The book I am reading described a wealthy man’s house custom built home in Sweden as having a kitchen with chef quality appliances. I like the sound of that. To me, a good kitchen has good appliances, but it must also have the right accessories and plenty of storage. One of the most handy kitchen accessories that Ive seen areenclume pot racks and a nice collection of expensive pots and pans.
I’m sure everyone who has ever been in a commercial kitchen knows what an enclume pot rack looks like. In fact there are many different styles, from a straight stainless steel bar with pot hooks, to an elaborate rectangle suspended by chains from the ceiling over the kitchen work island.
Its the little things in a kitchen that add up to a gourmet kitchen. I like custom cabinets that meet the needs of the individual cook. I like the nice marble countertops – especially if you do a lot of baking. And I love the pots and pans hanging from enclume potracks out in the opn where I can see which one I want and not have to get down on my knees to root around in a dark, cluttered base cabinet.
