THE MENU NO CANNIBALISM JOKES TODAY KITCHEN ARCHITECTURE

I consider some good old kitchenware itself decorative, and a cultural heritage, if you will; and some of the older stuff usually has not been, and perhaps cannot be, improved upon...at least not at this time.

 

So, coincidentally, I am lately designing, from scratch, as southern cooks like to say, a working cook's kitchen, to make use of this kitchenware, and the kitchen space and appliances, from a practical standpoint, and not as collectibles in an outdated antique room. The redesigned kitchen can keep many of its best and oldest features, and also serve its recent denizens well.

Look at some of the great classic kitchens, either of the nobility or of the best commercial establishments, or high bourgeois homes, of the past, and certain common features emerge.

 

I will post regarding this theme at intervals.

 

You seldom see anything really good written about this, except perhaps by commercial high end kitchen designers...

 

The residential kitchen designers usually, at best, either reaffirm, or repudiate, or most often completely ignore, the triangle, and little else, except styles fittings and finishes, etc.....
