I was flipping through the current (April 2008) issue of Food & Wine magazine last night and came across a plug for a kitchen slide show featured on the mag’s website–including those of celeb-u-chef Mario Batali and restaurateur Steve Hanson (whose Hamptons cucina is above). [Photo courtesy of F&W and copyright Douglas Friedman.] Many magazine websites just slap a bunch of pictures on their sites and call it a day, so I was excited that F&W included full articles, too. They do an amazing job of breaking down each space, including an annotated resource list of where to buy the appliances shown (or, heck, the whole look!). I only wish they ran a few additional photos so that you can really get into the space. Nonetheless, I consider it required reading for kitchen lovers–or anyone in search of design ideas.
(*Additional recommended F&W reading: The issue also featured an excellent, informative article on home wine cellar design, including a Q & A with David Spon.)
If that leaves you drooling, then check out Domino’s cool series of kitchen and bath slide shows, too. These chic designs are a little closer to home for me, since many are in urban apartments. They also have great nuts-and-bolts primers on topics like choosing countertops, plus inspiring before and afters. Get a taste!
