Yes, Chef! 12 Chef’s Kitchens from the Remodelista Archives

December 26, 2018

You can learn a lot from looking at a chef’s own kitchen; they’ve spent a lot of time there, so they know a thing or two about what works and what doesn’t. Here’s a look at our favorite chef’s kitchens featured on Remodelista over the years.

Marjorie Taylor of the Cook’s Atelier in France

Taylor’s teaching kitchen is equipped with the dream Lacanche Sully range and her favorite chef’s tools, which are also sold in the Cook’s Atelier shop. N.B.: The mother daughter team has a cookbook, The Cook’s Atelier: Recipes, Techniques, and Stories from Our French Cooking School.
