The 10 Best Kitchen Tools You Don’t Have

19 February 2013 by local kitchen

A funny thing happens when you write a food blog: people get the impression that you know how to cook. Because, like so many of us these days, my friends & family are scattered far and wide, I do a fair bit of traveling to keep in touch with my nearest and dearest. And because I write about food a couple of times a week, most of these folks have figured it out: I cook. Quite a bit, actually. Invariably, […]

Space Solutions: Tower Shelf

21 January 2011 by local kitchen

As part of my ongoing effort to create a beautiful yet functional kitchen, I present to you today’s episode: The Tower Shelf. Now, tower shelves are hardly revolutionary, and they are particularly well known for working in small spaces: with a small footprint and a tall narrow shape, they are often the perfect solution for a lonely corner, tiny hallway or, in our case, floating in a room with all-too-little wall space.

And, if you’re anything like me, after a moment of sticker shock, you promptly went scurrying off after a different idea that wasn’t going to cost a month’s rent. Chances are, if you cook, you have more than, say, six spices to store (if you don’t, than spice storage is probably not a problem). I must […]

Space Solutions: Under-Cabinet Knife Rack

9 November 2010 by local kitchen

I may have mentioned that I live in a little cottage in the woods: 1000 square feet (a 900-sf footprint and a tiny, 100-sf loft with 30-inch ceilings) and basically one big room. The bathroom is the only room in the house that has a door (for which I am eternally grateful), so packed into the other 800-or-so square feet are kitchen, dining room/office, living room, entry hall and bedroom. It’s a beautiful space and one that I love: the original […]
