Meet the team
At La Cucina we offer a combination of expertise and the finest selection of cookware essentials to suit everyone from the kitchen beginner to the gourmet chef. Our website features products that we highly recommend due to their performance and efficiency. Please be assured that you can purchase in the confidence that we have only selected top quality items that won't let you down.
We currently have two stores located in Northern Ireland, one in Holywood and the other on the Lisburn Road in Belfast. Proprietor Peter Nicholl heads up the team with many years of expertise in the cookware industry, both in the commercial and domestic markets.
Not only do our knowledgable staff convey to customers the key elements of products but they also use their own personal experiences or feedback from customers to draw on. Here they would like to individually talk about their own favourite products:
Zoe Anyon
Manageress, Lisburn Road
"Favoured by chefs, Global knives are my choice of weapon in the kitchen! I believe that if you are cooking everyday then it is essential to invest in a set of knives that are top quality. Keeping an edge on them is vital, I use the Minosharp which is effortless to use but the results are superb!"
Norma Lyttle
Sales Assistant, Lisburn Road
"My favourite product would have to be the Le Creuset Buffet Casserole. I love the fact I can either fry an egg on it or make a paella for the family. It also makes a very attractive centre piece on the table and more importantly is very easy to clean!"
Dorota Mojsym
Sales Assistant, Lisburn Road
"For me, worth mentioning about, are the Haiku Japanese knives. They are excellent for everday cooking and are sold at a good price. They stay sharp for a long time, just remember to hand wash them!"
Suzie de Haan
Manageress Holywood Store
"One of my favourite items has to be the Alligator Onion Chopper. Not only does it take the hassle out of cutting onions but I also don't have to wear waterproof mascara!"
