things we’re loving right now

1. Eating seasonally. We always love to talk food but when the seasons change it gives us a new topic to discuss, what is local and in season? Fennel is one vegie that’s currently got me captivated thanks to my Mum and luckily Autumn is the perfect time for it! 2. Ankle boots. They seem to be everywhere as winter approaches but I still haven’t found the perfect pair. This pair from Gorman is pretty close though!   3. Learning new Italian words such as farfallone which means a big butterfly or colloquially used to refer to someone who flirts a lot! 4. Thick, delicious Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey. My boyfriend is even getting up in time for breakfast before work when he knows he can have this slathered on rye bread with butter. Plus the tin is super cute on my kitchen bench. What are you loving right now? Love, your angel,

What my mother taught me

Here at Kitchen Angel we love our Mum’s. They are our constant guides, inspiring us every day and always offering unconditional love and support. We thought with Mother’s Day coming up we would ask some of our staff and regular visitors what their mothers taught them!   Georgina (nearly 4) – How to do nice things & cuddle.   Paolo (31) – How to be on time, be accountable & how to  iron, wash and cook!   Dina (66) – To always wash your face & comb your hair first thing in the morning.   Laura (37) – That you don’t need recipes to cook, how to make my bed & an obsession with coffee. Oh and I can’t forget that she taught me my love of fashion!   Trudy (26) – To always be considerate and kind. To be open minded, love animals and to trust my creativity!   Julian (6) – How to
