How KF Kitchens created Kim’s ‘forever’ kitchen

sk Kim Bamford what she loves most about her new kitchen, and she reels off a long list which covers just about everything, and that includes never having to upgrade her kitchen ever again: “I wanted a forever kitchen, and now I’ve got one,” she says.

Kim booked an appointment to visit the KF Kitchens showroom at Faraday Mill, where she was given a tour by designer, Nathan Damarell. Nathan outlined the ballpark figure of each element of the kitchen and a rough overall cost, which gave Kim an immediate understanding of what was possible.

The second step was for Nathan to visit Kim’s home in Torpoint, to discuss and create a design: “I’d drawn a sketch of what I wanted, and I knew what I definitely didn’t want,” said Kim. “When Nathan visited, he made some great suggestions about how we could best use the space, which we hadn’t thought of.

Between us, we decided where things should go, and it was then just a case of choosing the finer details, like the colour. It was a nice, simple process.”

One of Nathan’s suggestions was to move the patio doors to where they are now, creating a natural

thoroughfare from the dining area to the garden: “That was a brilliant idea, so we got someone in to do that before we had the kitchen fitted,” said Kim. Another conundrum to solve was the rear of the stairwell, which backs onto one corner of the kitchen.

Nathan’s solution? To install an open shelf unit in rustic wild oak, complete with lighting.

Following her tour of the KF Kitchens showroom and Nathan’s visit, Kim chose a kitchen by the German company, Nolte. The tall units alongside the ovens are in deep blue soft matt, with the base and wall cupboards offering a contrast in platinum grey matt. The worktop is 20mm in Ethereal Noctis Quartz by Silestone , and there’s a second eyecatching open shelf unit with lighting.

The flooring is Karndean, and all the appliances are by Neff – including the two oven combination, which has an integrated microwave and an oven with a slide-and-hide door. And you’d never guess there was a central heating boiler on the wall, as it’s now concealed in one of the cabinets.

The end result meets all of Kim’s hopes and expectations: “It’s a total transformation. I wanted a double oven in a block with tall cupboards in a dark colour, and it looks absolutely fantastic, it really stands out as a feature. The discreet handles in brushed steel are classy, and the worktop is beautiful. When the flooring was put down at the end, it just brought the whole kitchen together.”

The kitchen is the same size as before and the design retains the previous peninsula style kitchen: “But I’ve got double the storage space now,” said

Quote OM when responding to adverts

Kim. “And there’s more room to move around as well because the space is being used better. It’s much lighter and brighter than the kitchen I had before. It looks bigger, even though it’s not.”

The kitchen took around three weeks to fit, and that includes ripping out and replacing the ceiling. All the work was done by KF Kitchens – the electrics, plumbing, plastering, decorating, and fitting: “They were absolutely fantastic workmen, and all very respectful,” said Kim. “They communicate with each other so that everyone’s ready when it’s their turn to come in. It was like clockwork.”

For Kim, investing in her beautiful kitchen with high-end integrated appliances has given her everything she wanted: “We’re going to be staying here for the foreseeable future, so we wanted a kitchen that was stunning to look at, practical to use, and a lovely quality that would be a kitchen for life. And KF Kitchens have delivered us just that.”

KF Kitchens is an ambitious, local, family business that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in a kitchen. From the moment you walk through the door of their studio, everything becomes possible and available to you, to achieve your dream kitchen.

How is this possible? For a quick look, check out their website (www. kfkitchens.co.uk), social media on Instagram (@kfkitchens) or Facebook.

HAVE YOURSELF A SUSTAINABLE LITTLE CHRISTMAS With Christmas in close proximity, it is all too easy to forget the positive eco-friendly advances we have made and switch to panic buying mode. It is time to slow down the Christmas shopping experience and think greener.

I

think we can all agree that when it comes to Christmas, the excitement and the pressure gets to us all and a little bit of panic buying comes in to play. The pressure built up to ensure Christmas goes smoothly and nobody gets disappointed is getting bigger and bigger each year. I personally think that if we put less pressure on ourselves during this period, we would have more time to enjoy it. Christmas was never about the gifts and the money; it was always about spreading love and joy to all and spending the holiday with friends and family.

The amount of waste that comes after the Christmas period is largely fuelled by the sheer panic and excitement from shops and social media to make it the ‘best Christmas ever’. The more the merrier is the general thought process and who can blame us for thinking this way with the growing pressures of social media.

We are here to prove that you don’t need to miss out when it comes to making your Christmas more sustainable. In some areas, you can even save money by doing a bit of DIY! Eco-friendly products tend to cost more than un-sustainable, plastic items, however, they will last a lot longer which means you are saving yourself money in the long term.

Minimising your carbon footprint by sourcing products locally is the first step.

We have an editorial in this issue all about how to spend locally in Plymouth this Christmas.

Stockings are such a beautiful idea to bring a little bit of joy to your 8

omplymouthmagazine.co.uk

Christmas morning in a very large sock! To fill these very large socks is the challenge behind the joy and this is when the panic usually sets in. We have come up with some sustainable and eco-friendly ideas to put in your loved one’s stockings this year.

Firstly, ask yourself if you have anything that your kids haven’t seen before that you could hand down to them.

This could be a necklace you had when you were a teenager or an old favourite toy that has been well looked after. This meaningful gesture can go a long way as they are more likely to hold on to it as it has precious value.

Let’s not forget about the traditional satsuma at the bottom of every stocking! If forgotten, this will go mouldy and leave a foul stench at the bottom of your stocking!

The essentials that go into every stocking are pants and socks, this can be bought ethically by sourcing good quality products that are made to last. This means less will be thrown out. When your trusty sock does get a hole in or is running thin after many years, make sure you discard them in a clothes recycling point which can be found at many tips and clothing stores.

Opt for package-free products.

Shampoo and soap bars are a great alternative to your everyday plastic bottles. These bars tend to last longer and often have all-natural ingredients in which are more sustainable and healthier for the planet. You can buy a soap dish to keep them dry when you are not using them.

For kids, Play in Choc is a great way to add a sweet treat but without the plastic. Inside their boxes is a bar of delicious chocolate along with a cardboard animal that they can piece together. And when they get tired of playing with it, it can be easily recycled. And for the sweet tooth, support your local sweet shop and grab a pick and mix. Often, they will be in paper packets where no plastic is involved! You can also avoid waste by choosing only their favourite sweets.

Everybody gets excited when they see the first shoot of a plant they have nurtured come through. This is why putting in a packet of seed to their stocking may not be as daft as it sounds. If you opt for flower seeds, this will also attract bees!

Another must-have in any child’s stocking is some stationary. You can now purchase recycled pens and pencils from certain shops for

HOME & PROPERTY example; www.remarkable.co.uk and www.wearthlondon.com- You can find a range of eco-friendly items on both of those websites too. A candle to set the Christmas mood is always a great stocking filler however, candles are not good for the environment as you are essentially burning a fossil fuel as most contain paraffin. To avoid these candles, look for words on the candles packaging such as ‘natural, organic, coconut wax, rapeseed wax etc.’ You can also buy candles that have been recycled. A great shop to go for that is ‘The Recycled Candle Company’ in Exeter.

It is all too easy to be tempted by the smell of freshly ground coffee whilst walking through the city but make sure you’ve got your reusable mug! Add one of these to your loved one’s stocking for a great gift and to save money on your next coffee! A lot of cafes and Baristas will offer a discount if you bring your own reusable coffee cup!

So now your stockings are filled with eco-friendly goodness, let’s get on to the main presents!

Although wrapping paper has got the word ‘paper’ in it, most wrapping paper is not recyclable as it contains foil, glitter or plastic. Brown paper packaging tied up with string is the way forward! Actually, I think it looks a lot prettier and you can add your own personalised touch to it with some foliage, dried orange, and maybe even a stamp using eco-friendly vegetable ink! If you want some more colour to your packages, we recommend www.re-wrapped.co.uk, they have a wide range of Christmassy designs all made from vegetable ink!

When Christmas shopping- remember to take your bags for life with you to avoid having to take any unnecessary plastic bags home with you.

Christmas is the time for all things sparkly; glitter, sequins, tinsel, baubles, fairy lights and everything in-between.

Unfortunately, all of those lovely sparkly items are made from plastic and are non-recyclable and often get washed down the sink and end up in our oceans. On a positive note, ecofriendly glitter exists! Try to refrain from using tinsel and make your own paper chains or homemade garlands that can have longer-lasting properties and are less harmful to the environment.

Baubles should be a family heirloom and stored with care so that they can come out of hiding each year and Quote OM when responding to adverts

look spectacular. If you are in need of an extra bauble or two, avoid ones with glitter or that are made from plastic. Head to the high-end stores that offer quality baubles that are less likely to break over the years. Or, make your own Christmas decorations! Have a forage in your local woodland and pick some beautiful pinecones to hang on the tree. And if you are feeling peckish, make some Christmas biscuits, punch a hole through them, tie with string and you’ve got an adorable decoration that won’t go to waste!

By now, you may have planned your Christmas card recipient list but before you buy the cards, give them a little something extra this year. www.earthbits.com are a UK based company that produce all sorts of eco-friendly products as well as Christmas cards! The unique thing about these cards is that when you are ready to throw them away, you can take them out of the bin and in your back garden as these cards have seeds in! By buying these cards, you are essentially giving them a card and a gift that keeps on giving!

Most Christmas trees are green, but not all Christmas trees are green for the planet.

When it comes to buying your Christmas tree this year, make sure you are sourcing it as local as possible.

And when January comes, make sure you contact www.recycledevon.org/ recycle-your-christmas-trees as they can collect your tree and recycle it!

Renting a Christmas tree is the new trend this year! If you are local to a farm that grows and sells Christmas trees, depending on the farm, you can rent it from them and come January, they will come and collect it from you and then re-plant it for next year!

Did you know- It takes 20 years for an artificial tree to become ‘greener’ than a real one.

However, if you do prefer the ease of an artificial tree, or perhaps you need it for allergy reasons, you can still be mindful about the tree you choose.

Some artificial trees are recyclable or made from biodegradable materials.

With all of these sustainable Christmas ideas, we hope this has inspired you to think outside the box and adopt an eco-friendly Christmas this year without compromising out on a thing!

Celebrate National Spa Week this year at none other than Gaia Spa. Prioritise some self-care and relaxation, decompress and destress and indulge in some new treatments.

W

e’re reminded to take a step back from the hamster wheel of life and invest our physical and mental health.

Where better to give ourselves a much needed break and a good old pamper than the award winning, GAIA Spa. Designed to achieve and maintain natural harmony, wellness and balance, you will find spaces created for natural relaxation as well as the Spa’s facilities and therapies to nourish the mind, body and spirit.

There are some newer additions to GAIA Spa’s treatment repertoire which are delivered by our team of expert GAIA therapists and with our premium Skincare Brand GAIA.

The Gaia Journeys is a combination treatment which means two treatments in one. For example, Calming Journey includes a back, neck, and shoulder massage but also includes an Indian head massage, making GAIA Journey fantastic for a whole-body experience.

Following the GAIA Spa Ethos of “Mother Earth”, they’ve created treatments specifically for pregnant ladies. The Mother GAIA includes an exfoliating back treatment alongside a massage which has been specifically adapted for pregnancy.

Following this, expecting mothers will enjoy a bump massage which focuses on alleviating muscular aches in stressed areas, helping the mum-to-

be to feel relaxed and restored. With any treatment, guests can enjoy free access to all Gaia Spa facilities such as the relaxation room, pool, hot tubs, steam rooms and much more.

Gaia Spa’s day spa packages not only include a treatment and access to the spa but they also include dining in the Spatisserie – which is above the spa and can be visited whilst in spa robes. Relax and enjoy an indulgent afternoon tea with a glass of champagne or sample an array of nourishing lunches and brunch dishes.

Enhance your natural wellness and enjoy National Spa Week at Gaia Spa.

Winter

Warmers It’s officially sweater weather (jumper season) and time to stoke that log burner. Let’s warm our cockles with some comforting dishes.

Bangers & Mash Serves - 4

Ingredients • 1 tbsp sunflower oil FOR MASH • 8 pork/ veggie sausages • 1 kg potatoes, • small knob of butter peeled and cut • 3 small onions, finely sliced into large chunks • 1 thyme sprig • 100ml whole milk • 1 bay leaf • 50g cold butter, • pinch of sugar diced • 1 heaped tsp plain flour • grating of • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar nutmeg • 1 glass red wine • 1 tsp soy sauce • 400ml 1 stock shot or cube

1

2 3

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and gently sizzle the sausages over a medium-high heat for 8-10 mins, turning them, until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate, then put the butter in the pan and heat until sizzling. Scatter in the onions, stirring them into the butter, then add the thyme sprig, bay and sugar.

Give everything a final stir, then put the sausages on top and drizzle over any juices from the plate. Roast everything for 20 mins, turning the sausages halfway through.

Meanwhile, make the mash. Tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10-12 mins or until just cooked all the way through (the tip of a knife should slide in easily). Drain in a colander and leave for a minute. Tip the milk into the pan and bring to a simmer, then pass the potatoes through a ricer into the hot milk and mash thoroughly. Once mashed, beat with a wooden spoon or spatula over very low heat, then beat in the butter a few bits at a time. You should have extra-fluffy, smooth mash. Keep it warm.

When the sausages are cooked, remove from the oven, turn the oven off and lift the sausages onto a tray. Return them to the oven to keep warm. Put the pan back on the heat and give the roasted onions a stir, they should be sticky and slightly burnt around the edges. Sizzle for a minute or two more to caramelise, then stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Splash in the vinegar, simmer for a minute, then pour over the red wine and soy, and bubble down to a gloopy paste. Pour over the stock and boil for 3-4 mins, or until you have a rich gravy. If you prefer, scoop out the thyme and bay, or just leave it in. Tip into a bowl or gravy jug with a serving spoon for the onions. Bring everything to the table and scoop a big mound of mash onto the middle of each plate, then top with the sausages and gravy.

Rice Pudding Serves - 4 - 6

Ingredients • 800ml whole milk • butter, for the dish • 170ml double cream • 130g pudding rice • grating of nutmeg • 70g caster sugar • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste • fruit jam of your choice, to serve or pod seeds scraped out

28

1 2

Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and butter a 1.5-litre baking dish. Put the pudding rice, sugar, vanilla, milk and cream in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and grate over a generous layer of nutmeg. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins until a brown skin has formed on top and the rice is cooked and tender.

Leave to cool slightly, then scoop the warm pudding into bowls and serve with a dollop of jam on top.

FOOD & DRINK

Summer-inWinter Chicken Serves - 4

Ingredients • 1 tbsp olive oil • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts • 200g pack cherry or sun-dried tomatoes • 3 tbsp pesto • 3 tbsp crème fraîche (half fat is fine) • fresh basil, if you have it

1

Heat the oil in a frying pan, preferably non-stick. Add the chicken and fry without moving it until it takes on a bit of colour. Turn the chicken and cook on the other side. Continue cooking for 12-15 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Season all over with a little salt and pepper.

2

Halve the tomatoes and throw them into the pan, stirring them around for a couple of minutes until they start to soften. Reduce the heat and stir in the pesto and crème fraîche until it makes a sauce. Scatter with a few basil leaves if you have them, then serve with rice and salad or mash and broccoli.

Lentil soup Serves - 4

Ingredients • 2l vegetable or ham stock • 150g red lentils • 6 carrots, finely chopped • 2 medium leeks, sliced (about 300g) • small handful of chopped parsley, to serve

3

Divide the icing between bowls, add the desired food colourings to each bowl. Spread the icing evenly over the biscuits and once the icing has set, decorate with the writing icing.

Heat the stock in a large pan and add the lentils. Bring to the boil and allow the lentils to soften for a few minutes.

Add the carrots and leeks and season (don’t add salt if you use ham stock as it will make it too salty). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 mins until the lentils have broken down. Scatter over the parsley and serve with buttered bread, if you like.
