Wednesday 17th March 2010 12noon – 2.30pm with James McIntoshMEET THE TEAM
Angie - Manager
Our South African ‘import’, Angie loves warming up by the AGA on those chilly London winters, hugging yet another cup of coffee. After completing a business degree in marketing and economics, Angie decided to venture North, and soon felt right at home with AGA, where she now Manages the Knightsbridge and Marylebone showrooms. A fan of great design, the AGA appeals to her in every way – especially as it is so practical. She loves creating dishes on the AGA with a South African flare and is always trying to think of new ways to entice customers into the AGA way of life.
Jessica - Assistant Manager
A recent graduate from Plymouth University, Jessica joined us in October 2008. Full of enthusiasm, Jess quickly formed a part of the team - all thanks to her stirling efforts at making coffee cake (this certainly made the grade and played a good part in securing her future here!). Jess has travelled all over the world and loves trying out all sorts of different cooking styles on the AGA but particularly enjoys making delicious soups for us all to enjoy.
Mary
Mary is our English rose! With a background in home economics, she knows all there is about food. Mary has been with the AGA shop since the beginning and has a wealth of information about AGA cooking, owning one herself. She is practised in Middle Eastern cooking, and finds the AGA simmering oven perfect for cooking her favourite Middle Eastern dish – Dolmas. This consists of vine leaves stuffed with veggies, minced lamb, spices and rice, in a rich tomato and lemon sauce! Mouth-watering stuff.
Jo
Jo joined the Knightsbridge team in 2005, only to disappear off to Corfu for six months the following May, and then again in late 2008 to become a Mum to a beautiful baby girl. Thankfully, Jo has returned ready to help us (and of course you, the AGA customer!). Jo has lots of retail and sales experience and is happy to provide excellent advice to those considering an AGA. She always manages to go the extra length to help out.
Rosie
After living student life in Leicester, Rosie joined the Knightsbridge team in 2007, and quickly adapted to AGA life! She has never been disappointed by the fine results the AGA produces, and is now an established pro at making delicious breads and cakes. She has been a vegetarian all her life, and is the person to speak to when requiring inspirational, scrumptious ideas for vegetarian recipes.
Danika
Oh how she adores the fact that her 1st job involves making cakes, crumbles and custards. Currently a Graphic Art student, Danika has always appreciated good design (oh, and good food) – and fortunately the AGA ticks both those boxes!
AND OUR COOKERY EXPERTS
Mark David has been cooking for us in Knightsbridge for a long time. His enthusiasm for easy family cooking is infectious and he is a born entertainer. With his own successful cookery school in Suffolk, Mark knows all about good food and great company! Expect the recipes to change a little as we go through his classes but also expect fabulous results at the end. For those who want to be entertained whilst you learn some new tricks, Mark's classes are a perfect choice!
 James McIntosh, our youngest and probably our cheekiest AGA Chef! That said, you will leave every one of James' classes feeling confident that you can cook the dishes at home. A home economist by training, an AGA cook by upbringing and now the 2009 Gourmand ‘Best Cookbook’ winner; James' knows his AGA and food facts. If you're looking for a useful stocking present this year, make sure you grab his set of award winning books available now at AGA Knightsbridge
Forman Wicks - our resident wine expert takes his grape very seriously! A walking encyclopedia on wine matters, he runs his own wine distribution company. He does a great job on matching fine tipple to our themed class menus and proves to be a firm favourite during our demos – adding a little something extra, with his wine talks and tastings!
