premises and restructure how the shop works. It's a different kind of thing now, less a comprehensive kitchenshop and more an interiors shop, with some core kitchen pieces but a lot more besides. Other pages on this website give some explanation.

The main change in strategy is that we are not open to the public. But I am blessed with enormous windows (not a metaphor), and I have set them up to showcase the furniture, vintage china and snuggly woollen stuff. Over time I will try to get most of the bigger items listed here as well, so you can window shop from the comfort of your own broadband. Watch this space! But bearing in mind that I am only one small brain-fogged woman with ambitious ideas and no tech savvy, don't literally watch the space - that would be such a waste of your life. Circle back in a month or so to see if there are updates. 

Meanwhile, if you are interested in anything that you can see from the window, please email Liz: cooklivedream@btinternet.com.
