Kitchen tips to help you feel like a chef when hosting a dinner at home...
You can create a kitchen that makes you feel like a chef as you cook. If you want your guests and friends to talk about the delicious food you serve, you need a well-planned menu, but first you need a chef's kitchen. The more comfortably you can move around your kitchen, the faster, happier and more successful your cooking will be.
Let us explore the essentials of a chef's kitchen together:First, the layout must be well planned. Positioning the fridge, sink, hob, dishwasher and waste area correctly affects the quality of your work and, in turn, the flavour of your food.
Functional kitchen utensils help you turn meals into works of art while also serving as accessories that complete the décor. Open kitchen shelves, serving boards, wooden spoons, cookbooks, sauce boats and glass bottles create the look of a true chef's kitchen. Let us not forget the trailing plant hanging from the shelf.
Every chef needs a chef's knife. Our recommendation is Mufit Bıçak, which has been making chef's knives for three generations. Founded in 1940 as a family business specialising in knife design and production, Mufit Bıçak describes its manufacturing quality as follows: 'Our focus is on uniqueness and quality, not quantity. In contrast to today's throwaway habits, we design products that can be used for many years and develop their own stories in their owners' hands. Our material-working traditions progress step by step. We bring our history, traditions and craftsmanship together on a single platform and preserve them.'
For a chef's worktop, we recommend Kale's T-ONE porcelain worktop. Favoured by professional chefs for qualities such as easy cleaning, resistance to marks and impact, and longevity, T-ONE provides the comfortable working environment you seek. Its colour palette, ranging from white to smoky grey, is sure to offer a shade to suit your style.
Arda Türkmen is one of the chefs creating delicious dishes on T-ONE, made from Kalesinterflex, the porcelain ceramic slab that challenges architectural conventions. You can find the celebrated chef's creative recipes on the @t_onebykale Instagram account. The T-ONE worktop seen in the background of his cooking content on social media and television became his first choice thanks to its ease of use, durability, hygiene and easy cleaning.
