Jamie Oliver The Big Party Kit 6-Piece Set

As the name implies, the Big Party Kit was designed by England's cheeky chef, Jamie Oliver, perhaps better known by his moniker, the Naked Chef (descriptive of his pared down ingredients, not lack of clothing). Royal Worcester turned his idea into reality with an 8-1/2-inch deep square bowl, 8-1/2-inch low square platter, and three triangular dishes of varied sizes, all of which fit neatly on an 18-by-9-inch platter. The durable porcelain keeps dips warm in the oven, reheats in the microwave, saves in the freezer, and slips right into the dishwasher for easy cleanup when the party's over. For a bonus, a few of Oliver's no-fuss recipes are included. --Ann Bieri
