Tom Norrington-Davies is the author of 'Cupboard Love: How to get the most out of your kitchen'. 'By dusting off ingredients that may already be lurking in your cupboard, he shows how with just a little preparation (and occasional cheating) you can easily rustle up your own ready meals at home.'
"There's a lack of artifice to Tom that has everything to do with the fact that he began his career cooking in pubs, rather than writing newspaper columns, or schmoozing with the foodie elite at Notting Hill dinner parties. A jobbing chef-cum-author, he lives a normal life in London, cycling to his local shops in Peckham, worrying about his mortgage and holidaying, when he can afford it, on the Costa Brava.
More importantly, he cooks with love, rather than gadgets or flashy equipment. His minuscule kitchen is as dark as a Vatican chapel and his pots and pans look woefully modest. There are no blowtorches, mandolines or Sabatier knives. In fact, his batterie de cuisine would make most modern chefs weep. ''I have two large saucepans and three small ones, and the only gadget I possess is an old Kenwood mixer,'' he says, happily. ''You really don't need much equipment to cook imaginatively.''
