Cooking and dining has always been a fiery passion in me. Deriving all the pro tips to prepare meals from the masterchef of a mum, she slowly begin to bless me with her kitchen heirlooms. This book reconnected me with the kitchen equipment that we normally take for granted.
The kitchen is more than just a room. We fill our kitchens with beautiful objects and practical tools that signal our aesthetic tastes, social success, and cultural as well as culinary aspirations.
Every item in the kitchen has a story. Through 70 familiar objects, this book maps the development of this everchanging living space.
Embodying notions about class, gender, wealth and health, the home kitchen, in its design, set-up and contents, remains a neat illustration of our beliefs and desires - a snapshot of modern life.
With beautiful pictures of classic kitchen equipment, the nostalgia of this book will capture the hearts of many a home cook.
