The working woman's dream kitchen is not represented by a stereotyped floor plan with predetermined appliances, sinks, cabinets, etc. The woman and/or man who cooks in that room - and often eats there - is looking for a personalized environment; a place that not only meets cooking and dining needs efficiently and comfortably but works as well as an informal gathering room for family and friends.

The author takes the reader through an informal course in kitchen design and equipment. She begins with a chapter devoted to the history of the kitchen in the United States, providing a good background for consideration of the modern kitchen, with all its design and equipment conveniences. The chapters that follow are concerned with the basic use of the kitchen, organization of the major work areas, and the kitchen designs most popular today.

Other chapters discuss major appliances, the types of materials used in a kitchen, lighting considerations and overall decor, small appliances, and cooking aids. the appendices include a questionnaire to help readers formulate plans to meet their specific needs and interests and listings of major manufacturers of appliances and other kitchen equipment. The text is enhanced by more than 125 photographs, including an eight page color insert.
