Former restaurant owner and cookery writer Ann has since lived with five different AGAs and has grown to love AGA cooking. “I wouldn’t be without one now,” she says. The cream AGA in Ann’s 17th century manor house is an early installation, complete with the tap on the bottom oven door. The kitchen’s traditional look remains, with the AGA, a small sink in the corner, a large table and a pamment tiled floor. Through the central chimney, the AGA’s heat climbs up to the bedroom above the kitchen, ensuring constant hot water and never any need to iron. “It’s really the most economical thing in the world,” says Anne. The two Lancashire Heeler dogs, Bon Ami and Charlie, live by the AGA in the winter, becoming a “total nuisance” for Anne when she’s trying to cook her favourite Mediterranean roasted vegetables. |
