This convenient and beautifully presented book is a worthwhile investment if fantasies of a new or renovated kitchen are brewing. Overwhelming as the prospect of remodeling a kitchen may be, the wide selection of ideas in this book will provide achievable improvement ideas for any kitchen constrained by any factor, be it time, space, budget; the possibilities are abundant.

The plethora of ideas is categorized by context and scale into a three part layout. They examine fundamental issues such as basic layout planning and budget setting from scratch, motif, details such as finishes, appliances, fixtures, cook tops and storage ideas, as well as cleanliness and maintenance issues. The presentation of ideas is anything but a monotonous list, for the delightful photography by Ray Main is not merely indicative of the success involved in implementing a well thought out kitchen plan, but indeed seductively so.
