DESIGNER: What is your ideal kitchen layout and appliance nurtin r the he YOUNG: I'm a huge fan of design and eing srronded y eatifl fittings and accessories in my kitchen, but they have to be functional. I refuse to have kitchen cupboards on the wall, they close in a room, make it look smaller and take up space. I have shelves running the entire length of my kitchen, open and easy to access. They hold so much including equipment, food and my props for photo shoots and filming. I also like a high worktop so 1000mm or higher. This ensures I'm working stood up straight, which really helps when a full day of working in the kitchen is needed. Free standing ithens  love as they have eiility to move and change the space easily.


DESIGNER: What kitchen appliance(s) could you never be ithut in yur n he YOUNG: My KitchenAid espresso mahine. t maes st the est at white and it looks fantastic. My Stoves Range Cooker as having multiple ovens and hobs makes entertaining so easy and the warming oven is perfect for melting chocolate slowly – perfect for my product development. Also my CuisineArt Burr coffee grinder there’s nothing nier than coffee from very fresh beans.

A bit of stainless steel is great t  an’t have lots of it.  have had to make sure my fridge is big enough, so a double door Stoves fridge means I can get large cakes, trays of chocolates setting in there with ease. I also have a portable marble slab for tempering chocolate, so I can do this in the same way as in my production kitchens.


DESIGNER: Gas or induction h nd hy YOUNG: Absolutely gas. I love the instant feel of fire and  trained as a chef in the 1990s when gas was the go-to heat source. I like the control and feel of a naed ame when ooing, it’s energeti and very viseral to me and a big part of the cooking process. I am also a huge Aga fan though as my grandma had one and I learned how to bake and cook with it. Agas now have so much more versatility


and control, making owning one much easier. We had to feed my Grandma's with solid fuel constantly.

I chose to go against the obvious working triangle in the kitchen as I like to use every bit of space to its fullest. The most important points are to ask the client, who is going to prep and cook most often, how and when.

 Walk the steps in the space as if yo are ooing, it’s a pratie run and needs rehearsing.


 How much space is needed for storage and of what ’ve brought some professional trays, bowls and equipment into my ithen and some will not fit into domestic drawers and cupboards.


 Think about the height of shelving as even some cereal oes won’t fit in wall poards which can be so frustrating.


 Think about the depth of units. Professional equipment can be bigger and heavier. Support everything well as domestic units won't last.
