Do you have fond memories of your childhood kitchen?
On Sundays I would go into the kitchen with my father and make jam tarts but they must have been really nasty because I remember just mixing flour and water together to make pastry and then putting jam in from some random pot from the back of the cupboard. Making all my relatives eat them was very entertaining.
Are there any objects from your childhood kitchen that inspire you today?
I don't think I'm inspired by anything from my childhood kitchen, mainly because it was such a long time ago and I would hope no kitchen utensil would have withstood the test of time!
What's your current kitchen like?
My current kitchen is very crisp. It's a very soft aqua colour in a high gloss lacquer finish. The equipment is sleek and the storage is very practical.
What would be your number one piece of advice for a kitchen refurbishment project?
Firstly start condensing; you can get rid of an awful lot of stuff in your kitchen. The best thing I did in my kitchen was use the high gloss lacquer finish for the cupboards and a caesar stone surface; it makes it so easy to keep clean.
Do you enjoy cooking and entertaining?
I don't know how to cook but I do love to entertain.
What's your signature dish?
I make a mean affogato by pouring espresso over vanilla ice cream. Everyone loves the quality coffee taste and you can make it look special in a beautiful glass or china piece.
What household objects define your kitchen style?
It would have to be my Nespresso machine; it's simple, stylish, easy to use and easy to clean. It has an instant result and produces a quality finish everytime I use it. It's a great way to impress my guests!
