In hun eigen woorden, vertellen sommige bekende AGA eigenaren waarom zij geloven dat AGA echt heel speciaal is:
"An AGA
is the heart of the home - it makes life so much easier and
warrmer."
Jasmine Guinness, model
"The
kitchen is my favourite retreat. It's got a fireplace where I've
put the AGA. It's transformed my attitude to cooking."
Martin Clunes, acteur
"The
kitchen was the centre of my family's life when we were growing up.
And at the centre of the kitchen was the AGA."
Mary McCartney, fotograaf
"All
those clichés are true - it really is the heart of the home."
Sophie Conran, schrijfster
"My
perfect weekend would be spending it at our farmhouse having a big
breakfast, reading the papers and listening to the Archers omnibus
edition. Then going for a long walk and coming back to eat
something that's been cooking slowly in the AGA."
Janet Street-Porter,
schrijfster/presentatrice
"We had
an AGA when I was growing up. My mother won't cook on anything
else. She simply refuses."
Tom Parker-Bowles, schrijver en
presentatrice
"The AGA
is an iconic part of British life. I've cooked on an AGA, since the
day I was born, or at least my mother did. I'm very enthusiastic
about it... This is Britain - you've got to use an AGA."
Rick Stein, chefkok
"My cat
Nigel loves sitting in front of the AGA, so I need to find him
somewhere else to sit so I can keep it clear when I'm
cooking."
Antony Worrall Thompson, chefkok
"I think
the AGA makes people better cooks; they're generally technically
better cooks because they understand cooking."
Jamie Oliver, kok/ schrijver
"I use
my AGA every day. It's nice, warm and the heart of the home. I love
it to bits."
Alex James, muzikant
"I've
had an AGA all my life. I could talk for hours about AGAs I have
known."
Emma Bridgewater, ontwerper
"There's
something about an AGA that makes it like a best friend always
there, never complaining."
Susan Hampshire, actrice
"And
I've got my AGA, so I love it."
Alastair Mackenzie, acteru
"I was
brought up around the AGA. It has always symbolised for me such
wonderful things: good food, warmth and protection I guess. I have
this abiding memory of a terrible storm in '86 or '87 and the power
being down all around us. But we were all huddled around the AGA
feeling safe and protected."
Jodie Kidd, model
"My
first home had an AGA. It was a modern home, but I love the AGA -
everyone does. There are strong emotions about it. It warms the
house and warms the room like a great big friend."
Raymond Blanc, kok en schrijver
"When
we're in the country, I'll put things in the AGA in the morning and
take them out in the evening - a low, slow organic roasting
thing."
Viscount David Linley, ontwerper
