I am relocating for a year and we will obviously be having a couple of traunks shipped out. My problem is I can' decide which kitchen stuff I am going to take.
We will probbly be living in a furnished apartment which will most likely have all the basics, and in Italy I guess we will be eating out a lot (following the theory of make hay while the sun shines!)
But.......can I really do with out my favourite cake tins? How many cook books are excessive? I am resigned to leaving my old frinds like chopping board and pestle and mortar, and the wooden spoon that always seems to somehow stir better than all the others, but what about my wonderful spatula? If I take my cake tins (lets put a limit on say, 4 tins.) if I bake I'll need to scrape!
I am going to get a copy of the great Italian cook book "il cucchiaio d'argento" and if I take, say my brilliant Prue Leith cookery bible and a couple of other favourites with emphasis on good ingrediants available, and probably better, in Italy.....a limit of 5?
I wonder what advice you guys will have? Has anyone else done this expat thing?
