Snapshot: Writer and designer Sophie’s AGA was installed into the fourth floor kitchen in her West London home in 1986. It saw her through her 20s and into motherhood and since then has been an invaluable ally in writing her cookery books. Sophie uses her AGA every day to cook for her children, Felix and Coco, as well as the “huge and unruly” extended Conran clan. “All those clichés are true,” says Sophie, “it really is the heart of the home.”
Finest Hour: The AGA’s finest times were when Sophie was working on her two cookery books, Sophie Conran’s Pies (Collins, 2006) and Soups and Stews (Collins, 2008). It also featured in a national AGA advertising campaign, when famed photographer Mary McCartney captured Sophie baking in her kitchen.
