Sam and Samantha Clark of Moro hoard many an intriguing curio – a giant oven, a stone mill – and what exactly is a chekich?
We did the kitchen before we moved in to this house. It’s been 10 years though, with a young boy causing destruction every time he runs his greasy hands along the wall, so we’re about to give it a lick of paint. We put all the modern gadgets we find so ugly in the back, out of sight, so only the things we love are out front. We wanted somehow to bring the outside space into the kitchen, so we had a French company that specialises in greenhouses and conservatories make some beautiful glass doors that open out on to it.
Our 1950s enamel cooker came from the kitchens of Westminster Abbey. It’s so beautifully designed; it’s practically indestructible. It has a huge catering oven, which can fit our largest 100-litre pot – we cooked a tagine for 2,000 people in it last week.
