A Chef’s Favorite Kitchen Cabinets
The most social area of the house is the kitchen where family and friends gather to see what’s cooking. There are so many things to talk about when it comes to food. The restaurants that were recently visited that had the most mouthwatering steaks ever! The pastry shop whose guiltless cakes and pastries are a must try! The caterers of the wedding you have attended a few Sundays ago had a superb service with a selection of flavorful food that left the visitors craving for more and the pineapple carrot cake with cream cheese frosting that a friend baked for your birthday was unforgettable. Each one has her own opinion to how the food tastes like. The chef within us would say that either it was too sweet or it was too bland.
Yes, there is a chef within us. It is the desire to express ourselves through cooking and to share that expression with other people. To have the perfect kitchen that is equipped with a complete set of cooking and baking essentials as well as reliable kitchen cabinets that resembled that of a real chef is our ultimate dream.
Many of us think that a kitchen cabinets of a chef are filled with a variety of condiments and ingredients for cooking. To a certain degree, they are, but it actually depends on the chef. The cooking style that they have adapted to their restaurant or the restaurant where they are working for does not necessarily reflect the items in their pantry.
Edouardo Jordan, chef, and owner of Salare, a restaurant in Seattle, Washington, chooses to have an experimental kitchen and pantry. His restaurant is the ideal presentation of his tried and tested recipes back home.
Some prefer to have the basic ingredients of their cooking style, like Hong Kong chef Umberto Bombana, owner of 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Hong Kong. His fine dining restaurant was the only restaurant outside Italy that was awarded 3 stars from the Michelin Guide and well known for its Italian cuisine. His kitchen cabinets at home are filled with his Italian essentials such as the different kinds of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Chef Joanne Weir, a professional chef from San Francisco, California as well as an award-winning cookbook author, food writer, and teacher, prefers to have her favorite ingredients at hand. Her kitchen cabinets are a delight to see; kosher salt, pepper, olive oils, preserved lemons, dried mushrooms, nuts, and the like.
Each of these chefs has kitchen cabinets that are purposefully driven. Which one are you?
