THE DREAM KITCHEN - Scroll down or click here for menus.
According to Bee Wilson writing in the Daily Telegraph on the 30th October 2011 the dream modern kitchen for 2011 “would include copious numbers of handleless drawers - click here - and cabinets in muted colours.” with splashbacks and LED recessed lighting instead of tiles, a steam oven – see Neff, click here – “the kind modernist chefs use”, a £1000 wine cooler filled with cold chablis for unexpected guests and an iron griddle – Japanese style in place of a Wok. There would be in addition warming drawers – see Neff, click here - “to produce an endless supply of toasty-warm pastries, the kind people are always eating in photos of dream kitchens”

MODERN KITCHENS ARE PALACES OF ASPIRATION
“Amanda Hesser, the American food writer, wrote something very wise about the modern kitchens tending to become 'palaces of aspiration'. Hesser noted that, 'There is promise in a second dishwasher – the promise of large parties. And there is melancholy in its disuse.'

NOT SO PERFECT MODERN KITCHENS
“The great thing about having a shabby and imperfect modern kitchen – see Shabby Chic Kitchen - is that there's not so much to live up to. You happily improvise with what you have. You don't expect life to be perfect”

IS YOUR MODERN KITCHEN MAKING YOU FAT?
Nutritionists warn that modern kitchens make us fatter according to Lydia Slater writing in the Daily Mail on November 11th 2011. " Choice of crockery, fridge and even paint could help to pile on the pounds" British women are the third fattest in the Western World having added 0.5" to their busts, 1" to their waists and 0.75" to their hips since 1920 in the same time as tmodern kitchens have almost doubled in size - and the kitchen has become the bggest room in the house.We spend more time in our modern kitchens than anywhere else. Temptation in the modern kitchen Thus we're in close proximity to food taking in hundreds of extra calories without ever noticing. Modern Kitchen countertops get cluttered up making it harder to get our chopping board - and a temptation to grab a handful of bicuits We fill our modern kitchens with large restaurant style plates and bowls and consequently place more food upon them, upping our consumption. Wine glasses are also huge these days - see picture left - and we drink more wine and cocktails in our modern kitchens . It's fashionable to have super-size American fridges with more space than ever for food which in theory should help with its cost. In conjunction with a self contained pantry - click to see - to store bulk purchases the food quantity and accessibility has been increased considerably - resulting in more snacking in modern kitchens.

Open shelving like Samantha Cameron's in Downing Street, a stylish feature of the modern kitchen, may get used for glass jars of pasta, dried fruit, sweets or biscuits, all creating a temptation to scoff more.

POOR LIGHTING IN MODERN KITCHENS MAY CAUSE STRESS & INCREASE APPETITE.
Modern kitchen lighting may also be an issue. Spotlights or undimmed pendant lights can cause stress levels to rise, stimulating your appetite. You're advised to keep the light bright when cooking and dimmed while eating. Wall colours should be cool neutrals and silvery shades not warm yellows. See Pendant Lighting Ideas - click here

KITCHEN ISLANDS FOR BUFFETS MAY STIMULATE OVEREATING
Finally, your precious, stylish modern kitchen island may be a problem too. Used for buffet-style family meals with self-service many people help themselves to many more servings than when taking food out to a dining room. So beware! Your exciting modern kitchen may put pounds on the value of your property but at the same time put on pounds to your person.

CHANGES WE CAN MAKE TO OUR MODERN KITCHENS

Avoid bright, or very dark colours. Use light pastel shades on modern kitchen walls. You'll eat more slowly.
Have a separate dining room or dining area away from your modern kitchen. Avoid tempting sight and smells of food.
Use small plates and spoons and you'll be less likely to indulge.
Avoid open modern kitchen shelving and the many treats they can store with ready access.
Don't install a TV or a PC near food preparation & avoid temptation to watch during meals.
