Don't
panic – I'm not going to drone on ad nauseam listing every shop in
Market Harborough, there's only one more recommendation and again,
for those of us who have a love of all things food related.
I
should prefix this piece with a warning - you'll have to be strong
for the next port of call. The Kitchen Range Cookshop is a
veritable Aladdin's Cave. I know we live in an age where everything
can be acquired online – that's fine if you're in a hurry and you
need whatever it now but, every now and again, it's wonderful to
mooch. The Cookshop is not huge – it's on two floors but every
single centimetre is full of kit that you can't possibly live without
– hence the warning. I have a routine – sad I know – I walk
round the shop studying everything it has to offer, then repeat. My
theory is you want everything at first glance, on second glance you
hope reason has kicked in and you're in less danger of maxing out
your credit card!
The
other reason is that I have a list of “bits” that I try and
commit to paper but generally forget – the “first glance” tour
almost always triggers that list – I am therefore pleased to report
that this wonderful shop had four items – here they are :
A
kitchen is not complete without a couple of butter pots. Fish bone
tweezers are an absolute must. The skewers are to spear my jacket
potatoes ready for baking and last, but by no means least – tongs.
The tongs are not for “cheffing”, they are really useful if, like
me, you sometimes suffer with “creaking hands” and want to
decorate or garnish dishes. If you buy tongs used in sugarcraft they
are smaller and much easier to control.
Total
cost of my continuing indulgences - £14.40 – bargain.
This
shop is not expensive for some things – you can spend a fortune if
you want to – hence my advice – do a circuit or two before you
make your choices!
