英国人喜欢窥探别人生活。这不连首相府的厨房也不放过。图片里是首相的背影正在开冰箱门
THE WONDER WORKTOP
It was here that Mr Cameron tried to come across as a man of the people, by rustling up a sardine and mayo sandwich for the cameras. This shiny worktop boasts some fine kitchen gadgetry — and a rather expensive bottle of (previously-opened) red wine.
1) John West boneless sardines, 99p, waitrose.com. These are on offer (two for £1.60), accounting for the pair on the worktop. Mr Cameron has selected the sunflower oil version, rather than those drenched in olive oil — a healthy alternative for a man watching his weight.
2) Russell Hobbs Orleans kettle, £32, ao.com. Said to bring ‘class and style’ to any kitchen. It has a ‘rapid boil’ function for those in a hurry.
3) Russell Hobbs futura four-slice toaster, £24.99, currys.co.uk. The Camerons have upsized, as a two-slice Dualit toaster was pictured in their kitchen when Michelle Obama visited in 2011.
4) White tin bread, 80p, waitrose.com. This artisan bread looks homemade — but isn’t.
5) Anolon advanced suregrip knife block, £150, johnlewis.com. This five-piece set is made from heat-treated hardened Japanese steel, with soft neoprene handles.
6) Jim Barry Wood McRae Shiraz, £29.99, ocado.com. This lavish shiraz may be expensive, but it’s currently on a tempting offer if you buy in bulk.
7) Fine sea salt crystals, 67p, waitrose.com.
8) Carte Noire freeze-dried instant coffee, £6.50, ocado.com. The Camerons are self-professed coffee addicts and have a special machine (the Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine, £355) for proper brews, but rely on instant a quick caffeine hit.
9) PG Tips tea, £4.49, ocado.com. The everyday builders’ variety. These pyramid tea-bags seem to be kept in a branded caddy: this one, with a picture of Wallace and Gromit on the front, was available for only a few months in 2006, so must have been in the kitchen for a while. Perhaps it reminds them of Ed Miliband.
10) GreenPan Venice frying pans, £30-£65, johnlewis.com. These heavy-duty pans come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are said to be both eco-friendly (made with 60 per cent less CO2 than the average pan) and non-stick. On the far right is a large casserole dish.
HOT STUFF IN THE LARDER
A walk-in larder is every kitchen-obsessive’s dream, and they don’t come better stocked than this.
11) Vegetable spiralizer, £29.95, juiceland.co.uk. This space-age gadget, which shreds vegetables such as carrots and courgettes into spaghetti-like ribbons, is a staple in trendy households. This version by Spiralz/Helmsley and Helmsley looks suspiciously like it’s never been used.
12) Groovy Food virgin coconut oil, £5.99, ocado.com.
13) Goldenfields pure rapeseed oil, 1l, £1.75, ocado.com. This and the coconut oil are lighter alternatives to olive oil, suggesting Mr Cameron’s get-slim-for-the-election bid is in full swing.
14) This isn’t salad, as observers first thought, but bundles of fresh herbs clipped together with a pink peg. Herbs such as basil and rosemary shouldn’t be kept in the fridge, so the Camerons are right to store them in a cool place at the bottom of in their larder.
15) Waitrose fresh fruit orange marmalade, £1.39, waitrose.com.
16) Essential Waitrose mint jelly, £1.09, waitrose.com.
17) Marmite, £3.75, tesco.com.
18) Whole Earth organic crunchy peanut butter, £2.68, ocado.com. This array of preserves was photographed on the Camerons’ table just last month, when Samantha hosted a breakfast for two children from the charity Contact A Family.
19) Zatar seasoning, £3.29, bart-ingredients.co.uk. This Middle Eastern seasoning — an aromatic blend of thyme, sumac (a tangy, lemony spice) and toasted sesame seeds — shows the Camerons’ penchant for exotic spices. Available from Waitrose.
20) Uncle Ben’s long grain rice, £2.09, tesco.com.
21) Knorr beef stock pot, £1, tesco.com.
22) Knorr chicken stock cubes, £1.50, tesco.com.
23) Swiss vegetable bouillon powder, £2.00, ocado.com. Can be used to enrich soups, stews and casseroles.
24) Fairy cake cases, 75p, waitrose.com. Mrs Cameron is a keen baker, unleashing her inner Mary Berry for countless charity cake sales in the past. This is clearly her baking shelf, groaning with sugary toppings and cupcake decorations.
25) Food colourings and flavourings, £1 each, waitrose.com. Ranging from green and red food colourings to vanilla and lemon extracts, these are perfect for baking with the kids — and they’re currently on a three-for-two offer at Waitrose.
26) Toasted pine nuts, £3.99, waitrose.com. These transparent tubes from Waitrose’s Cooks Ingredients range are expensive. Perhaps that’s why they haven’t restocked this near empty tub.
27) Mixed herbs, £2.99, bart-ingredients.co.uk.
28) Essential Waitrose strawberry jam, 65p, waitrose.com. Not the only ingredient from the supermarket’s Essential range in the larder, this suggests a frugal streak — though perhaps they simply like the flavour. This unopened jar boosts an already substantial stock of preserves, suggesting a penchant for toast at breakfast.
29) Nielsen-Massey vanilla bean paste, £6, waitrose.com. This sweet paste doesn’t come cheap, and is an indulgent alternative to vanilla extract — only used by the most confident of bakers.
30) Micro marshmallows, £1.49, waitrose.com. These fun pink and white baking decorations are aimed at kids.
31) Lyle’s maple flavour golden syrup, £1.49, ocado.com. This speciality version of the traditional golden syrup has a mellow, bitter twang. Perhaps Mr Cameron acquired a taste for it during his Canadian trip last September?
32) Milk chocolate chunks, £1.50, waitrose.com.
33) Baking powder, around £1, tesco.com. This baking must-have is no longer sold in this distinctive purple container, suggesting it has been lurking in the Camerons’ store cupboard for some time.
34) Twinings tea, £1.49-£3.99, ocado.com. These herbal tea blends — decaffeinated Earl Grey and camomile — are just the thing for a soothing hot drink after a busy day at No 10.
35) Steens raw 15+ manuka honey, £21, waitrose.com. This costly ingredient comes from New Zealand, and is just as good spread on a crumpet as taken medicinally — it is said to have proven effects in treating cold sores, ulcers and poor digestion. With a price tag like this, it would need to work miracles.
36) Kikkoman soy sauce, £2.69, tesco.com. This salty flavouring is a firm favourite in Oriental dishes, with this larger bottle only available in Tesco or Morrison’s.
37) Tabasco pepper sauce, £1.89, tesco.com.
38) Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, £1.19, tesco.com. These intensely-flavoured sauces show that the Camerons like their food with a bit of added kick.
39) Artisan olive oil. This looks like it has been opened, but still bears a label around the neck of the bottle, so is clearly only produced for special occasions. Possibly a purchase from the Camerons’ summer break in the Algarve
40) Belazu Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, £13.99, belazu.com. Not cheap, but very high quality. The red casing suggests a limited edition raspberry-infused variety.
41) Waitrose essential white wine vinegar, £1.15, waitrose.com.
THE COOLEST OF FRIDGES
They say the inside of a person’s fridge says a lot about their character, and the Prime Minister’s haphazardly-arranged fridge-freezer is no exception, hinting at some bizarre favourite foods.
42) Neff American-style fridge freezer, £2,005, currys.co.uk. Children’s alphabet magnets and family snaps can’t disguise the fact this is a hefty piece of expensive kitchen furniture. It dispenses chilled water and ice, as well as having a 343-litre capacity for food and drinks and moulded egg and wine racks.
43) Semi-skimmed milk, £1, tesco.com. Two four-pint jugs can be seen in the fridge door, no doubt bought in bulk to feed a family of five
44) Loose vegetables and herbs. There’s an abundance of greenery visible in the Camerons’ fridge, perfect for rustling up David’s ‘brain boost’ morning smoothie, which contains ginger, carrots and apples.
45) Greek feta cheese, £1.60, waitrose.com.
46) Johnson Estate sauvignon blanc, £12.99, ocado.com. Also in the online supermarket’s wine offer, a few glasses of this New Zealand wine have already been drunk. It’s said to go well with fish — though presumably not sardines.
47) Natoora Sicilian vine tomatoes, £2.69, waitrose.com.
48) Heinz tomato ketchup, £1.75, ocado.com. This is a man who enjoys his condiments.
49) Encona Original Hot Pepper sauce, £1.00, ocado.com
50) Waitrose espresso roasted and ground coffee, £3.69, ocado.com. Refrigerated for freshness, this furnishes the family’s expensive coffee machine.
51) Lurpak butter, £3.25, ocado.com. Whisked out of the fridge to prepare his lunchtime snack, this spread is kept in the door alongside a selection of cheeses
52) Buckwud maple syrup, £5.99, ocado.com. A second bottle of Canada’s national sauce — this one well-used and at the front of the fridge for easy access, suggesting the PM has a real weakness for the sweet topping
53) Assorted cookery books. The Camerons’ culinary tastes are summed up in this eclectic collection of trendy recipe books from around the world. Titles include Foolproof Mediterranean Cookery by Claudia Roden, I Love Curry by Anjum Anand and A Year In My Kitchen by Skye Gyngell, the former head chef of Petersham Nurseries. Also on display is The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, an old Eton pal of Mr Cameron’s, which contains recipes for everything from shepherd’s pie to coq au vin.
