The importance of kitchens as a place to spend leisure is reflected in its architecture and design: it means that creative solutions need to be found to smoothly integrate the kitchen with the dining and living areas, at the same time its appearance needs to aesthetically match the style of ones home. This work presents 40 kitchen design projects.

Cooking as an event, the kitchen as a meeting place and center of communication: architects and interior designers use functional, creative and sometimes off-beat design concepts to satisfy these demands of the modern kitchen. Surprising combinations of materials and breathtaking displays of light and form are integrated into the architectural and aesthetic fabric of the living area. This 4oo-page volume presents an astonishing variety of unusual and flawlessly executed kitchen designs from Europe, the USA, Australia and Asia. Cook! is a declaration of love to the kitchen and awakens a desire to cook - together.
