Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Company named Ella?
Ella, my Norwegian Grandmother left me the original Kitchen Cabinet and it was my daughter Ella, (named after her grandmother) that used the Cabinet with me whenever we cooked together.
Why did I start Ella's Kitchen Company?
I had just moved to Shropshire with our 3 young children and began giving cookery lessons from my home. Integral to the fun of these cooking lessons was my Norwegian Kitchen Cabinet.
The children queued up to use it and at the end of the lesson would beg me to convince their parents to have these cabinets in their own homes- and it made me think... why not start making them.
How long did it take?
After 18 months my first 12 scoop storage cabinet was made. This space saving, child friendly, convenient, kitchen spice and dry food storage cabinet was at last in production. I have stayed faithful to the manufacturing process that will make Ella's Kitchen Cabinet an heirloom and is built to last with the wooden cabinet made from FSC woods by local Shropshire craftsmen and the components in Northern Europe.
Will my kitchen Cabinet look good in a modern kitchen, yes this is in a House in Sydney.

Paint Colours
We use 'Little Greene Paint Company' for our paints.
The stock colours are Norwegian Blue, Antique White, Stone,
We have also started a bespoke service to match your AGA colour. At a small added cost of £25 per item the cabinet can be painted to match your AGA. If you would like your own colour we are happy to match the paint. Your paint colour would be an added cost.
Are the cabinets 'mouse' proof?
Yes
Can I get replacement bottles
Yes, If I have the bottle in stock they are £5 plus p&p
Where can I see the cabinets?
At the moment at Garden Trading, Oxfordshire www.gardentrading.co.uk
Why is there no delivery price for my Country?
If delivery is not quoted please email me on info@ellaskitchencompany.com and I will be happy to quote you a price. I can also take payment over the telephone.
What are the dimensions of the bottle and scoop
The bottle is 13cm high with a diameter of 5cm. The lid is 7cm diameter
The front panel of the scoop is 110 wide x 140 high with a transparent front panel and label holder.
For the forseeable future all bottle lids will be plain.
How can I label my bottles?
Any of the sticky letters (that you label photo albums etc with) will adhere to the bottle lids, so that you can name them how you wish.
What and how much will each scoop hold?
500g Pasta, a bag of sugar, 1kg flour, oats, lentils, raisins etc.
It is not suitable for biscuits or cereals unless they are being used very frequently.
VAT
From 1st February 2010 we will be registered for VAT. Sadly this will have an effect on our pricing.
However I will endevour to keep this at a minimum.
Top Tip
When you can't find a lemon squeezer
If you do not have a lemon squeezer and you are in a hurry. Squeeze the lemon with one hand and use the other hand as a strainer. You will find the juice runs through your fingers and the pips will be caught!
