From earth to plate: a kitchen for everyday cooking

Cooking for a large household may sound like an undertaking, but by setting up a kitchen with the best tools and ingredients for the task at hand, this shared home enjoys delicious food every day.

An organised kitchen is hard to beat

Finding what you need at a glance is an essential part of a smooth cooking experience. Deeper drawers house dry ingredients in glass bottles, while knives and cutlery in interior organisers live in the shallow drawers above. Keeping everything out of the way means surfaces are ready for food preparation.

Eating with the changing seasons

Pickling, preserving and drying; there are many great ways to take the fresh things grown in pots and in the ground and enjoy them for many months to come. Labelled jars and tins are a great way to keep track of what has been made and when.

Setting the table with a classic base

Whether a fancy affair or a casual lunch, white dinnerware always delivers! Offset against water hyacinth placemats and coloured glass, the final look feels rustic and warm – perfectly paired with fresh pasta.

Today’s leftovers are tomorrow’s treats

The meal is done and while the dishes are washed with homemade dishwashing liquid, any leftovers are stored in stackable transparent food containers and placed in the fridge to be easily found and enjoyed tomorrow. The only question left is which lucky person will get to them first?
