For a more dramatic solution, consider installing a cooking island. Placing the stove in a central island al-
lows the cook to see the entire room, including the doorway. Cooking islands have become a popular trend in
kitchen design. According to Guita Behbin, owner of "Duramaid Industries" (a kitchen and bath design and
renovation company) many customers want their kitchens to flow into an open space, or "Great Room", that
includes a living and dining area. Designing a kitchen around a cooking island will help keep the cook involved
in whatever is happening in that Great Room, whether it is clever before-dinner conversation or hearing about a
child's English homework.
Feng Shui-inspired kitchen design dovetails with the contemporary trend toward "group cooking." Instead
of isolating the cook, families and guests often gather in the kitchen and participate in the meal preparation.
Also, busy working couples use dinner preparation as an important time to unwind together.
