chartered accountant. She says that the
main aim of The Needy Greedy is to be
helpful – “I feel like I have something
I can help people with. Everyone has
to eat and so many of us think ‘I don’t
know what to cook’. So, it’s all about
healthy, simple, delicious recipes. I
could teach you how to make a choux
bun, mille feuille if you want – but I’d
rather show you how to create dinner
party food in an hour and a bit!”
As you can imagine, this is a serious
kitchen! “I’d always wanted a Neptune
kitchen… and this is their Suffolk style
in its original colour,” says Charlotte.
The extendable dining table is also from
Neptune, while the chairs are French
brocante. “I have quite a lot of brocante
and French-style items. I spent much
of my childhood and early years in
Provence with my family. So, there is a
big Provencal influence everywhere. You
will see it as you walk around the house.”
Some of these were sourced recently from
the brocante fair at King John’s Nursery,
or from her friend, Sarah Featherstone.
Just as Charlotte likes to use local
produce in her cookery, so too does
she like to shop local when it comes to
renovating and decorating her home.
