Kitchens for Cooks by Deborah Krasner
This book breaks new ground in kitchen planning by defining the kitchen the way cooking professionals do; in terms of four distinct areas for wet, dry, hot and cold food preparation. Whether you're planning a remodel or designing a new kitchen, this practical book is very helpful, with floor plans and diagrams that develop the "prep area" concept for home use. The author urges cooks to make their kitchens suit their height and cooking habits and discusses pros and cons for equipment, storage and materials options.
