“For a moment, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we've all become disappears when we're confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.”
- The late great Anthony Bourdain. Welcome to the FB page for Sword and Stone, a cookware brand for the chef showman in you...
2020-22 was a tough time for all of us, but for me, it was a real wake-u
p call:
During the lockdown, I realized that I was an extrovert who loved to bring people joy. That was tough, not being able to meet with anyone. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that the instant those rules were lifted, I was organising all kinds of spectacular parties just to make up the ground! But it’s not really about me; I just love to see people laughing, joking, and having a good time. And if I can use my skills to help that happen by bringing people together, hosting parties, and even throwing a silly ceremony for someone's special day, then that's what I'm all about. I started Sword and Stone because I became fascinated by the way food can get people to forget their worldly troubles. As the late genius Anthony Bourdain said:
“For a moment, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we've all become disappears when we're confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.”
I wanted to create a cookware brand that caters to people like me, who love to cook and to create a sense of occasion, entice people to leave the world of their worries just for an hour or two. Because it ain’t just about feeding the body;
Done right, even the humblest of wannabe chefs can feed the soul too. My intention with Sword and Stone is that you can be the Bourdain, the Marco or the Ramsay for this day and every day, giving every meal that sense of occasion which it deserves. It’s a moment when we should stop everything else and take time out to think of finer things, more beautiful and more lovely things. If that sounds like something you can get on board with, then pop into our shop by tapping the Visit Store button and go as far as you like! Alternatively, I’ll be posting various inspirations, quotes and other content here and in our FB Group! See you on the other side. Tim
