We are not your average
run-of-the-mill, cookshop!
pssst - come and see us soon
A little bit about what makes us so unique
Because let's face it, we are!
Having built up a solid reputation and a loyal following of customers in our old home on the High Street Knaresborough, Cooking Fantastic relocated to our farm in Killinghall. We are now pleased to have everything under one umbrella at THE CUD LIFE at Spruisty Hall Farm.
We are still an ‘Aladdins Cave’ of fantastic quality and value cookware products not to mention fabulous gifts for every occasion. We still have everything from potato peelers and pans to pickling jars and pressure cookers!
Where possible products are sourced and made in the UK, including the ever-popular Silverwoods bakeware range and lots of cake decorating equipment. We still source new products all the time. We will still hire lots of things out from cake tins to fish poachers, offer honest advice and have lots of fun along the way.
Our Cooking Fantastic Products
Carefully Selected
We care deeply about what we sell and we also care about our customers. That's why we have this website.
We want to share the knowledge we've built up over the years and we take pride in the quality, provenance and cost of the items we sell.
And we have a LOT of items - just call in to see!

Cutlery
We sell two ranges of cutlery. Both are sold as individual items rather than complete sets. That way, you can add new items and replace missing ones (where DO all those missing spoons go?) as and when you need them. We always keep these items in stock.

Knives
Knife blocks usually come with at least 6 knives, when in reality most people only use 2 or 3 - it seems far better sense to buy the best you can of the knives that you will use.
We stock three full ranges:

Veritable Sabatier - The originals with lifetime guarantees and still made in France
Robert Welch - multi-award winning kitchen knives.
