From stylish serving platters to gorgeous gifts, our edit of the new John Lewis x Deliciously Ella range
We want it all!
Our July Good Housekeeping cover star Ella Mills has just announced her first-ever interiors collection – in collaboration with John Lewis – and we’re obsessed.
The range officially launched online on 17 September, and we’ve cherry-picked our favourite buys from the 60-piece collection, which spans everything from kitchen gadgets to tableware and gifting (just in time for your Christmas shopping), with prices starting from just £6.
Inspired by nature, the pieces are set to make kitchen prep and tablescaping easier (and more beautiful!) than ever, with embroidered vegetable linens and clever food storage for batch cooking, through to a non-stick multi-pan in Deliciously Ella’s signature forest green that drops later in the year.
SHOP JOHN LEWIS X DELICIOUSLY ELLA
“After almost 14 years of sharing recipes and building a community around the joys of home cooking, creating our first cookware collection feels like a milestone moment,” says Ella, founder of plant-based recipe and wellness business, Deliciously Ella. “This range brings together everything I’ve learned about making everyday cooking simpler and more enjoyable. These are the pieces I’ve always wanted in my own kitchen.”
“Working with Ella on this collection has been such a natural fit,” says Lucy Steer, Head Buyer of Gifts, Cook, Dine and Seasonal at John Lewis. “Her passion for making home cooking simpler and more joyful really inspired our approach – from the nostalgic, embroidered linens to the cleverly designed food cubes for batch cooking. The result is a collection that’s fresh, functional and full of charm – pieces you’ll want to use every day and feel proud to keep on display in your kitchen.”
Here’s everything on our wish list.
Perfect for a slice of Ella’s famous banana bread, this pretty set of four plates, which feature kitchen herb illustrations, will look gorgeous on your table.
These stoneware dipping bowls are as cute as can be. The pea-shaped design is a feast for the eyes, whether serving a trio of homemade hummus or shop-bought Tex Mex dips.
Be the hostess with the most-ess with this set of 16 place settings. There are blank sheets to create your own menus, and name cards so guests know where to take their seat. Absolute cat nip for those who love to host.
We love the organic shape of this timeless glazed dinner plate, and its subtle contrasting rim. Better yet, it's dishwasher safe, too! And there are serving bowls, side plates and more to match.
Proving there's no end of ways Ella can make kale cool, this 40cm stoneware serving platter makes a real statement. Whether you layer it with salad or roast potatoes is up to you!
John Lewis X Deliciously Ella Beetroot Hand Painted Stoneware Salt & Pepper Shakers
Quite possibly the cutest salt and pepper shakers ever; these hand-painted mini beets look far more expensive than they are.
Stay hydrated with this stunning hammered glass jug, which holds 1.37L (of water, or margaritas, it's up to you!), and team with the matching glass tumblers.
Throw away those old, stained tea towels, and replace them with this fresh set instead. Made from an absorbent waffle fabric, with a handy hanging loop, the pack includes one striped design and one with sweet embroidered garden veg motifs. A cost-effective way to freshen up the kitchen.
This generous roaster is practical and stylish, so you can take is straight from oven to table for everyone to dig in.
Made from FSC-certified oak wood, this space-saving chopping board is set to become the focal point of your kitchen. It also doubles up as a lid for the stoneware roaster – clever!
A spoon rest is one of those handy kitchen staples that you don't truly appreciate until you have one. And at just £6, this glazed, stoneware dish is a bargain, too.
Nail the food prep with this clever cube, which features four 250ml compartments. Batch cook Sundays have never looked more appealing.
For breakast, lunch and snacks on the go, these sturdy stainless steel food containers come with reassuringly secure clip-top lids for a spill-proof seal. The nested design streamlines storage, and they can be popped in the dishwasher and freezer, too.
This hand-painted serving bowl will pull any feast together with its rich green glaze. Use it as a fruit bowl, serving platter, or decorative piece. It's a lovely gift, too.
The perfect place to record your most successful recipes, and a great gift for the keen cook. We think this could be passed down to future generations.
