Meet your match

Matches are one of those household items we tend to forget about – but the reality is a poor-quality match can be a real nuisance. How many times have you had to use half a box to light all the candles on a birthday cake, or broken a dozen before you manage to get one to strike up? In the grand scheme of things, these may not seem like huge problems, but they’re ones we could really do without when the going gets tough in the kitchen.

Cook’s Matches are synonymous with quality and heritage (you’ll probably remember seeing your parents use them) and have long been the go-to kitchen match. The understated box is one everybody recognises, and it’s an essential part of every cook’s kitchen. Sustainable and eco-friendly, Cook’s Matches are the quick and easy way to light everything from stoves to fires.
