Stirring it Up This Month: Chef Turned Kitchen Designer Paul Mattison.
By Iileen Denton Photography by John Revisky
Every kitchen needs: A gas range, because if you want to cook like a chef you want to cook with gas; granite counter-tops because they look beautiful, are timeless and require very little maintenance; and a commercial dishwasher, because it has boosters that run cycles in two and a half minutes. It s a little more expensive, but well worth it if you entertain a lot.
If your neighborhood doesn t have gas lines: Bury a propane tank in the yard.
What s new in kitchen design? In high-end homes I m encouraging a catering kitchen with a warming oven, some surface workspace and a sink in an area that s out of the way but close to the main kitchen. At parties, the guests usually end up in the kitchen; use it to display the food, not the mess of cooking.
My own kitchen: it s the largest room in the house, 18 by 24 feet, with a huge six-by-12 island where the range is located. It has granite counter-tops, mahogany cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a very Tuscan feel. When I entertain at home: Sometimes we ll do sit-down dinner parties for 10 or 12, but I prefer to make it informal with lots of buffets. With good quality food, good friends and good grog, what else do you need?
The one gadget I can t live without: My 10-inch stainless steel sauté pan. I can sear steak, pop popcorn if I have a lid, and anything in between.
