Cooking in the bathroom!

June 18th, 2012 | Bodega

Anyone who has visited our Bodega will know that on the first floor we have a large function room and tasting bar. There is a capacity to seat about 50 people around half a dozen refractory style tables – all very nice, except there is one small but significant technical problem….. we have no kitchen! Quite honestly this has always puzzled me a bit, especially as so much of our bodega was so thoughtfully designed.

Behind our tasting bar we have a small fridge and a simple microwave, and as such our lunches in the office have always been limited to sandwiches, salads or anything that can be re-heated in the microwave. Not a very inspiring menu choice….. until now.

Over the last couple of weeks, our super-handyman Fran has built us a kitchen. Using a small loo (bathroom, restroom, cloakroom or toilet – depending on where you come from) and an area of adjacent corridor we now have a small, but beautifully hand-built kitchen, complete with oven, hotplates and most importantly a kettle for making tea! This doesn’t mean that we are now going to start catering for weddings in our function room, but it does at least that we will have a much better choice of snacks and meals at lunch time. No doubt I will still be responsible for all the cooking, as I am at home. (It’s just as well that Angela doesn’t read this blog).
