After having my small kitchen for five years and having no space - i have completely emptied it (all cupboards and surfaces)and put the room back together from scratch thinking about how i move around in it and cook and WOW! ITS LIKE I HAVE A NEW KITCHEN....and i found space for a kitchenaid freestanding mixer!  If your kitchens not working for you, try this.

For those including myself who are unable to use leaf gelatine, one sheet of gelatin is equal to about 1/2 teaspoon of gelatin powder, and like sheet gelatin you have to soak the powder in cold water to soften it before using, just measure out the 2 teaspoons, in a bowl, cover with cold water and stir, let sit for 5 minutes and then add to the hot, not boiling, fruit juices and stir.

When storing steak knives or any other really sharp ones, I place a cork saved from a bottle of wine on to the tip of the knife, saves cut fingers when you put you hand in to lift them out.
