No longer recognised simply as the best way to cook, Agas have also become style icons of the 21st Century. While still being a natural part of a classic country kitchen, they are also an object of desire for style-conscious modern urbanites. Devoted owners include Mel Gibson, Jamie Oliver and Ulrika Johnsson. A new generation of Aga-owners have emerged, and the average age of a new Aga-purchaser is now under 35. Amy Willcock’s AGA Cooking reflects this and recognises the need for a contemporary Aga cookbook featuring fresh new recipe ideas from around the world and the old favourites, but with a modern twist.

About the Author Amy Willcock is the new face of Aga, a vivacious 34-year old ‘Yummy Mummy’, married with two young daughters. Born in Chicago, she moved to the UK with her family in 1980 and soon discovered a new form of oven – the ‘Aga’. Twenty years on, Amy wouldn’t dream of cooking on anything else! Amy’s association with Aga began soon after she approached them about the lack of Aga demonstrators in her local area of Southwest England. Quickly qualifying to be an Aga instructor, she launched herself into the world of Aga cookery. For the past decade, Amy has conducted regular Lifestyle, Cookery and Aga Workshops at The George Hotel and at her home on the Isle of Wight. She also writes a monthly ‘Food and Lifestyle’ column for The Shooting Gazette, writes for Agalinks and the Aga magazine and is soon to become Good Housekeeping’s own Aga-expert. She demonstrates throughout the UK at events such as the BBC Good Food Show, the International Festival of Food and Wine and at The Daily Telegraph Spirit of Christmas at Olympia.
