Anything but chicken

11.19.2010 · Posted in Cooking, Random thoughts

The web’s a funny place, sometimes. One of my most popular all-time posts is the chicken chasseur one, where I indulged in some completely unfounded speculation about the name of the dish, and never got around to giving the actual recipe at all.  If you are still with me, Chicken Chasseur chasseurs, please accept my ...

A lighting puzzle

10.14.2010 · Posted in Color, Kitchens

First of all, I just wanted to enjoy some turquoise, while it’s still the Pantone color of the year. Although actually, this kitchen, designed by Thomas Britt with Peter Napolitano, appeared in Architectural Digest in February 2007. Shucks, I guess they just got the color wrong for 2006.  On the other hand – the turquoise ...

I told you they are taking over (here, for instance) – Tolomeo wall and floor lamps, from mini to mega, in all kinds of settings: And I did warn you they are alive, didn’t I? Something about the Tolomeo trend has me humming Bohemian Rhapsody – you know the part: I see a little silhouetto ...

Kitchen Lighting – Sci Fi and Scary

07.16.2010 · Posted in Kitchens

I’ve touched on the use of tensor arm lamps in the kitchen in  an earlier post – and I keep coming across more examples of the trend, if that’s what it is: I’ve been thinking it’s a Euro/Scandinavian/Commercial Kitchen kind of thing – though with those glacial white surroundings it makes for a laboratory-like look ...

Kitchen Art in Maui

06.28.2010 · Posted in Random thoughts, Weekend Escapes

No actual kitchens today – I am on vacation, after all.  But I couldn’t resist a visit to “Exhibition Kitchen: The Art Show” at the Hui No’Eau Visual Arts Center just outside Makawao in lovely upcountry Maui. The exhibition is a juried selection of works by local artists using only kitchen items.  Like these creatures, ...
