How do you store your knives? Do you like to keep them out? Put them away in a drawer? One of the best things I did in the previous Kitchen Cure was to get my knives organized and properly stowed.
Are you looking for a good solution for your knives? Read on for five ways you can store knives safely and happily.
When I first asked Rachel Cole about her kitchen, her whole face lit up. "I love my kitchen!" she said with a big smile. Rachel has one of the best jobs in San Francisco for anyone interested in food: she's the Program Director for 18 Reasons, a new style of community center created by Bi-Rite Market.
Q: I am looking for these cookie cutters that make really adorable gingerbread people in various yoga poses. Do you know where I could find some?
I'd love to find a store in Manhattan (or surrounding boroughs) or somewhere online.
Last month we devoted a lot of space to bringing color into the kitchen. But we'll admit that browns, grays, and black remain some of our favorite colors for home decor—yes, even in the kitchen. (Remember this brown kitchen? So lovely.) This time of year, we'd love to be cooking in either of these warm, enveloping spaces.
Have you seen the video of a very drunk Frenchman opening a bottle of wine with nothing more than his shoe and a wall? It's been all over the internet the last few days.
We were very impressed by the effective brute simplicity of his method, but it turns out that people have been using similar ways of taking out a cork for a long time.
Architect and designer Steve Justrich is inspired by color. When he renovated his tiny San Francisco kitchen, he drew his primary inspiration from the colorful art that lines his walls and makes his kitchen such an interesting place to cook.
He says, "I wanted a kitchen that would be colorful and delightful to be in but still be a professional, working kitchen."
Well, in our opinion he more than succeeded. The result is a dramatic transformation and one of the most pleasant small kitchens we've seen in a long time.
Take a look at this cozy, vibrant kitchen from South Africa! It was a Color Contest entry but we sadly ran out of space before it could be posted. But we just had to give you a peek into this colorful space. We emailed the owner of this wonderful kitchen and she gave us some more details about the colors she chose, and why.
Water Under Attack is a new documentary from Josh Fox, who learned that natural gas drilling was coming to New York City’s watershed, as well as to his hometown in Milanville, PA. So he hopped in his car and drove out west to find out the effects of the recent drilling boom. Although the water has tested out OK with the city, many residents with wells still have ignitable tap water. Trust us when we say: Watch this.
Take a look at this kitchen transformation from Portland, Oregon. We love this: a tired old 80s-style kitchen with those terribly bland rental kitchen cabinets was remodeled back to its classic-midcentury self.
What does your kitchen need? Oh good lord, what DOESN'T it need?! I'm a professional photographer, but I was thisclose to becoming a chef. Having a stylish, welcoming kitchen is just as important to my culinary creativity as the rest of my apartment is to my artistic creativity (since I work from home).
Need a reason to look up from your cutting board? What about painting your ceiling in beautiful, vibrant color!
Here are seven kitchen ceilings that recently caught our attention and made us start eying our own ceiling with a paintbrush in mind.
Do you like to keep something pretty on your table while serving weeknight meals? How about during dinner parties? Do you break out fresh flowers and candles? Or do you keep it simple, letting the food have center place? After the plates, silver, and glasses, what's on your table?
We just discovered the work of Dos Family, a band of three friends and photographers in Sweden. Jenny, Staffan and Isabelle take luscious photos of homes and share them on their website.
We are especially loving some of the kitchens in their home tours; they are bright, down-to-earth, and so inspiring, with color and storage ideas for renters and owners alike.
Many fans of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte eagerly wait for it to show up on menus again in the Fall. However, for those of us on a budget, those little cups of goodness can add up. Making your own at home will not only save you money, but you can also enjoy them year-round.
OK, 50 is a liiiittle bit of an overstatement, considering many of the "ideas" are product placements from the House Beautiful Kitchen of the Year that was on display in Rockefeller Center. However, it was a replica of Ina Garten's actual East Hampton kitchen, and she does have some good ideas we could steal.
