Have You Seen This?
I’ve seen some fascinating kitchens in my lifetime. The professional kitchens have the advantage of space for moving about, and for open storage. I remember an old Victorian home, originally a fort, likely converted into a bed and breakfast by now, where the kitchen was halfway beneath the ground. The window ran the full length of the wall looking toward the backyard. Upon the sill stood a variety of kitchen storage containers in varying styles, some made of glass, others ceramic, but all in use.
No matter how large or small our kitchens are, having dry goods within reach serves two important purposes for cooks. When we need a dash of flour, not only is the kitchen storage container right there, but we don’t have to put it away when we’re done. Making the most efficient use of our space also saves us time as well.
