Bespoke cheesey kitchen designed for Stilton's no. 1 fan

A cheese mad mother from Timperley, Cheshire, has had an unusual bespoke kitchen designed for her - the cabinets look like Blue Stilton!

Sally Conner, 38, wanted to create a real stink when designing her new dream kitchen and took inspiration from her family’s favourite food, Stilton.

Sally approached kitchen experts Magnet and persuaded them to produce the cabinets especially for her. The cabinets have been designed with the doors hand painted to Sally’s specification.

Sally says, “Some of my friends think I’m mad but we wanted to own a kitchen that no one else could copy. We eat Stilton most days and one night over dinner the idea just came to me. I’m delighted with the end results and Magnet gave me expert advice at every stage from design through to installation to make the whole process simple.

The kitchen is a mixture of Magnet’s Tiko and Kara Cream ranges, and Marketing Director, Anjum Ahmed comments: “We pride ourselves on designing our kitchens to fit customers lifestyles and needs by asking them the question What Happens in Your Kitchen? We were however slightly taken aback when we received this request for personalised cabinets but we thought it was so original we would help out and the end result is fantastic.”

Nigel White, of the Stilton Cheese Makers Association, adds, “We know Stilton is the most popular blue cheese in the UK and an English institution but even we were surprised to hear about the lengths this Stilton mad fan has gone to. We will certainly be sending Sally and her family some complimentary Stilton to enjoy in their new kitchen.”

The SCMA is running a campaign called ‘Stick on the Stilton’ to encourage consumers to think of the cheese not only as an after dinner treat, but also as an alternative to add into simple every day meals such as burgers or sandwiches as well as soups, sauces and dips.
