Summary

The kitchen is the heart of the home, gathering the warmth of countless households and their longing for a better life, where the many flavors of daily existence unfold. A modern kitchen bears witness to small changes in the family and great shifts in the times. As living environments change, so does the kitchen, driving the upgrade of appliances with a modern technological sensibility.

The kitchen cultivates a refined lifestyle and modern taste, and champions healthy eating. Those in the kitchen reveal their ideal lives. The kitchen is a space where love and a beautiful life converge; the food and the passing of love within it seep into people's hearts, bringing an exquisite life closer to every home. "The New Chinese Kitchen" helps us carry on old flavors while seeking new tastes, letting Chinese cooking shine anew today.

Editor's review

This book uses the kitchen as a lens through which to examine the warmth of family life alongside the shifts of the times. It is not merely a book about kitchen design; from the changing living environment, the technological upgrading of appliances, and the evolution of eating habits, it shows how the modern kitchen becomes a meeting point of family emotion and lifestyle taste. It looks back at Chinese culinary traditions while looking forward to new flavors and new ways of living, and its combination of text and images keeps the reading light and brisk. Suitable for browsing while preparing a renovation, and for readers interested in home life and food culture, who will find inspiration about kitchen space and lifestyle.
