There are some really good reasons why the phrase “the kitchen is the heart of the home” was coined. Think about it.
Firstly, you can’t even functionally call a space a “home” without a kitchen. Secondly, every single member of your family uses it - and in ways beyond just meal preparation. The kitchen is where hearts are spilled over wine, where arguments are created and resolved, where kids drink their alphabet soup and learn to count, and where your friends who have nothing better to do will sit around.
