The Aga Range Had a Baby: GaGa Aga



I saw a photo of a baby Aga in a cream color in a lovely kitchen recently and could never locate it again. I did a google image search and found some wonderful information over at Apartment Therapy. This tiny baby range or cooker is made to supplement a larger Aga but the Aga Companion can also be used alone. This baby has already been weaned! At only 24" wide, the Companion is the perfect stove for a small apartment or cottage, yet it still has two ovens and four burners. They're made of cast iron and available in 15 different colors from dark chocolate brown to a bright and vivid turquoise.
I often blog about these Aga cookers to great response. I think this is the best thing I've read about in ages, don't you? It's dual fuel too. I want this baby!!!

I had to check that out right away. On their website I only saw 11 colors shown, not including the beautiful turquoise you show. Doesn't matter though as I'm not in the market currently and probably won't ever be when I see the price!

Oooooh yes. How perfect. Aga stoves do give a kitchen such character and charm don't they? And this is a sweet looking little cooker.

I can imagine this little baby in an English cottage kitchen with aged wooden cabinets, terracotta brick floor, butlers sink below a window looking out across the countryside, a matching retro Smeg fridge and a complement of dogs or cats (or both) curled up nearby enjoying the warmth :)

Today, it is very cold, the rain has been falling for hours and looks like it has set in for the rest of the day.
On such a day, to have an Aga (momma or baby) in the kitchen, would be a pure delight. Sigh.

Rosemary,
What a cute little mini-AGA. If you get one let me know how they cook.

Rosemary, that Aga you saw recently was in Country Living, July-Aug issue, page 79, "Smooth Sailing"...the charming Nantucket cottage. Loved that whole piece. I 'm sure that's where you saw it! Love your blog...even my husband enjoys it!! Best, Judy

Judy.....That is exactly where I saw the photo of the baby AGA. The magazine is right on my coffee table. I'm going to take a picture of that page and post it.
Thanks so much. I'm glad you and your husband enjoy my blog.

I'm so sorry you didn't get your big Aga. Maybe when everything turns around :)

Karen...If I ever replace my stove (and I'm sure I never will) I will need something 36" wide. If I were starting from scratch, I would seriously consider this 24" baby since it would give me more counter space.

Vicki... Your weather sounds perfect for gathering around the Aga....big or small.
