Core Kitchen 10 Piece Silicone Utensil Set in Assorted Colours with Overformed Solid Core

Product Information

That impression is only enhanced when you take a seat in the dining room, as I did towards the end of lunch, and a procession of plates from the kitchen starts to arrive at your table. Core represents a mixing of Smyth’s classical French training and British soul; its tasting menu features dishes such as “Isle of Mull scallop tartare with a sea vegetable consommé”; and “morel and wild garlic tartlet with Fluffetts Farm egg yolk and vin jaune”.

All pans are suitable for gas hobs. Remember to regulate the flame to prevent it from extending beyond the base of the pan, as this can damage the handle and waste gas. It sells large kitchen appliances from a range of brands, all fitted at extra cost. However, Magnet doesn't sell flooring or wall tiles.

Smyth found her vocation very early in life. She grew up on a farm in Northern Ireland, on the Antrim coast. The youngest of three, she remembers being competitive in everything – from helping out with lambing, to show-jumping trials, to bread-making. Her father ran the farm and was a horse-trainer, driving his kids in the same spirit. Smyth took those lessons to heart. Having helped her mother in the kitchen and worked in local restaurants, she came across a cookery book by Anton Mosimann and knew exactly who she wanted to be. To pursue that ambition, she left school and home at 16, largely against her parents’ wishes, after having organised for herself a live-in apprenticeship at Grayshott Hall hotel in Surrey. She was a commis chef at Bibendum at 18, then persuaded her culinary heroes, Michael Caines, Heston Blumenthal and the Roux brothers, to take her on for stints, before finding her way to the kitchen at Gordon Ramsay. Extracting all the possible flavour from one onion might take her kitchen six days Pans must have a magnetic material in the base, such as cast iron or stainless steel, to work on induction hobs. Pure aluminium or copper pans won't work.

Stainless steel pans are designed to last a lifetime, and won’t react with any food types. They’re also dishwasher safe. Stainless steel on its own is liable to hot spots, so copper or aluminium is usually incorporated into the base. When I sit down to talk with the chef after lunch, and in subsequent conversation, it’s clear those qualities haven’t changed at all. It’s hard to imagine a situation in which Smyth might not appear in unflustered control, or in which she is not eyeing up possible improvement. I wonder at one point whether she found cooking for Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding party at Windsor Castle more nerve-shredding than a usual afternoon, but she just smiled at the memory of the logistical nightmare and the attendant adrenaline rush, like an athlete remembering an Olympic final.

Fifty years ago, Leith was very much a rarity as a woman in what remained largely a man’s world, and not all that much has changed. There are still only seven kitchens run by women in the current list of 135 that have been awarded Michelin’s highest accolade. Smyth, in this sense, represents a change that has been a long time coming and still has a long way to go. Having worked in some of the most testosterone-fuelled kitchens, she is far from convinced that hormone is a necessary ingredient. “A lot of careers probably ended prematurely,” she says, of the macho culture now in retreat. “No doubt it put some people off, or attracted the wrong types.” The community-driven gym is there to make getting fit fun and the décor tells the same story. Bright coloured lights fill the space, making it feel more like a club outing rather than a spinning class. The changing rooms are minimalist but modern with exposed metal piping, large copper-framed round mirrors and industrial pendant light fixtures. These features carry through to the restaurant, contrasting against its minimal urban design with marble tables, copper accents, vintage leather furniture and plenty of greenery. It’s a privilege to be able to do things like that in life,” she said. “It’s what we train for. So, yeah, I loved that.” Copper has excellent heat conductivity. Good copper pans are very expensive but should last a lifetime. As this metal can react with acidic foods, fish and meat, these pans are normally lined with tin or stainless steel to act as a barrier. You can also get hard-anodised or cast aluminium – which looks like cast iron but has the weight and good heat conductivity of aluminium.

Before you buy, you need to establish what type of cookware will be suitable for your hob. Many manufacturers put symbols on the bottom of their cookware to show which heat source it will work with.Yes, Magnet offers a free design consultation. You can choose whether you'd prefer to go in-store or have a virtual consultation. She lives, she says, for that challenge of making “something quite humble be spectacular”. She performs similar sorcery with carrots and onions. The conjuring is about sustainability as much as artistry. Any good chef, she suggests, can spend 20 minutes making a great piece of steak taste great, or make a show of truffles and caviar; but extracting all the possible flavour from a single onion might take her kitchen six days. In that painstaking effort, she believes she has found a way to close the gap between fine dining and comfort food.
