Title: No great ideas. Not great kitchens.
Product review: This book features several different chefs in their kitchens. I thought I would see some very useful ideas for our renovation, but there was NOTHING relevant. This book is nice if you just want to see a few obscure chefs in their messy kitchens. There are NO suggestions or examples of design- where to put things and why for example. Definitely nothing innovative or interesting- we've all heard about the work triangle.I highly recommend Lyn Peterson's Real Life Kitchens. I have poured over this book. Packed with information about materials for flooring, countertops, etc. How much space do you need around an island, how much space is recommended for certain items, layout, comfortable working distances between appliances, how much knee room for stool at an island, etc. etc. Also has some very beautiful kitchens that WORK and details WHY. Extremely useful in many ways.
