FFF LOVES… their life saving recipes with chic twist. Be sure to check out their 30 minute meals - we swear by the Linguine with Chilli, Crab and Watercress, and Eton Mess.

What are your staples?
We both keep a well-stocked pantry so that we always have the basics on hand if we need to whip up a quick pasta dinner or a cake, but some things you’ll never find us without are chickpeas, quinoa, coconut milk, pickles and extra-dry vermouth (a great substitute for white wine in most recipes).

What are your indulgences?
Truffle oil, artisan cheeses, Nutella and good-quality chocolate.

What can’t you live without?
Espresso (we each have a Baby Gaggia espresso machine) and Maldon sea salt.

What is past its use-by-date?
Some jam from Kelly’s grandma, herbal tea, a jar of curry paste and a dusty bottle of malt vinegar.

What is your pantry craving?
Kelly wants vanilla beans and Kristin hankers after canned chipotles in adobo sauce.
