At Kitchen Design Centre, we’re all about making more of your kitchens. And whether your tastes lean towards cosy traditional kitchens or our ultra-chic contemporary kitchens, one thing we can all agree on is that the perfect kitchen should make cooking a pleasure, not a chore!
With that in mind, Kitchen Design Centre invited renowned chef, home economist and food stylist Ann Reynolds to lead our February cooking Masterclass last weekend. Hosted by our partner Neff, the evening gave enthusiastic cooks a chance to see a professional at work – and learn a few nifty tricks!
Ann cooked up a storm, serving visitors gourmet toasties, oat and sour cherry cookies, honey and mustard sausages, cheese scones, white chocolate and apricot tray-bake and a sumptuous raspberry roulade.
She also whipped up a delectable asparagus, mint and parmesan frittata with roasted basil tomatoes, the recipe for which you can find below.
One of this month’s Masterclass attendees, Heather Bakewell from Denton, commented on the event, saying:
“I’ve never attended a cooking masterclass before, but I thought it’d be nice to do something a bit different. With Kitchen Design Centre being in the local area, I thought I’d pop along and get some inspiration and new recipes for 2014.
“The Neff Masterclass was amazing – Ann cooked up a complete feast in less than two hours. Everyone was really friendly, and we got to try the dishes she’d cooked up, which was obviously a massive bonus!”
Our inspiring Masterclasses, hosted by kitchen appliance specialists Neff, are held regularly, so why not pop along to our next event? You’ll not only get the chance to learn some amazing recipes and cooking techniques; you’ll also be able to take a closer look at our range of state-of-the-art Neff kitchen appliances.
Our next Neff Masterclass takes place from 7-9pm on Thursday, 6th March at our Blackburn showroom. For more information, you can call a member of our team on 01254 246 046 or email blackburn@kitchendesigncentre.com. And, if you need directions, you can click here to view a detailed map.

Deciding which colour kitchen cabinets to go for can be a struggle. But why restrict yourself to one colour when you can have two? The latest two-tone kitchen cabinets trend sees designers putting different colour combinations, paint treatments and finishes together, creating colourful bespoke kitchens that have more personality. Problem solved.

There are a variety of ways that black can be worked into the kitchen to maintain balance, such as introducing a light marble to create a classic monochrome look. For something more bold and dramatic, black work surfaces and splashbacks will be paired with other black elements, such as stained or painted cabinetry or lighting for a wow-factor and opulent result.
