What Is The Future Of The Domestic Kitchen In Our Increasingly Busy Urban-Modern Lives, Asks Siena Crawford.

Kitchens In Flux

While visiting friends in the freezing Scottish Highlands, I find myself glued to the Aga for survival. It’s the only source of warmth in this enormous refrigerator of a castle. How appropriate to be musing about the future of kitchens while perched on the immovable monument to the most archaic symbol of British cookery. (My first thought is that the French are doing it better with La Cornue cookers, which are a lot more glamorous.)

But is there still a central place for kitchens in our homes, even in time and space-deprived megacities? Is each country and culture unique, or are we all moving in the same philosophical direction? When an online food delivery company like Deliveroo in London has revenue of £130 million with a growth rate of more than 1 000% in the past year, it certainly points to something brewing.
