Culinary Art I Final HOMEWORK (Kitchen design assignment)
Your task is to design (on paper) a kitchen you would like to work in.
Include scale drawings of your dream kitchen, including all features, and include what kinds of appliances and other features, including color scheme
Include costs of your range/cooktop/ovens, refrigerator, dishwasher and the five small appliances you consider to be most essential nFinally, be able to defend your design and equipment choices (think work triangle, lifestyle, etc.)
Hint: use Sunday ads from home improvement stores to find out information about cabinet and appliance styles and prices. Use online design sites to help you decide what to include. And, remember, this is YOUR work, not group work!
