The Luxury Space JANUARY 2022 ISSUE
A few words from Tony Cutugno “I think cooking made me like myself better.” — Julia Child There’s rarely a question in my mind when deciding which room to entertain in at Les Pommiers, I choose the kitchen. Built in the old silo with a hewn granite fireplace and 22’ beam and timber framed ceiling, there’s no sense of stuffiness or formality, it’s so easy. So grab your drink in the living room, but walk into my kitchen for good food and lively conversation. Barbara Sallick, co-founder of Waterworks, says the kitchen is everyone’s favorite—a place that conjures a delightful memory in us all. In her book, THE PERFECT KITCHEN, she explores every avenue, from planning and budgeting, to sinks and faucets. I stumbled on Barbara’s books when planning the guest house renovations at Les Pommiers. With all the complications making renovations so difficult right now (the Lacanche stove was over a year for delivery!), Waterworks showroom made it easy with one-stop shopping. The following listings by Private Brokerage takes a kitchen filled with style, adds-in an enticing recipe from a top chef, and shows how easy it is to make every kitchen gathering a success.

Moules-Frites Overlooking the Long Island Sound When you have mesmerizing Long Island Sound water views from your kitchen, a seafood lunch is mandatory. I can’t think of a better recipe than Thomas Keller’s saffroned mussels. Of course it begs for a crispy side of pommes frites. Did you know the French use an empty shell as a fork to eat their moules? Bon appétit! O F F E R E D AT CO N TAC T

"The Perfect Kitchen" by Barbara Sallick The kitchen is the heart of the home, the destination of every party, everyone’s favorite gathering spot, where style and functionality must go hand in hand. Designing a kitchen is a vastly complicated affair, involving an array of appliances (movable and fixed) and storage zones, not to mention addressing the kitchen’s role as a multifunctional social arena to be used from very early in the morning until late into the night. Creating a timeless, high-functioning space is daunting indeed. Where is one to begin? This book explores the process of designing a kitchen in great and beautiful detail, from surfaces and finishes to storage, cabinetry, and hardware. The book is enriched by dozens of images of kitchens by esteemed designers, essays by top food icons about their own kitchens; and important, howto advice. Combining evocative, informative photography with an authoritative, engaging narrative, [this book] is an essential, lasting resource that will appeal to discerning homeowners and professionals alike looking for upscale visual inspiration and design advice.
