Somehow you’ve gotten your dream home. The cabin in the mountains, penthouse downtown, castle nestled deep in the woods, nuclear bunker in the hills, or whatever. Whats the bit you’d add that might raise a brow from others? The fireman’s pole? The slide? The moat? The hidden room behind a bookshelf where you keep your stuffed animals?

    When we bought our house I claimed an entire room as a pantry for this, because my food preparation (if that’s the right word) needs more space than a kitchen. Do it. It’s awesome. Was the right decision. We have an enormous refrigerator with a freezer in there, a ridiculously strong wire shelf, a pot rack for all the iron skillets, space to store ferments and dry goods and all the tools that don’t live in the kitchen (sous vide stick, blender, waffle iron, etc.). It’s a room without a door that would otherwise have probably been a dining room. I don’t do butchering but it’s right next to a bathroom, if we wanted a prep sink it could be done. I don’t need one though.

    Next I want a good bar area near the kitchen, we have a good space for that and that’s where the prep sink will go. Some ferments may move over there too, the drinks ones.

      My dad’s friend has it. On the street he lives are few same houses and all of them have few rooms downstairs you can’t make it in to a flat so it is used as garage, workshop, and one room we call party room. It is just a kitchen but separated enough to use it that way. His neighbours use it differently.
