Candles for food lovers!

Scented candles may be common in many homes (EDITOR: In almost every room, here!) but none are as delicious and unique as Cook with Lisa’s fabulous foodie creations. The dessert themed collection not only smells fantastic - the recipe for each yummy dish is detailed on the label so you can rustle up the real thing, should you want to!

Whether you choose Apple Pie, Shortbread, Raspberry Sorbet or Pineapple Flambé - within minutes of lighting the candle your house will radiate warm and welcoming scents.

Lisa Roukin, creator and talented cooking teacher, was inspired by the comforting smells of her childhood, which many of us will be able to relate to. “There are many aromas that remind me of my childhood food memories, certainly the ones that my Mum and Grandma used to make,” explains Lisa.

“My love of food began at an early age as our kitchen constantly had wonderful food smells that would run through the house. Even walking back home from school I could smell freshly baked shortbread from the street. I loved watching my Mum and Grandma make their special Apple Pie, then waiting by the oven for it to finish baking.”

Our sense of smell is so powerful when it comes to evoking memories from the past that within a few minutes of lighting one of Cook with Lisa’s candles you will be transported back in time to a carefree and happier place.

The manufacturing process was very important to Lisa so she personally developed the fragrances after decided on a range of scents to suit every palate. She has covered the spicy (Apple pie), warm (Shortbread), fresh (Raspberry Sorbet) and tropical (Pineapple Flambé).

And if you want to recreate those flavours yourself for real, Cook with Lisa’s candles have the unique twist of a tried and tested recipe on the label that means you will be able to experience the delicious dish! (EDITOR: And see if the smells your cooking creates matches the candle!)

Each candle has a 50 hour burn time and is handmade in the UK with British sourced ingredients. The candles do not contain any animal products so are suitable for vegetarians too.

They can even be a zero calorie fix for dieters who want to experience their favourite desserts without needing to taste them.

And if you are looking to sell your house this year it's worth remembering the smell of freshly baked goodies is proven to get buyers hooked, so a Cook with Lisa candle could really make a difference without the need to tidy up the kitchen afterwards!

Cook with Lisa candles are available from www.cookwithlisa.com/shop for £14.99.
