  1. Emma Britton Q&A

    Leave a Comment

    The team at ProWare first met Emma Britton at the Spirit of Christmas at London Olympia and were wowed by her beautiful and innovative designs. From glassware and mirrors to napkins and splashbacks, Emma’s collection has something for every home.

    With individually crafted and bespoke creations, Emma’s products are sure to give any kitchen a beautiful finishing touch. Intrigued by how Emma got started, we sat down and asked her more about it…

    1.Tell us more about yourself/brand?

    I am a decorative glass designer, meaning I put pattern onto glass. I launched my business, Emma Britton Decorative Glass Designer, back in 2010, and came up with an idea of putting repeated pattern onto glass splashbacks that wasn’t available at the time. I had a background in textile design but had worked in the glass industry, so my niche came from the marriage of these two areas of expertise.

    2. What makes your splashbacks so special?

    They are original and very much designed to bring joy or to complete an interior space. I personally oversee every project from design, to making and fitting. Each home and customer is unique so I work with clients to realise what they would like and help to solve their design dilemmas. My glass splashbacks are pretty yet practical, designed to last, suitable to use behind all kinds of hobs and cookers. Customers can either choose from one of my collections or commission a bespoke design – we have different price points depending on your budget. 

    3. Talk about your signature design style…

    My work has a strong British aesthetic, it’s bold, confident and often colourful with a hint of nostalgia, mostly floral, and always inspired by suburbia and the way we decorate our homes. I paint all my designs by hand. My pieces are always practical though, and designed with modern living and entertaining in mind. In my spare time I love to be a hostess and really enjoy decorating my Edwardian home.

    4. You also design for glassware…tell us more

    I’ve been designing patterns for glassware since 2015. I wanted to expand my offering and it felt like a natural synergy to the splashbacks as its still pattern on glass. During the pandemic we bought all our glassware decoration in-house, something I am incredibly proud of and now decorate everything in small batches in my Derbyshire studio. I launched new designs at this point; my pretty etched Silver Birch Collection with dainty, dappled leaves and it has really taken off. I think people like to use nice things everyday, it just elevates the everyday, from a nice glass of water to a pretty glass of wine on the sofa and with friends. 

    What is your favourite dish to cook at home?

    I really like to make a vegetarian version using quorn mince of coochinando’s Pasta Al Forna. It takes about two hours to make, so I usually do it on a Saturday afternoon when I can relax and enjoy the cooking process. I make a huge dish, or two at a time, so I can freeze some portions and also enjoy it the next day when it tastes even better! https://coochinando.com/recipes/pasta-al-forno-oven-pasta-bake/

    Cooking Method for our Charred Hispi Cabbage with a Hazelnut and Stilton Crumb

    1. Firstly, heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
    2. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into four to six wedges, but keeping the core intact so the leaves stay together.
    3. Drizzle 1 tbsp of the oil over the wedges and massage into the leaves before sprinkling over a pinch of sea salt.
    4. Add some oil to the non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat until it’s hot, but not smoking. Sear the wedges, cut-side down, for 6-8 mins until blackened and charred, and then turn them over and cook on the other side for another 6-8 mins until they get a really good, dark brown crust.
    5. Transfer to a baking tray, cut-side up, and roast for 10-15 mins until the stalks are tender when pierced with a knife, or transfer to a cooler place on the barbecue and cook until the stalks are tender.
    6. Meanwhile, heat the butter in the stainless steel interior frying pan. Fry the-hazelnuts and breadcrumbs for 2-3 mins until the hazelnuts smell nutty and the breadcrumbs toast.
    7. Add the butter, and stir for a few mins to coat. Stir in the parsley with some seasoning, then pour over the cabbage and dot with Stilton. Return to the oven for 5 mins until the Stilton has melted.

  4. The Perfect Roast Potatoes

    Comments Off on The Perfect Roast Potatoes

    Yes, we know it’s a bold claim, but we really are bringing you the perfect roast potatoes. Rosemary really lifts any roast potato dish, but we recommend sourcing some fresh rosemary if you can (we’ve invested in a rosemary plant because they are so hardy!)

    We all think we have the perfect roast potato recipe but, what’s great about this one, is that it’s vegetarian and vegan-friendly! So, if you don’t believe us, cook them up yourself and let us know what you think.

    Written by Eliza

    Serves: 8
    Prep time: 10-15 minutes
    Cooking time: 45-55 minutes

    Ingredients for the Perfect Roast Potatoes

    • 75ml sunflower oil
    • 2kg floury potatoes, maris piper work well
    • 2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
    • Good pinch of sea salt

    Equipment

    This recipe features our newest range, Stainless Steel Base, so find out what we love about it here and don’t forget to check out our other ranges too.

    Cooking Method for our the Perfect Roast Potatoes

    1. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Pour the oil into a large roasting tin and then put in the oven to heat up.
    2. Peel the potatoes and chop them into large even chunks (about 5cm). Place in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with a generous pinch of salt, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the potatoes are just tender around the edges.
    3. Once they are ready, you can drain them and return them to the pan. Cover with the lid and give the pan a good shake to rough up the edges (one of our favourite things about our Stainless Steel Base and Copper Base ranges is the vented, glass lids… you can see just how fluffy your potatoes are!)
    4. Take the roasting tin of hot oil out of the oven, and then carefully transfer the potatoes one by one to the hot oil, and turn each one to coat it on all sides as you go.
    5. Roast for 45-55 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking, then season with salt chopped rosemary and serve.

  5. Whole Baked Cauliflower Cheese

    Comments Off on Whole Baked Cauliflower Cheese

    Cauliflower Cheese has to be one of the nation’s favourite dishes. This Whole Baked Cauliflower Cheese does not disappoint! It’s perfect for Christmas but is also a great accompaniment to a roast dinner all year round.

    Part of the beauty of this recipe is that it showcases so many different parts of our ranges. Steam or par boil the cauliflower in one of our saucepans or our Stainless Steel Steamer, make the roux in one of our milk pans, and bake the dish in the oven in one of our frying pans, or sauté pan if you have a particularly large cauliflower! It’s also a straightforward and easy recipe so you can fit it in around the chaos of Christmas cooking.

  6. Roast Chicken with Clementines

    Comments Off on Roast Chicken with Clementines

    Chicken is such a versatile meat that it goes with an abundance of different flavours. One of our favourites is Roast Chicken with Clementines and its aromas are sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. The mustard, thyme, and fennel running through the dish lift the flavours and distinguish it from other Roast Chicken dishes. It really is perfect for the festive or winter period so get cooking it for yourself!

    This recipe also (deservedly) puts the spotlight on our Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 35cm Roasting Pan. We love it because it’s suitable for all hob types, including induction. It is also oven safe up to 260°C. We are proud to offer a lifetime guarantee and know you will love it as much as we do so why not treat yourself?

    Written by Eliza

    Ingredients for Roast Chicken with Clementines

    • 4 tbsp olive oil
    • 100ml of Pernod
    • Juice of ½ an orange
    • Juice of ½ a lemon
    • 2 tbsp grain mustard
    • 3 tbsp honey
    • 1 large onion, peeled with the root left intact and cut into wedges
    • 1 medium fennel bulb cut into 6 wedges
    • 3 sticks of celery
    • 1.2 kg chicken
    • 4 clementines, unpeeled and sliced horizontally into thick slices
    • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
    • 2 tsp fennel seeds
    • Chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve
    • Salt and black pepper

    Equipment

    We have four fantastic ranges and so see what we love about each of them here. If you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas, make sure to check out our Gift Guide because it’s always nice to treat yourself or a foodie loved one.

    Cooking Method for Roast Chicken with Clementines

    1. Firstly, in a mixing bowl whisk the olive oil, Pernod, orange juice, lemon juice, mustard and honey and then season generously with salt and black pepper.
    2. Pour the mixture over the chicken and leave it for a couple of hours to let the flavours develop.
    3. Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7.  
    4. In a Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Roasting Pan, place the celery sticks in the middle and then sit the chicken on top. Next, place the remaining vegetables around it and sprinkle with fennel seeds and any marinade around the chicken.
    5. Bake for 15 minutes and then lower the heat to 190°C and cook for 45 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Once it is, you can remove it from the oven.
    6. Lift the chicken, fennel and clementines from the tray and then arrange them on a serving plate before covering to keep warm.
    7. If you wish to reduce the sauce, then pour it into a ProWare saucepan and bring it to the boil.
    8. Simmer until the sauce is reduced by a third, so you are left with about 80ml. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken, garnish with some chopped parsley and serve.

    1. Discard the first few outer leaves of the sprouts and separate the next layer of leaves. Once you get to the inner of the sprout, where it becomes tight, finely shred and keep to add at the last minute.
    2. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and season with salt. Once the water is rapidly boiling, carefully drop in the sprout leaves and allow to cook for 1 minute.
    3. Drain from the water and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.
    4. Once cooled, drain off and place onto a towel to dry.
    5. Cut the chestnuts into quarters and keep in a separate bowl.
    6. Mix the Dijon mustard together with the vinegar and oil to create a light vinaigrette dressing. Keep to one side

    Roasted Pheasant Crown:

    1. Pre-heat your oven to 160°C.
    2. Heat a thickbased frying pan and drizzle with oil, season the pheasant with salt and colour all over the breast.
    3. Add the butter, thyme and garlic and start to baste when it starts foaming.
    4. Sit the bird up in the pan and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the thick part of the breast reaches 55°C.
    5. Remove the bird from the pan and rest in a warm area for 10-15 minutes.
    6. Take the garlic and thyme out of the frying pan and return to a medium heat.
    7. Add the bacon and begin to fry to a deep, golden-brown colour.
    8. Once the bacon has fried and is becoming crispy, add the chestnuts and fry for 1 more minute.
    9. Add the sprouts (both the blanched leaves and the shredded inners) and cook for a further 1 minute.
    10. Remove from the heat and dress generously with the vinaigrette and season well.

    Cranberry Ketchup:

    1. Combine all ingredients in the pan and add a small splash of water.
    2. Cover with a lid or clingfilm and bring to the boil.
    3. Remove the lid and allow to cool down and start to slightly caramelise.
    4. Blitz to a smooth purée and season.
    5. Allow to chill before use.

    TO FINISH:

    1. Check the seasoning of the salad and spoon around a large bowl.
    2. Use a sharp knife to cut along each side of the breast bone of the pheasant.
    3. Carefully work your way down to remove the breast as one.
    4. Season with sea salt and place on top of the sprouts.
    5. Finish with a large spoon of the cranberry ketchup
