I believe that after watching Ang Lee's "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman", I should be quite impressed by my father's family dinner in the movie. The God of Cooking father loves food and cooking, and cooks delicious meals for the whole family, but leaves everyone with an extremely lonely back.
▲Stills of "Eating Man and Woman"
With the popularity of food variety shows such as "Chinese Restaurant", "Eighteen Thousand Miles", and "Longing for Life", everyone is busy in the kitchen and exchanging every detail of life. These warm scenes deeply touched my heart. the hearts of the audience. Thanks to this, the "social kitchen" that was not favored in the past is slowly being accepted by people.

PART-A
Integrated guest, dining and kitchen design
The integrated guest-dining-kitchen design is to design the kitchen, living room and dining room into an open space under reasonable space layout planning. The open space layout can give people a sense of visual extension. At the same time, the decoration style of the entire space can be integrated, so that the decoration style of the entire home can be unified and coordinated. Because there are fewer partitions, the brightness in the living room becomes larger, more transparent, and there is more sunlight. Make the space more spacious and transparent.

Make the island the centerpiece of your kitchen
"One hour to cook and ten minutes to eat." Compared with the time on the table, the time spent in the kitchen is much longer. The "social kitchen" is reflected in the home kitchen area, making the island the center of the kitchen. By changing the layout of the kitchen, cooking and dining are combined, so that family members are willing to stay here, interact and communicate, and deepen their emotions. A shared, open cooking space makes family members more equal, each other's identities and roles are fluid, and each member has the opportunity to participate in cooking.

Oil fume needs to be separated and the material is easy to clean
For a professional kitchen, what needs to be considered more is the isolation of oil fume. If you want an open kitchen to be beautiful and practical, the choice of range hood and cooking utensils is very important. Whether it is a ceiling-mounted or side-suction type, try to be as close to the flue as possible during design, so that it is easier to discharge oil smoke; use microwave ovens, induction cookers, smokeless pots, etc. Smokeless cookware does not produce excessive fumes and is easy to clean.

Secondly, what needs to be considered is the cleanliness, safety, and maintenance of the kitchen, so you need to pay attention to the use of materials. Ceramic slabs and rock slabs are currently popular materials, and their performance is more practical than common ceramic tiles. They can not only be used on walls and floors, but can also be used on islands, stoves, sinks, and even cabinet panels. Slate is a new type of material fired at high temperatures above 1280°C. It has a smooth surface, no gaps, zero penetration, is easy to clean and maintain, and has high antibacterial properties.
