Jamie Oliver at home
- Jamie Oliver (real name James Trevor)— chef of the Fifteen restaurant chain, TV presenter (the culinary show «Living Deliciously with Jamie Oliver» was broadcast on REN TV), author of six cookbooks. Signature dish is fried chicken: «I first cooked it at the age of eight — I wanted to appease my father by grabbing another «pair» at school. When he smiled contentedly, I realized: legs are the most important thing in a man's life!»
My kitchen is a mess — sorry,misspoke, creative chaos! But everything is in full view: dishes, cutlery, food. The interior is very simple, not distracting from the main activity. In the middle there is a wooden one, on which I conjure: chop, squeeze, cut and mix ingredients. Along the perimeter of the room there are cabinets with a built-in dishwasher, wine refrigerators and other equipment, as well as shelves for storing dishes and supplies. A few words about the kitchen equipment. Let's start with the stove: I prefer gas models to electric ones. They allow better control of the temperature.
Trusted manufacturers are AEG, Hotpoint and Smeg.The frying pans should be sturdy and have a non-stick coating, I use the Professional Series from Tefal. Now, let's get down to the spicier stuff: when it comes to knives, the principle "a miser pays twice!" applies. I wouldn't recommend buying a big cheap set of cutters, it won't last long anyway. Knives from Victorinox, Global and Sabatier are more expensive, but more reliable. I'll tell you about my latest invention - a homemade barbecue. Put a piece of granite of a suitable size in the oven - the stone will serve as an excellent baking sheet for frying fish on the bone, lamb chops and pizza. It will taste almost the same as in a large stone oven. Tested!
