And now I find myself writing the introduction to the 2018 guide - something I could only have dreamed of back in 2016! This year’s guide is, yet again, bigger and (I hope you’ll agree) better than previous years. The political slings and arrows may have added to our urge to stay put and improve rather than move as the amount of digging, extending, rebuilding and redesigning has not abated. On the following 120 pages, you will find all the ideas and inspiration to turn these dreams of improvement into your very own reality. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the businesses and individuals who have contributed. Their expertise, advice and support have been invaluable. Finally, thank you to Marsh & Parsons, SIMPLY Portico and Rampton Baseley, who regular Espresso Design followers will recognise as our long term property partners.

The existing basement was extended laterally to create a large open-plan family living area over which rises a triple height atrium.

My long hair is bunched up under a plastic shower cap, pulled down nearly over my eyebrows, and around my ears. I‘m not talking much because it‘s noisy in here: the hum and roar of an electric meat saw whirring through flesh; the metallic lurching of a pulley hoisting thousand-pound bodies up to the rafters; the hole-punch ricochet of a bolt gun and the resultant crumpling collapse.

  • The Kitchen As Woman's Space
    ISSN:2277-7881; IMPACT FACTOR :6.514(2021); IC VALUE:5.16; ISI VALUE:2.286 Peer Reviewed and Refereed Journal: VOLUME:10, ISSUE:4(5), April:2021 Online Copy Available: www.ijmer.in Digital certificate of publication:http://ijmer.in/pdf/e-Certificate%20of%20Publication-IJMER.pdf THE KITCHEN AS WOMAN’S SPACE - A STUDY BASED ON THE FILM THE GREAT INDIAN KITCHEN 1Dr Prajitha P and 2Aleena K Noble 1Associate Professor and HOD and 2Research Scholar Dept of Malayalam, Payyanur College, Edat(P.O), Kannur, Kerala Abstract The kitchen can be defined as a temporal space for enforcing a kind of discipline by subjecting its occupants to silent injustice. It is a space where justice has been consistently denied. It has possibilities of being qualified as ‘a second space’ or ‘a woman’s space’. The portico which connects a house to the outside world is typically considered to be a Man’s space; on the other hand, the kitchen, apart from being considered a cooking place, is looked upon as a woman’s space. This study attempts to inquire into what sort of a model for discourse the Malayalam film has marked the kitchen in the cultural milieu of Kerala. It is based on Geo Baby’s film The Great Indian Kitchen released in 2021 that kitchen scenes have been analyzed in this study. It is as a film that has smashed the general perception of patriarchy in regard to the kitchen that this film has been chosen as a model for study. It could disturb deeply the existing system, a system based on patriarchy, and the general consciousness about it.

  • KITCHEN HISTORIES in MODERN NORTH AFRICA a Dissertation
    KITCHEN HISTORIES IN MODERN NORTH AFRICA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arabic and Islamic Studies By Ann M. Gaul, M.A. Washington, DC May 6, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Ann M. Gaul All Rights Reserved ii KITCHEN HISTORIES IN MODERN NORTH AFRICA Ann M. Gaul, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Elliott Colla, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is a comparative study of modern Egypt and Morocco from the turn of the twentieth century through the 1970s, narrated through the lens of the urban middle-class kitchen. Scholars of the region have paid increasing attention to domestic spaces and the politics of gender in the formation of national identity, but with a tendency to focus on written sources, nationalist movements, and formal concepts. I suggest that the notions of modern home and family that underpinned nationalist politics and cultures in Egypt and Morocco cannot be fully understood without an exploration of the kitchen as both a conceptual and material space. By tracing the histories of cooking stoves and cookware, cookbooks, and foods associated with “national cuisines,” I use the kitchen to tell a narrative that grounds abstract processes in everyday material, affective, and sensory contexts. I show how the home kitchen was crucial to the formation of modern national cultures as well as the figure of the middle-class housewife as a new kind of worker, and the concept of domestic happiness. The dissertation uses literary analysis, archival data, and ethnography to explore relationships between dominant discourses and quotidian experiences.
