I know that a fifties retro look is very popular at the moment - but would you go to the lengths of having a free standing cooker with solid electric plates and an eye level grill? New World are asking themselves that question. They already do two models in white - but they're wondering if there would be any demand for a pistachio green model.

I guess I could live with a gas version (they do those too) - but I do hate solid electric hotplates. If you'd just love one of these pistachio cookers, though - get in touch with New World - it's only a prototype at the moment but, if there's enough demand, they'll make the pistachio version available (and they're entirely UK made).   (end)
