The new way of living the kitchen

This way, the new concept of an environment dedicated to food is super technological, flexible and more social than ever, with delicious food served on enormous work surfaces, cooked perfectly on giant burners and ready to be savoured all together, around an excellently equipped island. It is a trend for which technology has not hesitated to supply precious smartphone applications, innovative accessories and utensils that were unknown until recently. Technology thus extends a helping hand and opens the kitchen doors even to those who were not even good at preparing a cup of coffee. An explosion of precision scales, digital thermometers to control the cooking of more than one fish or meat dish at the same time, managed from long distance via smart phone; food printers that can mix ingredients and print dishes out. There is no lack of pans, which can be divided into four, wine cellars for true sommeliers and helpful design accessories that act as waiters. All required ingredients are present to improvise a light lunch, a fun aperitif or a formal dinner without moving away from the burners. Let us discover this new way of living the kitchen together, and those small rules which are so that we do not lose sight of the final objective.

A sophisticated table setting

If what you need to do is organize a grand aperitif, and your kingdom is the maxi operational island where you seat your guests at the snack bench, it is a matter of choosing a sophisticate table setting. Just a few choice objects from the latest iconic and classic table collections by various sector brands, as is it important not to overdo it. A runner is perfect for a kitchen surface as long as the place for each guest is well marked. Another element is the lunch table, beginning with the tablecloth. As you can imagine, it is vital that it is spotless and well ironed, avoiding synthetic fabrics which are unpleasant to the touch, as well as not being chic. The colours must be chosen according to personal taste and the theme you have chosen for your meal; in any case, avoid matching multicoloured plates and cutlery with overly coloured table clothes. Seeking to maintain a balance of colours is always a winning move.

Social etiquette

Though allowing yourself a break and good food may be something sacred, it is just as important to follow some rules. In the matter of good manners, being “social” is not always a good thing and even etiquette must adapt to changes. For example, it is a good rule not to have your smartphone on the table cloth, unless you are alone. If we really must check something important we must first advise our dining companions and then put the phone away. We should think of it in advance, next time we want to organize a dinner.
