Cooks often cherish their kitchens, valuing them as spaces for joy and creativity, despite imperfections. One cook reflects on a beautiful but flawed kitchen within a vintage Pasadena apartment, highlighting how the space facilitated happy meals despite its shortcomings. Another cook, Ruth Reichl, designed her kitchen to suit her physical needs, promoting efficiency and comfort. Such kitchens reflect deeply personal connections rather than mere functionality and serve as settings for both recovery from loss and celebration of life through cooking.
"The most beautiful kitchen I ever cooked in was far from perfect... the stove, relocated and updated since the days Jonathan Gold and I occupied that apartment, was a finicky old thing."
"Ruth Reichl, author and former restaurant critic and editor, says she designed her U-shaped kitchen to fit her body and the open floor plan of the home she and her husband, Michael Singer, share in New York's Columbia County."
