Today we get to tour the kitchen of a culinary professional! Prolific cookbook author Diane Morgan renovated her kitchen fifteen years ago, but she designed it to feel both solid and timeless, so as you will see it still looks fresh and modern.
This kitchen has been the site of development for over seventeen cookbooks. Come peek into the incredibly organized cabinets and drawers of a professional food writer!
Doryn is a designer, and like the rest of her Manhattan home, her kitchen is impeccably put together. It is both easy on the eye and easy on the hands.
Jenny and Asmund both work in the field of architecture and do freelance design work. Their kitchen balances function and form beautifully. It's compact, full of light, and a great example of renovation on a budget, $4,000 to be exact. Join me for a slice of pear galette and a tour of this inspired space and edible garden.
Sabrina Soto is an HGTV celebrity, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like to cook and eat meals at home. In fact, as a recent tranplant from DC, maybe someone will give her the memo that such behavior is rare in New York.
Penelope and her husband Nathan transformed a bare bones, down–on–its–luck home in North East Portland into a vintage style palace to showcase their miraculous second–hand treasures. The crown jewel of this special home is their savvy kitchen, wherein Nathan traded contracting for poured concrete counters and Penelope sourced major appliances via Craigslist. This space is an inspiring example of creative, purposeful design and a whole lot of imagination.
Cooking is in Whitney McGregor's genes. She grew up cooking and eating and drinking wine with her mother and her many brothers and sisters. In every home she has ever lived, the kitchen is where people gather and where memories are made. So it's no surprise that when she moved into her first home, fixing up the kitchen was first on her list. Her budget was tight, so tight in fact that it was virtually nonexistent.
But she didn't let that stop her! Read on to see her amazing $50 kitchen transformation!
If you've ever flown into or out of the San Francisco airport, you have probably looked out the window and wondered about those weird red ponds scattered along the edge of the Bay. Wonder no more: they're sea salt harvesting ponds!
I was recently invited along on Diamond Crystal Salt's annual sea salt harvest right here in the San Francisco Bay. Let me tell you, it was a fascinating trip from Bay to box. Oh, and why the startling red color in those ponds? You'll never guess. More
After years of moving around both coasts, Lilian and her four young children settled down close to her husband's family in the rolling country hills of Ohio. Lilian and her husband finally had the opportunity to build the home they had dreamed of for years, and when they did, they put the kitchen literally in the heart of the home. This is Lilian's "forever kitchen", as she puts it. It was built to age. It has the space to feed four young kids, now and as they grow. It was designed to hold the crowds of family that flow in and out every weekend, and it is chock-full of smart, purposeful choices. This is a dream kitchen, both stunning and practical, sunlit and of service.
Come see Lilian's sunlit family kitchen, and take a peek at the terrific lunch she fed me — arugula salad with quinoa and a perfect vinaigrette, roasted cauliflower with green olives, and blueberry cream scones.
When Amy Pennington, author of Urban Pantry and Apartment Gardening, invited me to visit her Seattle kitchen, one word kept coming up over and over. "It's dismal, Faith," she said. "My kitchen is in utter disarray." There was a ceiling leak, she explained, and her kitchen is located in a tiny rental apartment — no painting or renovation allowed. Sound familiar? This is very close to reality for many of us, I think!
And yet Amy's kitchen turned out to be a place of warm inspiration that depends in no way on granite countertops or IKEA cabinets — instead, it is full to the brim with preserves of summer fruit, dried herbs of every shape and size, and other smartly stashed-away food. She does all of this in the teeniest and most basic apartment kitchen you can imagine. Come see, and be inspired by her top tips for how and why to preserve fruit — even if you live in a tiny space.
