A Cook's Kitchen


I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, baking, canning and preparing organic meals and holiday events. Over the past few years, we've managed to upgrade the kitchen and make it more modern, practical, and (of course) beautiful. I love the way the room has evolved as I have changed and grown.

This weekend at Seabrook, the kitchen of "Sofia's Sandcastle" would be anyone's dream--it is huge, with every modern convenience and high-end appliance. The bead board ceilings in the house are 10 feet high, giving the kitchen an expansive feeling right away. There was a stainless steel gas stove, and side-by-side stainless frig and double stainless sink. The marble-topped kitchen island was large enough for food preparation, a computer, and a buffet dinner, with two stools and a wine rack and cookbook niche at one end. The main item of interest was a large, movable faucet directly above the stove for ease of filling a crab pot with water, or for cooking pasta or boiling water. I had just seen this feature in a magazine, and it was a great addition for a beach kitchen.

The lovely room added to the enjoyment of the meals at Sofia's, and it was fun to live with this dream room for three days.
