This is what I\u2019d like our kitchen to look like…<\/h2>\r\n\u2026well organised with matching pots & utensils. A place for everything and everything in it\u2019s place. In short kitchen heaven.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"kitchen2\"<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn reality it looks like kitchen hell.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOver the years probably like most families we\u2019ve slowly collected a panoply of pots, pans, pyrex dishes and potato peelers. Our kitchen cupboards are heaving with mis-matched wok lids precariously balanced on sauce pans that no longer see the light of day let alone a light white wine sauce. Now if you\u2019re like me and fancy yourself as a bit of a master chef you\u2019ll know that the secret to great cooking is great, fresh ingredients. Well the same is true for your kitchen equipment \u2013 always have the right tools for the job as my carpenter friend would say.\r\n\r\nSo at KidStart <\/a>we are\u00a0delighted to have been asked by Waitrose to have a sneak look their lovely new range of products over on Waitrose Kitchen<\/a><\/u><\/span> (get 3% back for your kids on all purchases!). <\/strong>\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve pulled together my\u00a0top 5 must-have kitchen essentials for any self respecting foodie:\r\n\r\n \r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. 1. George Foreman compact health grill<\/a><\/span><\/span> –\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a349.99 –<\/span> Get 3% back for your kids<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n \r\n\r\n\"kitchen3\"<\/a>My kids are experts in screaming for food at the most random times, especially when the\u00a0fridge shelves are half empty. For me, sandwiches are always the star solution to these emergencies. Now that winter is coming\u00a0I\u2019m dying to try this sandwiches grill and establish warm crispy sandwiches as the official mid week\u00a0dinner meal.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n \t
    1. 2. Joules cake & biscuit tins, set of 3<\/a><\/span><\/span> –<\/strong> \u00a330\u00a0–<\/span> Get 3% back<\/a>\u00a0for your kids<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\"kitchen4\"<\/a>Who doesn\u2019t love a splash of colour among those grey pans and transparent jars we all have in the kitchen? These 3 tins are the fantastic excuse to keep baked goods from sticky fingers in style…\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      1. 3. Lekue green 3-4 person steam case with tray<\/a><\/span><\/span> –<\/strong> \u00a332.99<\/span>\u00a0–<\/span> Get 3% back for your kids<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\"kitchen5\"<\/a>Lekue is one of those brands that make my heart sing. For those who don\u2019t know them, they have an extensive range of cookery utensils that cook the healthiest food in no time. This one is my favourite: A steam case with a tray that will cook millions of dishes in the microwave, maintaining all nutrients: Rice, omelettes, veggies, salmon… you name it!\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
          \r\n \t
        1. 4. Zoku space pops lolly moulds<\/span> <\/a>–<\/span><\/span> <\/strong>\u00a317\u00a0–<\/span> Get 3% back for your kids<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\"kitchen6\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ve all been there right? Kids wanting an ice-cream, and another one, and another one. If they have been good, I let my children have 2 of these terrific home made ice creams in a row \u2013 I just freeze juice or yogurt some hours in advance into the moulds and they\u2019ll come out in crazy space shapes. They transform the kitchen in mission control!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
            \r\n \t
          1. 5. Fussy Eaters’ Recipe Book<\/a><\/span><\/span> – <\/strong>\u00a310.99\u00a0–<\/span><\/strong> Get 3% back for your kids<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\"kitchen7\"<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDespite having millions of cookbooks at home, mealtimes often are a battleground for us… I\u2019ve just ordered this Annabel Karmel\u2019s book and can\u2019t wait to see its 120 recipes, tips and advice like how to hid vegetables into familiar foods.\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhat utensils do make your life easier in the kitchen?","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"  This is what I\u2019d like our kitchen to look like… \u2026well organised with matching pots & utensils.
