I recently spent a morning with Chef Laurent Tourondel, creator of the popular BLT Restaurants, in his country house kitchen on Long Island. A gaggle of French relatives plus Laurent's girlfriend and her family had descended for a holiday weekend so the house was full of energy. Pancakes, from Laurent's book, Fresh from the Market: Seasonal Cooking with Laurent Tourondel (Wiley) were on the menu. The pleasures of this visit were many: I not only got to open the cabinets and drawers of a famous chef, but I got to have the best pancakes of my life. More

Joan and Jim have been cooking in their charming kitchen for over forty years. The space practically glows with the history of wholesome family meals and cackling laughs amongst old friends. It's also the site of many curious objects — of the beautiful, silly, vintage and strange variety.
Last year when I photographed the home of John Saint-Denis for his house tour, I immediately fell in love with his kitchen. It's quite stunning, with a presence that lingers throughout the rest of his home.
