Isn't it true that everything almost everything happens in the kitchen? If I think about my childhood, yes, that would be the case, pretty much everything happened in there. The amazing food of course but also the homework, the fights with my sisters, the fights with my parents, the happy moments, the visits, the good and not that good news, everything happened around the kitchen and around food. I have mentioned before that both my mom and dad are Italians, so food was/is another -character in the play- in my family, almost as important as the rest of us.
Now that I have my own home I feel our kitchen is also the heart of this house. Even though there's not much cooking going on around here -or there is- the kitchen is THE place.
Look at these pictures. Amazing, beautiful kitchens to hang out and make some memories.
