Our great friend, Andrew Walford – master potter – makes these lovely mixing bowls. I love to use these instead of the metal ones as just the touch and feel of these utilitarian objects makes the job at hand a lot more pleasurable. We keep them out on the counter so we can just reach out and pick one up when beating an egg, serving a steaming bowl of soup or grabbing a quick cereal for breakfast.

You will meet him and his lovely wife, Leander, in a future post.
