“Hey babe, what do you want for dinner?” In our house it’s Luis Cooks (as opposed to Andy – or Paco, as the photos might suggest!), so when it comes to the kitchen – and all the gadgets we have littering the countertop – it’s his domain. Having invested in the Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Flip Mini Oven about a year ago, and seeing just how often we used it (and how much its saved us energy-bill-wise by forgoing use of the
One thing I’ve come to realise having lived alone for a couple of years is just how important a role music – and sound in general – plays in my life.
