Is there such a thing as a happy kitchen ?
Is there such a thing as a happy kitchen ?
Strange question; maybe not; if you consider how you feel when you work in an environment that you enjoy.
I remember back to the days when my Gran used to bake fresh home made teacakes, my first memory; the smell, the smell of the dough cooking in the oven, the intoxication of the flavours that just got you out of bed in the morning, the aromas from the mixture of yeast and flour.
I'd walk into the kitchen, head back, eyes closed and a deep inhalation through the nose, forty years on the smell and flavour; it is still as strong. I can vividly remember her, always a smile, a cloud of flour dust as she clapped her hands together, always a hug against her flour covered 'pinney' that transferred to my face and usually got rubbed in further, with a laugh.
All this was wrapped in a cloud of melody, of humming and very light singing.
I think that was a happy kitchen!
Everything was at hand in that kitchen, utensils, ingredients even the fire heated range made it very homely.
Everything that surrounds us is a reflection for us and that is why it is imperative to choose the best we possibly can, whether this is in the physicality of a thing, or the design of the space you may want to put that thing or things in.
