Your Secret Kitchen

I'm a sucker for home magazines; I love drooling over the pictures of glossy high end kitchens from modern city chic apartments to rustic farmhouses - the ones with the hand-made-cost-a-fortune type kitchens. In those pages, it looks as if nothing gets spilled or burnt and never needs cleaning - and come with perfect children and a labrador!

The majority of us have modest, simple and most important, fully functioning culinary spaces. Does a perfect show-home kitchen mean perfect cooking every time?  Maybe, but still, we all have the opportunity to make gorgeous meals whether you have a dual fuel, 6 burner range with sous vide option or an oven that needs a broom handle to keep it shut (I've been there!). That's our philosophy at My Secret Kitchen - we want to help you make your meals more amazing regardless of how your kitchen is styled or if you have the latest kitchen gizmo or not.
Mat and Vi's Secret Kitchen

Take my nephew Mat and his girlfriend Vi - they have just moved in together and are blissfully happy and proud to be in their first place together. I asked them to share what they have been cooking in their compact and bijou little kitchen. Gracing their foot stool - spicy thai papaya salad, bangers and mash and a rather incredible-sounding dish from Vi's native Poland of fried chicken with peaches, curry powder, chillies, soy and single cream served with rice. My personal favourite was the egg and soldiers which I'm sure tasted even more fabulous because it was cooked in their own secret kitchen.



Its true what they say about the kitchen being the heart of the home and you know the one about kitchens and parties. The art of making and preparing food is magical and I hope that as our company grows we can continue to be inspirational with our foods into the heart of your kitchens.

If you'd like to send us your photos of your secret kitchen, we'd love to send you our Lemon & Chipotle Spiced Sea Salt - perfect for making pretty much anything really tasty and would be amazing with that egg :-)

So here's to your secret kitchen and to making your meals more amazing, Enjoy,
