If you were asked to name ten essential kitchen store -cupboard ingredients, what would you include? Flour? Salt? Sugar? My guess is that most cooks would include some kind of instant stock on their list. Even the keenest of cooks is unlikely to have sufficient time to make their own stock for every occasion. In the years when we were entertained by that wholesome family in the TV ads who sat down to yet another of mum?s imaginative culinary creations each evening there were fewer brands of instant stock from which to choose.

SOME HISTORY:
Chateaude Chenonceau was originally a fortified castle built in the 1430s. In the early 1500s the castle was purchased by Thomas Bohier who demolished the fortified castle (apart from one tower) and began the building we see today. Unfortunately for Bohier his castle was seized by Francois I after Bohier's son failed to pay a debt. Francois's son Henry II then gave the castle to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers.
