Kitchens: The Ultimate Cook's Domain

With the luxury of time on our hands at home, a newfound passion for getting back to basics through baking has made the kitchen more popular than ever. Celebrating and discovering the joy in homemade dishes has transformed the act of cooking into an anticipated event in itself, sparking a deeper appreciation for a well-designed kitchen. For keen cooks, the heart of the home should be functional and an inviting space for family members to gather together, or even throw on an apron themselves. Explore our expert list of the key design ingredients you need to create a space that caters for both.

TECH-SAVVY SAVIOURS

Ever-advancing technology is helping our home appliances go beyond the basics and, when it comes to ovens, everything from smart food probes to in-built cameras allow you to sit back and relax. “Most ovens do the cooking for you, so you can actually cheat,” explains Gary Brown, Harvey Norman senior brand manager of home appliances. In terms of fridges, the Samsung Family Hub has all the smarts. “It has a touchscreen, so you can find recipes, play Spotify or order an Uber,” says Gary. “It’s also voice-activated, so when your hands are in the flour, you can talk to the fridge and tell it what to do.” In need of a new oven? The latest Bosch range comes equipped with Bosch Assist technology, which automatically sets the optimum heat type, temperature and cooking time for the particular food you’re cooking.
