Originally called The Cookcraft Kitchen Shop, we've been in a few locations on Bridge Street since we first opened in 2002. Over the years we've grown our offering from specialist cookshop into more of a lifestyle shop, embracing happiness in the home.

Now trading as Cook+Live+Dream, the whole thing is an eclectic mix, but there is a core theme.

The cookshop has always had a strong emphasis on functionality, quality and relevance to your kitchen and your cooking. Provenance, integrity and craftsmanship are important, and we've always tried to source from country of origin, and region of excellence - from suppliers who know deep in their psyches what they're making, why they're making it and, importantly, who they're making it for. 

With our "living" ranges we try to keep to that same ethos - this is where we live, this is who we are, this is our environment. Though we can absorb many influences, we can't change the landscape around us, or the seasons that shape it. Why try? There is such great stuff, great natural resources and craftsmanship here on our doorstep, we should dive in and celebrate it. Fundamentally, if something is skilfully made by talented people from quality materials and with an eye to the environment; above all, if it makes you smile, your heart lift, your skin tingle and your eyes sparkle, then it has a place in our shop.

More recently we have expanded into what Liz calls "rehabilitation". It's about rescuing, reviving and renewing. So we have a few select vintage items, but mainly the focus is on saving broken and battered furniture from the skip (or worse!), giving it a new lease of life, teaching it how to be loveable again.
