Snapshot: Rosie and Richard moved into a their barn conversion in the early 1990s. The oil-fired AGA has a Companion, attached 10 years after the AGA was installed. Busy farmers and prolific entertainers, the couple use their AGA constantly, the cooker playing a significant role in both working life and family life. “I can’t imagine working without one,” says Rosie. The AGA is used for numerous family parties and charity event meals, cooking lasagnes, fish pies and casseroles for up to 100 at a time. “The deep AGA trays are good for cooking for lots of people – I just fill them up and slot them in,” says Rosie. “The AGA is great for savoury food and making the kitchen feel warm – and it cooks better than anything else.”
Finest Hour: Rosie thinks an AGA so essential to domestic life that when each of her three sons turned 30, they were given their own AGA.
