synopsis: south-london girl moves to paris with €800, enrols at le cordon bleu cooking school and opens an underground restaurant in her 21 square metre flat. her kitchen? 2 gas rings and a small cooker. the food? amazing!
i went to a similar restaurant in budapest, no name on the door just an apartment with an open plan kitchen. we were seated around the dining room table, our place settings of mis-matched china and silverware, a menu of gourmet yet traditional hungarian dishes (with palinka of course). there was even a piano in the flat, which proved entertaining after a few glasses of wine. i love the idea of an underground restaurant, inviting people into your home for some good cooking! have you been to a restaurant like this? if you know any in london, please let me know.
i picked up her cook book at whsmith the other day for £15 and it's half romantic paris look-book/food porn and half recipes. nicely bound in blue canvas. so far, so good but there isn't much i can cook without an oven (thank goodness we're moving next month!). look this girl up!
I don't know about her cooking skills, but the kitchen sure looks great, I love this pattern, and the hanging accessories all around.
ReplyDeleteWhat I would give to have a great-looking kitchen like that... It gives me the mood to cook :)
after watching her show, she gave me hope again that you can cook great meals in the tiniest kitchen ever. i don't know if you can watch on demand bbc in canada, but if you can, you should really check out the show: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01f9r18/The_Little_Paris_Kitchen_Cooking_with_Rachel_Khoo_Episode_2/
