Scales are one of the most essential bits of kitchen kit, especially for those who regularly cook from scratch or follow meal plans. They might do a relatively simple job, but that doesn’t mean choosing your ideal set is an easy decision.

Weighing yourself is an activity most of us regard as a reluctant but necessary activity. Whether you do it peeking through your fingers, on hopeful tiptoes or with the confidence that hours in the gym brings, a set of accurate, easy-to-use bathroom scales is essential. And, given that the latest models are packed with features and digital accuracy, weighing yourself could be, dare we say it, fun.

The other day I was taking a sizzling Gratin Dauphinois out of the oven when a couple of friends asked for the recipe. Jings! I realised I hadn’t even posted the recipe yet. So, without further ado, here is my version of the classic French creamy potato bake, which originates from the Dauphiné region of South-East France.

Also new on the block is Homni, a smart circadian lighting product from French company Terraillon. Homni is the first sleep technology product for the hundred year-old brand, which is well-known for their range of home and kitchen products.

Having given you outline details of what Homni can do and how it links via Bluetooth to Dot/Reston the items that track your sleep quality here I delve deeper which for those like me who sleep badly may give vital helpful information.

As the days get darker and colder it's tempting to go into hibernation as a farewell to the carefree days of summer. Of course, summer has it's stresses too and life does not magically transform itself simply because it's warm out. Yet that extra bit of sunshine - and vitamin D - certainly has a way of putting people at ease.

In response to growing consumer demands, Terraillon, the French reference in connected health and well-being products has announced a new version of its NutriTab nutritional scale, now available in Cranberry Red, complete with new features to facilitate access to nutritional information on the food we eat.

The clocks go back at the end of this month people – how did that come around so quickly? Dredging ourselves out of our cosy beds is that much harder once the dark, winter mornings kick-in. But it doesn’t have to be that way. French firm Terraillon, best known for its precision kitchen and bathroom scales, has turned its attentions to the bedroom with the launch of Homni. 

The country is currently enjoying baking fever with the start of the GBBO series. I too love baking, I am not an expert and its not my strong point, never the less I do dabble and try my hand at simple bakes.

Thanks to the sleep and wake-up programmes developed with the European Sleep Centre, HOMNI helps the user fall asleep in the best possible conditions with harmonious lighting as well as a cardiac coherence regulator to monitor stress in order to wake up feeling refreshed.
