INVEST IN A FEW GOOD
KITCHEN UTENSILS
The utensils provided in student
accommodation are so flimsy it can
sometimes put you off cooking alto­
gether. There are two knives you will
use over and over again, the chopping
knife and the bread knife. You could
get a whole set but if you get a good
version of those two you won’t need
much else. Other items to invest in are
a decent vegetable peeler, a spatula,
a chopping board, a stainless steel
saucepan, a baking tray and a handheld
blender. A frying pan is also handy but
often there is one already provided if
you are renting a house. Some utensils
and kitchenware can be a bit of an
investment, so don’t be afraid to ask
for them as a Christmas or birthday
present. CL
