Title: Simple, yet very sophisticated book
Review: I purchased this book 3 years ago while planning our "dream" home, to be built in 2000. It has been not only an outstanding resource, but through it I contracted with the author to design our kitchen in our new home. We have just completed those plans and they are FANTASTIC. The kitchen is well laid-out for not only my wife and I, but we also entertain quite frequently with guests who love to help in the kitchen. If you contact the author (or visit his website at donsilvers.com), he will tell you his preferences on appliances. By and large, he distains any equipment from the major manufacturers (GE, Whirlpool, etc.) because they are prone to breakdown. He prefers Wolf, DCS, Dynasty, Sub-Zero, and Miele. The char-grill he mentions in the book is no longer made by Thermador, but several of the manufacturers listed above have built-in BBQ grills in their ranges and cooktops. We are very happy to have found this book and worked with Don Silvers. Bon Appetit!
