'Hayward is one of the... best food writers alive.' - Simon Schama
in The New York Times The kitchen is the heart of the home - it's
where we spend leisure time as a family, where we feed ourselves
and where we entertain our friends. The average western family
spends more money on the kitchen than they do on a car or a
holiday. We fill our kitchens with objects and tools that reflect
our needs, tastes and desires. There is nowhere else in daily
domestic life where design impinges quite as much as in the
kitchen. Every item in the kitchen has its own story. Through 70
familiar objects, The Modern Kitchen maps the progress and
development of this functional yet also wildly aspirational space.
Why do the casserole dish and the wooden salad bowl exert such a
cultural hold over us? Has the accumulation of electrical
appliances led us to cook and eat differently? As well as studying
the individual objects that have had such a huge impact on the way
we live now, The Modern Kitchen examines kitchen design, economics
and social history through a series of essays. Embodying notions
about class, gender, wealth and health, the home kitchen, its
layout, set-up and contents, remains a neat illustration of our
beliefs, tastes, aesthetics and aspirations - the portrait of our
domestic lives.
