Consider a number of times the most important in memories … You are they centered kitchen Setup? The food was good? Special times together with family members and friends (some of the departed, lived some)? I can answer that one for yourself and say that my grandmother’s kitchen is a place where I learned to cook and make beautiful things that are then shared and enjoyed by families.
Nothing evokes special memories like the smell of cooking ginger or sound pressure cooker. It is etched in my memory and my heart. I imagine that my feelings about the importance of my devotion to the kitchen contribute to kitchen design as an adult. My grandmother is not with us now, but a loving memories and the kitchen stay with me forever.
