In My Kitchen - September 2012
YIPPEE, it’s Spring, well officially anyway. With no further ado, straight into it…
In my kitchen…
Is a beautiful bone handled set of fish cutlery - now if I just had the reset of the canteen for all the other courses.
In my kitchen…
Are 4 serving spoons which I got from my MIL. They are perfect for spooning batter for cupcakes and the like – they have a lovely narrow tip which helps eliminate spillage.
In my kitchen…
Is my favourite ice cream scoop. Sadly though, I cannot remember if I bought it myself or if I received it as a gift. This past winter has clearly got to my brain.
In my kitchen…
Is a mini grater (not that you would say so from the picture though) which I use more often than my regular grater. It’s works extremely well and is perfect for single portion cheese topping.
In my kitchen…
Is ANOTHER icing nozzle. In fairness though, it is a different size – I am still hunting for “that” perfect nozzle. Hopefully this will be it. I will get cracking with some baking and let you know.
In my kitchen…
Is a gorgeous cheese board which I got as a birthday pressie a couple of years back from my Godson’s parents, very special.
What’s in your kitchen this month? Please remember to link back to Celia’s blog Fig Jam and Lime Cordial if you partake in the fun.

Been so busy lately blogging has taken a back seat and next week I’m off to England so no IMK from me this month. Those knives and forks are lovely!

Ooh, a trip to England – cool! Bet your next month’s IMK will be choc-a-block with fun buys from your trip. Have a good time and look forward to when you are back.

Mandy! What wonderful items you have in your kitchen! I love all the cutlery – I discovered fish knives recently in the drawer (as you do) and they’re so lovely that I’ve been using them to spread butter on toast! Your icecream scoop is a hoot! And I love the crab cheese board.. xx
By: Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial on September 4, 2012

Oh I love the idea of using the fish knives as butter knives Celia. I think of you each time I see the cheese board and wonder what bread you would make to accompany the cheese. Have a super day.

I love ‘em! I can’t stop thinking about the cutlery and the ice cream scoop, lol! You know I’m going out to look for similar things this weekend, lol.

I love the fish knives. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a full set like that. I love the ice cream scoop too and ice cream scoops remind me of summer – I can’t wait! xx

Charlie, I dream of the day I can have a full set – maybe one day when I am big – oh will that day ever come… Have a happy day.

Your fish cutlery is beautiful, Mandy, and must bring many compliments when set out for dinner. I think it is really quite nice that your kitchen has so many items from people you hold dear. Every month, you mention another object or two that came from a family member. They make your kitchen so much more than just a room to cook food.
By: ChgoJohn on September 5, 2012

Too true John, I do have loads in my kitchen gifted by special people – just wish I had a kitchen big enough to hold it all better. have a beautiful day.

The cheeseboard and the fish cutlery are my faves! Love that little silver crabby. Oh and Spring must have gotten delayed between your place and mine, we’re still in winter

Like I say – only officially, it’s freezing here too – I am seriously starting to get irritable with this weather – makes me miss Mauritius! Sorry that we have not connected for the photography but things have been a wee bit upside down and inside out the last short while! Hopefully we can start next week. Love to you, Terry and the fur babies.

I did not want to read this post at first because I did not want to hear you be excited about spring LOL. We are losing our crazy warm weather. Love that icing nozzle though

Kay, it is still freezing cold here – I am officially not impressed. I cannot wait for some warm weather. Have a great day.

That’s a cute ice cream scooper! And I love your cheese board. I’ve been looking for a good cheese board but haven’t found any so far that I like. I realized we don’t have fish cutlery.

Seems the ice cream scoop is favourite all round Nami. Even though I have the fish cutlery, I never use it – how sad! Have a beautiful day.

The fish cutlery is stunning! I would love those if they were in my kitchen. You lucky girl. What beauty you surround yourself with Mandy. Happy Spring!

Now I know where my ice cream scoop is (mine is hiding somewhere) and we have the same grater

Seems this is a very popular ice cream scoop Tandy. Have a lovely weekend.

I have a small grater too- but I’ve been using my microplane zester for most everything lately.
Your fish knives are lovely- love that cheese board- so handy yet elegant.
And I like the ice cream scoop, but doesn’t the handle dig into your hand? I need a smooth handle- maybe my ice cream is just too frozen.
By: heidiannie on September 9, 2012

Hi Heidi, the handle of the ice cream scoop is very comfortable and works a real treat. Have a super month ahead. I am off to see what is in your kitchen this month.

Hi Mandy – so pleased I have found your site/blog. I’ve spent this morning going through it and it’s fab! I’m a South African living in France now, and have introduced some of my friends and neighbours to the joys of vetkoek, koeksusters, and I even served bobotie at a dinner party recently. Went down very well! I’m looking forward to trying out a lot of your recipes I see on the right here. Just love your fish knives and forks…sadly not too many people use those for fish course anymore. Thanks again for a great site!

Hi Kim, welcome and thanks for stopping by! Thank you too for such a lovely compliment! Sending a warm homely South African hug to you in France.

Hi Tania, welcome and thanks for stopping by. Sadly I haven’t tried the nozzle yet – I really am itching to bake something that needs icing, so hopefully soon! Have a super day.
