> I would think most people who dig cooking would take a Frankfurt kitchen with decent appliances over a huge, airy space with great appliances. Not for me - I'm not a professional chef, but I love cooking, especially meals for family and friends. In doing that it usually means people congregate in the kitchen (which is fun), but would cause havoc if it were compact. I'd love a kitchen like the "dream" one - a Wolf burner, double open fridge, island for prepping, and space for people to be there, rather than crammed off in a corner to make it slightly more efficient. Diff'rent strokes I guess! EDIT: also, the Frankfurt kitchen seems optimised for actually "cooking", over and above other kinds of food prep. I'd take a massive worksurface for mixing and forming, over being closer to the oven or sink.
