“CHEERS!” TO 2023

For many of us across the country, our reliable Thermador appliances have helped us through, yet another happy Christmas season filled with all the gastronomical wonders the season has to offer. Baking, roasting, grilling, frying, steaming, simmering, chilling and freezing seemed never-ending these past few months but I’m sure we can all agree that our epic culinary efforts have left us all with wonderful memories of sharing holiday meals with the people we love and value most in our lives.

Let’s all raise a glass with family and friends and shout “CHEERS!” to 2023 and a fresh start to 2024. It’s a special occasion that calls for us to pull out all the stops and celebrate in grand style. In the final hours of 2023, let’s indulge in decadent holiday treats served on our finest dinnerware, sip our favourite wine, prosecco, champagne or cocktail from a shimmering crystal glass and end the celebration with a rich steamy cup of coffee, latte or espresso. In my books, this is the perfect way to celebrate the end of what I hope for all of you was a happy, healthy and prosperous year. Cheers!

Here are a few stylish suggestions for wrapping up 2023 and ringing in the new year with a little help from our Thermador appliances.

On a bar cart or sideboard, create an elegant vignette composed of a toasting beverage, a selection of wine and champagne glasses, candles and decadent treats. Serve up a fine wine or bubbly selected from your Thermador wine fridge that you’ve been saving all year for this special occasion and pop it in a pretty glass wine chiller filled with diamond-shaped ice from your Thermador freezer. Offer a selection of wine glasses to suit the type of wines you’re offering your guests.

The timeless appeal of white bone china dinnerware elevates any celebration. You never have to worry about washing your delicate dinnerware and stemware with the Thermador Star Sapphire® dishwasher.

When all the celebrating has come to an end, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a hot beverage prepared barista-style with Thermador’s built-in automatic coffee machine. Suitable for hot or cold tea, coffee and cocoa these pretty tempered-glass mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe and perfect for any anytime, morning or night, when you crave a delicious hot beverage.
