A kitchen cannot be considered well-equipped without at least one wooden chopping board. And, if it is beautifully fashioned in top-quality elm and can double up as a serving board, so much the better.

This generous-sized durable elm board, from German makers Rosle, certainly meets these criteria, with its flawless workmanship and thoughtful design features befitting a company whose guiding principle is ‘love, cook, live’. Its 3.5cm thick chopping surface slopes gently to a juice groove at the back to maintain a clean, smooth front edge for food preparation. It boasts a stylish stainless steel handle and non-slip rubber feet.
