The festive season is around the corner, and I\u2019m sure many of us are daydreaming about weekend getaways or longer escapes from the city \u2013 and possibly freeing up our homes for visitors to enjoy. <\/p>\n

For those who prefer self-contained accommodation to savour some alone time and prepare food for themselves, there is some basic kitchen equipment and, in my mind, essentials<\/a> that can make whipping up a simple meal either easy and effortless or slightly less disheartening.<\/p>\n

Coffee<\/h3>\n
\n

Let\u2019s start with the most important ritual of the day \u2013 coffee. Every kitchenette should make this possible. I\u2019m a fan of a moka pot on the stove or gas hob, but a French press does the job just as well. Alternatively, a simple electric kettle works perfectly. If you want to add a touch of charm, consider a whistling one \u2013 it doesn\u2019t need to be fancy, but the sound and aroma of a morning brew can set the tone for a good day!<\/p>\n

Make sure to always have extra mugs and teaspoons, and to elevate the experience, consider small portions of milk and rusks. <\/p>\n

Chopping boards and knives<\/h3>\n
\n

A thick wooden chopping board is a must. Please don\u2019t bother with the thin plastic ones \u2013 they get wrecked after just a couple of uses. A solid wooden board might feel like a bit of an investment, but from a user experience point of view, it\u2019s absolutely worth it.<\/p>\n

You also don\u2019t need big fancy knives<\/a>. The small serrated Victorinox knives <\/a> work wonders \u2013 from slicing fruit and vegetables to steak<\/a> and even bread, they\u2019re a reliable go-to staple. If you do want to invest further, a 16 \u2013 18 cm chef\u2019s knife is a great place to start.<\/p>\n
