Outdoor Kitchen
November 2016
In our lush climate, it’s possible to spend time outdoors almost every day of the year. Why not take full advantage with an outdoor kitchen? An alfresco cooking space—like this one dreamed up by local design pro Heidi Huddleston—can transform meal prep from a daily chore into a chance to chop, stir, and sauté while communing with the beauty of the coastal landscape

Heidi’s tips for creating a functional outdoor kitchen: “Take into consideration the proximity to your indoor kitchen, since it’s likely you’ll be carrying trays and ingredients to the grill area. And don’t forget lighting—like the luxe fixture I picked from Ro Sham Beaux—to keep the party going into the night!”
