A Home is where the Heart is… and if there is a significant relationship between love and food… then most would agree – The Kitchen is the Most Important Room in the house (next to the master bedroom suite – ie, see next month’s blog). In fact, most real estate experts will agree – the kitchen is the main selling feature in most homes. So how does one take advantage of what could be the heart and soul of your home?
