Now the living kitchen is where we sit, eat and drink, talk, work and entertain friends. This book is a comprehensive guide that explains everything you need to know about the simple concept of kitchen living, from ways to pan styles, select materials and use colour to the inclusion of recipes for dishes and cocktails.

  Kitchen living is today's way of life. Once a functional room for behind-the-scenes labour and then the proud haven of the Fiftie's housewife, today the kitchen represents the very hub of the modern house where we sit, eat and drink, talk, work and entertain friends. As a background to such convivial human behaviour, kitchen design demands careful consideration and Elizabeth Hilliard leaves no stone unturned in this efficient and comprehensive guide to creating the perfect living kitchen for you. Whether you have a large kitchen with a budget to match or a small space to renovate, this book contains suggestions for every detail, from innovative storage ideas and questions of layout, to special-occasion table arrangements and how to care for crystal and glass.
