Always excited to decorate my kitchen, I like cooking but there are things about cooking that I hate. Such, I dont like my kitchen to be in dark colors, I like a clean colors as white or pastel. And I dont really like to touch onion, so I prefer my homa maid to taking care of the onion, than I’ll do the cook.
Since it’s a new house, I will pay extra atention for my kitchen decor, include preparing the kitchen appliances that can be place on the counter tops, such : food processors, Blenders, Toasters, etc. And for large appliances in the kitchen such, Refrigerators, and diswashers I already have one each from my old house, so I wont buy a new one.
Other important things for my kitchen is a racks for my cookbooks, My cookbooks are one of my treasure. I like to try new different kind of food each day. Hunting for recipes on the internet, and from the bookstore. At least 1-2 in a month I bought cookbooks. Usually in 1 times , I got success to cook new foods, only the complicated recipes, I should try 2-3 times. Well, at least my husband will ate them.. hehe
