Lulu’s lowdown
Everything you need to know about food trends and techniques
Ihave a love-hate relationship with the contents of my kitchen cupboard and drawers. I love everything from my partially melted blue spoon for stirring, to my expensive and well looked-after Japanese knife and largely redundant crab claw crackers. I hate the fact that no matter how many times I tidy, I still can’t seem to find half of it when I want it.This is particularly true of cake tins, which seem to restack themselves when I’m not looking, losing bases as they do. Anyway, this page isn’t about tidying, it’s about what I, and perhaps you, actually need in the kitchen, the things that make cooking easier.
