I was having some friends over for dinner and crème brûlée was on the agenda — which means I needed a culinary blow torch. I tried quite a few places in St Lukes mall — Stevens had one with the ramekin dishes but we had them already. We ended up finding one in this place which works so powerfully, it’s almost scary to use. They specialise in knives and have a big selection of excellent quality knives. I bought one and must say cutting veggies is now a pleasure rather than a chore. They also sell lots of other kitchen utensils like pepper mills and thermometers. I get the impression that a lot of people are big into cooking these days and a place like this is very useful if you want to improve your skills. Some of the knives are a bit pricey but when you use one of them you will see where that extra money went and realise it’s well worth it.

I’m the first in line when it comes to making excuses… I can’t do this because I don’t have the right equipment, or I’ll do it better if my tools were better, et cetera et cetera… This was true for the kitchen too, but now no more; I’ve found a gem of a store at the St Lukes. King of Knives is your one stop shop for all your kitchen cutting needs. They’ve got slicers, dicers, cutters and mincers, you need it and they’ve got it. I restocked my whole kitchen with sharp new steak knives, and it is great to use the right stuff. I’m now the carving king of the north.
