As part of his enduring love of all things Terence Conran (the English designer and restauranteur) Maxwell recently brought home a tattered old copy of Conran's now out-of-print Kitchen Book and we have barely put it down. It's the best resource I've ever seen for making beautiful and functional kitchens. It doesn't just show pretty kitchens — though it does do that — it also helps the reader understand how and why kitchens keep the spirit of the home alive. It's the book I've always wanted to write. (Oops, Conran beat me to it. Twenty years ago.) Here is the first sentence: A kitchen provides physical and spiritual nourishment, and for many homes is now the heart and soul of family life. You see why I'm in love with this book, don't you? |
