3 SEASONING Apart from everything I mention here, if you do not have great seasonings in your kitchen then none of it matters! You must have a good salt, a great black pepper and for me, there is never enough herbs and spices, you can create so much with just a few pinches of something different! All mine come from Steenbergs who have, literally, everything. Take a look www.steenbergs.co.uk 4 Food Processor For me, this has to be the most important piece of equipment in my kitchen, you can do so much with it. Now, how much you spend depends on your budget, but, the biggest thing to consider when choosing any processor is the size of the bowl! Some of the most expensive processors have tiny bowls which makes it difficult when you are trying to prepare for more than two people, so bowl size first! Lakeland have a great selection for every type of budget, the one shown here is at the top end of budget but there really is something for everyone here. www.lakeland.co.uk/ Kitchen Knife 5 I cannot stress how important a good knife is. It makes a huge difference to presentation on the plate, but choose a knife that feels right in your hand. It is not the same for everyone and choose a knife that is whole, not with a separate handle, you want the energy of cutting to be evenly spread. www.internationallifestylemagazine.com
