The Food Zone
Fine-tuning your cooking and dining areas pays off in more ways than just saving resources. As in other functional zones, their success starts with awareness: Where exactly does your food come from? Where exactly does your trash go after you haul it to the curb? Playing an active role in your family’s food cycle can be eye-opening, and it often helps spark an interest in improving other house zones.
Whether you use it as a place to scarf takeout or whip up five-course meals for your friends, the kitchen is the beating heart of any home. Grab a cold one (be it milk, beer, or the Brita filter) and peruse the Dwell archives for what utensils, design solutions, chopping strategies, and dish racks our design experts have recommended over the years.
