Dear Failenn
Don't let the small kitchen put you off~ About 7 years ago, I lived for
a while in a one-bedroom flat. My only cooking source was one of those
benchtop ovens. It had two hotplates, only one of which worked if the
oven was on. I had a little bar-fridge which didn't even have a freezer
section.
>From this kitchen I catered a principality event for 160 people. I must
admit, what made the difference was lashing out to by a reconditioned
chest freezer - cost me $150 and is still going. It sat in the garage
at the time - no room in the flat.
Don't be discouraged. The budget can be more of an issue but I
encourage you to try period dishes as part of your everyday meals, which
is the most budget conscious way to manage. If you need to, think
laterally with your space; maybe you can cook outside on a fold-up
table, using a gas barbequeue?
