He and his wife had been making do with a room that was frankly no great advertisement for John's architectural expertise. It just about did the job but for a room that's supposed to be the beating heart of a home and a joy to cook in, the Otas' left a lot to be desired. And so John set out on a quest across North America, exploring examples of excellent designs throughout history, to learn from them and apply their lessons to his own restoration. Along the way, he learned about the origins and evolution of the kitchen, its architecture and its appliances. He cooked, with expert instruction. And he learned too about the homes and their occupants, who range from pilgrims to President Thomas Jefferson, from turn of the century tenement dwellers to 21st century Vancouver idealists, from Julia Child to Georgia O'Keeffe, and from Elvis Presley to Louis Armstrong.John Ota has a refreshingly upbeat approach and a hunger for knowledge (and indeed for food). His energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and his insights of lasting value. Illustrated throughout, with photographs and also with drawings by the author, this is a book for homeowners, home makers, interior designers, cooks, armchair historians, and for anyone who--like John Ota before them--is looking for inspiration for a renovation. 650 0 $a Kitchens $x Design and construction. 650 0 $a Kitchens $x Remodeling. 650 0 $a Kitchens $x Planning. 650 0 $a Kitchens $x History $v Case studies. 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200314011502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=105B5BFE65BB11EAABDD622297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
