Alanna Gallagher’s kitchen-focused interiors round-up

TRENDING . . . INTERACTIVE BAKING Get the kids involved in a real-life Hansel and Gretel-style situation by making a gingerbread house for Christmas. This cookie-cutter kit from UK-based Prezzy Box (0044-8452495007, prezzy box.com) has all the cookie cutters you will need to make this gingerbread chalet, including the animals, fencing, Christmas tree and shepherd. Whether the end result looks like the one seen here is anybody’s guess, but you should have a lot of fun even getting to that point. The object of the exercise, of course, is memory making, not winning The Great Irish Bake Off. The set, which includes the recipe, cutters, cutting knives and assembly instructions, costs about £15.95 (€19.05) ex- delivery.
