We will be looking at all aspects of food and in this edition we have lots of great features in our food and drink section, including a look at food-related news and the latest products on the shelves; we find out about food events all around the country, see what’s in season and chat to the producers. To coincide with this, we have a special feature all about the Aga Local Life campaign which runs throughout this month championing local producers, farm shops and the importance of shopping locally.

There’s also interviews with high-profile chefs and this month we have the hugely popular Ching-He Haung talking about her love affair with Chinese food.

We also catch up with the inspectors from the new series of the BBC2 show The Restaurant, when one lucky couple gets the chance to win a unique opportunity to run their own restaurant under the guidance of Raymond Blanc.

There are reviews on cookery books, we test products for the kitchen and also look at nutrition and well-being.

AGA Living magazine wouldn't be complete without great recipes for you to try at home and this month Dawn Roads, Field Marketing Manager at Aga, brings us 12 delicious recipes, perfect for autumn.

Richard Maggs will continue to answer your cooking queries and each month we will have a guest chef talking about food and giving you one of their recipes.

And because we know how much you all love your homes, we have a bigger than ever interiors section, packed with inspirational ideas for your home and garden.

Our new designer columnist Lindsay Moore will be bringing us her ideas for the home in each issue as well as answering your interior design dilemmas. Hannah Genders helps us in the garden, with great tips on how to get the most out of your vegetable plot, telling us what we should be planting and when and her secrets to success. We’ll also be paying a visit to someone who has an Aga to take a peek behind the doors of their home and find out what their Aga means to them - perhaps you could be featured in a future edition?

And Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen, yes the wife of the very same Laurence, is our new country diarist, bringing us amusing anecdotes from Bowen Manor, so don’t miss that each issue.

We hope you enjoy the new-look magazine and don’t forget, we’re always delighted to hear from all of our readers, either with your entertaining Aga stories or with your suggestions for the magazine, so please keep in touch.
