EAT & DRINK

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.
