This space conscious kitchen is the place where a State Fair blue ribbon winner practices, experiments and creates. The lightness of the space reflects her open, inquisitive approach. With materials that feel good to the touch, well designed appliances, and carefully considered places for everything to land, the space stays functional through all stages of cooking. From prep to cleanup, nothing feels like a chore. The kitchen looks every bit as good as it feels, which is important because, when she cooks for crowds of family and friends, it becomes the stage for her performance.
