Queen of the Kitchen

As you've probably gathered, I consider myself something of a domestic goddess. I mean, obviously I'll end up following the Cheevers tradition of outsourcing all domestic duties. But for now I consider myself pretty stellar in the kitchen. I am, in a word, awesome.

And yet, since Xmas I haven't so much as cooked dinner for my flatmate, let alone a table-full of guests. So when a certain new culinary concept offered to let us test out their new business, I jumped at the chance.

Run by Michelin-starred chef, Thierry Laborde, and his entrepreneurial business partner, Natalie Richmond, Kitchen essentially allows you to cook top notch food, without all the hassle. When you arrive, all the organic, locally-sourced ingredients are already laid out, ready and waiting for you to just piece them together into full meals.

With mouth-watering entrées like Organic Salmon and Smoked Haddock Fish Cake or Stuffed Mediterranean Round Courgettes with Niçoise Vegetables, and a fortnightly changing menu, this is essentially the solution for those of us who want to eat well, but don't have the time.

And the best thing: when people ask, you can say you made the gourmet offering yourself. Because, hey, truth is: you did.

  • Piece of Cake

    Some say it’s better than sex. So it’s apt that London’s latest bakery is appearing in a derelict Soho sex shop, courtesy of fashion favourite Patrick Cox and Cake Boy’s Eric Lanlard. Oh crumbs...

  • Sibling Rivalry

    {mosimage}

    Little sisters steal your make-up. Younger brothers reveal your porn stash. But we’re coming around to the idea of younger siblings - especially when they’re as charming as the latest slew of restaurant sister-sites popping up around Londontown, including Polpo’s newest baby, Polpetto.

  • The Only Way Is Out, Ba-by

    {mosimage}

    London has it’s fair share of outdoor spots. And for sure nothing breaks the daily grind quite like a leisurely lunch in the wild with friends (preferably attractive ones: you’re on show here, remember). But fancy an al fresco nibble and all too often you find yourself with yet another slither of a Pret or a disappointingly greasy local Chinese. And just try getting a table out in the fresh, balmy air without at least 24 hours notice… Oh how those waiters laugh.

  • Lick This

    {mosimage}

    Looking for a way to cool down this summer? Time to stuff the frozen yogurt, take your tongue out of the freezer and wrap it around some of the city’s chicest new gelato joints – and they’re not too calorific either.

  • Feeding Frenzy

    {mosimage}

    Strawberries with cream, picnics in the park and canapés in the courtyard – a gastro-spread which only points to one thing – summer. But if traditional fare isn’t tickling your taste buds, there’s a new crop of quirky cuisine to tempt you away from the green.
