Aga total control launch

I was invited to the launch of Aga's Total Control cooker at the Saatchi Gallery in London last week, where I bumped into Charlie Smallbone (who is creating a range of kitchen furniture for Aga subsidiary Fired Earth), and hooked up with old friends. The new Aga is bound to be a success, offering all the features of a traditonal Aga, with the vital difference that it can be turned off and turned back on again in monents. Apparently you can also talk to it via a moble phone, which is slightly alarming (together with the Total Control concept it does have rather totalitarian resonances!) Seriously, it seems a great idea. More info on www.agaliving.com.
