The Kitchen Handbook: Buying, Preparation, Cooking by Reader's Digest

The scope of the book is enormous; but so is that of the kitchen. It is not only a work-room and a cooking area; so often it may also be the place where you entertain and certainly where the children play. When designing a new home, or replanning the old one, says Conran, this is the room that deserves your greatest consideration - and here, from freezers to forks, is the book that will help you realize your ideal.
