Organising a fridge — is there such a thing, you ask? Buy stuff, dump it inside and you’re done!
Well, if you value your life then don't EVER say that in front of a chef. These guardians of culinary mysteries take their jobs seriously because for them — it’s not just what pays their bills but a fierce passion. And just like their knives, their refrigerators are a scared domain that remain resolutely personal.
There's actually a book, Inside Chefs’ Fridges, Europe by authors Carrie Solomon and Adrian Moore who travelled around Europe for months photographing the refrigerators of top chefs for the book.
Scroll down to see some snaps from the books that reveal key insights on how to organise your fridge like a PRO.
