Celebrity chef James Martin will be the main course as Redrow gets set to serve up its delicious show apartment at the tempting Celestia venture in Cardiff Bay this weekend.

Developer Redrow is opening the doors to its stunning new duplex show apartment this Saturday (January 27th), and to whet the appetite of budding home buyers even more, TV favourite James will be finding time in his busy schedule to be the main attraction in the show apartment’s top specification kitchen.

He will be there from 12.30pm to provide a series of fun packed cooking demos and cook up some tasty treats.

Yorkshire-born James is one of television’s most popular chefs, with a host of TV credits to his name, and author of several hugely successful cookery books.

Bev Wookey, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales) said: “Celestia is a star in its own right at Cardiff Bay and we thought it only fitting so have another ‘star’ on hand to help us launch the new two-level show apartment in total style.

“We’re all really excited about the day and hopefully Cardiff’s home buyers are too – we’re expecting a huge turnout so would encourage people to get there early. James’ cooking skills will undoubtedly show off the top-rate specification kitchen of our apartments to their full potential.”      
The venue for James’ cooking master class is a fabulous two-bedroom property that has been given the ultimate makeover by professional interior designers, Connections in Design.

Bev continues: “The interior design has undoubtedly been influenced by the very latest trends from the catwalk.

“The apartment is sleek and luxurious with a rich colour palette of cobalt blue with golds and deep mustards. A combination of black gloss and black mirror finish furniture heightens the home’s stylish contemporary feel.

“Bespoke artwork has been installed and an exciting feature piece adorns the curved stair wall, adding to the apartment’s allure. The open plan living, dining and kitchen area is both glamorous and practical while also making the most of the amazing views over Cardiff, the Bay and the Severn estuary.”

The new apartment completes Celestia’s glamorous ‘shop window’, with a second show home dressed by stylish Cardiff furniture store, Maskreys, and a further view apartment, fitted with carpets, blinds and light fittings also open at the development.
