Kitchen— Our Fine Haven

Kitchen is our favourite area in the house. Kitchen, since time immemorial, is one big studio of artworks for sale for most women. We love big kitchen where we can cook our specialties. But just as cooking is expensive so is a beautiful fine kitchen. The real deal is the kind of kitchen a woman has, most of the time, matches the food she prepares.

Men are great cook. Most of the time, they can cook delicious food in any given place as long as there is stove, pans, and flame and the right ingredients for cooking. But for most women, especially for modern women, cooking requires not just conducive area to cook but a kitchen that pleases the eyes. Pots and pans maybe few but they should be of fine-grade, as well.  Such kitchens suit big houses as if the woman of the house caters for the entire village every given meal. But this is a no-no to small flats where it is just a kitchenette that is provided. Yet, this little Asian art should be as conducive and beautiful as big kitchens where cook enjoys cooking.  After all, food tastes wonderful when it is prepared with love and happiness and when not treated as mere household chores to cook. A gorgeous or cute kitchen gives the same effect to the one preparing the dish. This, with nice kitchenware and dishes will make the food more palatable. Plus, the fact that we are inspired to make special preparation than the usual food we eat in a daily basis when there is beauty all around us just as how fine our kitchen is so is the dish we want to prepare. If we can only put some garnishing of reds, oranges, and greens in a wide plate we will if and only if we will not tap ourselves that it is just us and a toddler who will be dining at home. Otherwise, a bottle of chilled red wine along with steak and greens will be a regular delight.

Dining is leisure just as going to the theatre and strolling to places. And because of the pleasure it gives, it is costly. Therefore, to minimize the cost of fine dining, we need to create a pleasing meal time at home. And one prerequisite of this is an inspiring kitchen of whether it is big to suit a mansion house of just a cute kitchenette present in flats. Oh heaven, kitchen is a beauty—of whether it is European or Asian art!

And this time for October we first dwell on posting nice kitchen finds we got from the net. And because our theme for the month onwards will be country style, then so be it. But first we start with a touch of contemporary design. Classic country style designed kitchen is outmoded but it remains homey. All we need is a modern touch-ups and that is what we have.
