Author Information

Symonds has her fingers in all the KP pies and, while not behind the counter as often as she would like, makes sure the less glamorous small business tasks happen. There might now be a ban on any more branches of Kitchen Provisions in the short term, she is always looking for the next permutation of the business and more of those proverbial pies to tick our fingers in. Symonds is also a champion gift giver - whether to friends and family, or particularly for herself - with an eye for just the right present or present suggestion for any occasion. Knives, knives and more knives are what makes Saunders tick. He is happiest when waxing lyrical about the edge retention of different steels, the utility of different blade finishes, or the best stropping techniques. Fear not, it's not all whetstones and wa handles, Saunders' time in kitchens means that he is handy across the board when it comes to equipment. If he hasn't made one himself, he has definitely read up on it or has the ingredients in the cupboard to whip you up his version.
