I’ve had a few people ask me about the new kitchen suppliers. Before I continue I have to emphasise, none of the companies mentioned are sponsored mentions. I received no free products or discounts.

The kitchen is the heart of many homes. Here a little bit more so because I work in the kitchen most days testing recipes. Or at least I did up until Hallowe’en last year. Just after the day itself I managed to fall and break my wrist so cooking was put on hold for a while. Then two weeks into my cooking hiatus the grill and oven packed it in. The washing machine and dishwasher were also on their last legs so we limped them along until just after Christmas. Thanks to a combination of some savings and a generous gift we have been able to completely renovate the kitchen…
