Full question

Hello Nigella Team, I would really like to make Nigella's Gurdlebuster Pie this Christmas, and have been trolling the internet trying to find a pie dish as beautiful as the red one Nigella uses. Please could you tell me where I can buy it, or maybe something similar?

Hi there I've recently been watching re-runs of Nigella's programmes in Italy and am trying to find out what make the black bowls are that she uses in them. One of the recipes was a South Indian veggie curry another was an egg and bacon salad. The bowls are black and very uneven looking. I would very much appreciate any information you could give me about them Thank you, zobo31

Hello There, I was wondering where I could purchase the teacup shaped glass bowl and saucer from Nigella's Forever Summer series. They were wonderful, but I can't seem to find them online. Many thanks, Dawn

Dear Nigella team. Where can I find the glass mugs with candy canes, which can be found in the book "Nigella's Christmas" Regards Armani1502

Hi there! I love the salt pig that Nigella uses on Nigellissima and I actually was successful in finding and purchasing one for myself! However, I have not been successful in finding the small wooden spoon that she usually has in the container. Where would I be able to find this? Thanks a bunch! nt121390.

Our answer

Nigella's Girdlebuster Pie (from Christmas and on the Nigella website) is made in a ceramic pie dish. Emile Henry makes a similar 9-inch pie dish in cerise red and this can be found on-line and in good kitchenware stores.

We suspect that the black bowls are Colombian Clayware plates. Nigella bought hers from Heal's a long time ago and they no longer sell the bowls. However try searching on-line for La Chamba or Tierra Negra crockery.

We suspect that the glass bowls you are referring to are the beaded glass bowls made by a company called La Cote and are called "bella pearle". They are available on-line from Dibor and via Amazon.

We think that the candy cane glass mugs may have been bought from the US store Williams Sonoma, but it was many years ago and we regret that we have been unable to find gallses that are the same. The wooden salt spoon was a gift so we are not sure of the source, however there is a big selection of wooden salt spoons on the internet. It is worth also keeping an eye open on auction sites such as eBay for similar items to both the glasses and spoon.
