Granite Worktops Cause Cookery-Envy

I admit it; I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to cookery. I always want the best, whether it’s the shiniest knives or the latest hi-tech blender, but a recent trip to a friend’s restaurant had the green-eyed monster out in force over the lovely granite worktops they had in the kitchen.

Not my kitchen - yet

In fact, such is my jealousy that I’ve decided that my home kitchen is getting a full remodel in order to accommodate them – that’s right, I’m going plural with these puppies. I’m not sure why, but I know I want to.

Here’s what I’m thinking: my new kitchen will have nothing but the shiniest granite worktops, nothing but the finest cookware and nothing but the sharpest knives. Basically, it’s going to be an awesome shrine to decadence, where I will always want to cook myself something healthy and tasty, I will always do the washing up and the days of running to the chip shop because I can’t be bothered to cook will be a thing of the past. My waistline will thank me but I’m not sure my wallet will.
