A small footprint doesn’t stop this kitchen from making a big impact
“This is one of the smallest kitchens we’ve ever done,” confides Kasia Piorko, founder of kitchen design company Kate Feather. “It doesn’t look that small in the photos but in reality it is. It’s just a little over four metres by two.” For comparison, the average UK kitchen occupies about 12 square metres, so this one in Notting Hill really is on the petite side. In such a small space, surely the owners wanted something simple? Nope. They requested a bold Parisian look, plus an island and lots of storage. Enter Kate Feather.
Kasia Piorko started her career as a CAD technician for a cabinetmaker, before moving into kitchen design and interior architecture. Her practical approach is what makes this space a success. K&H Design had been brought in as the interior designer for the entire home, and the collaboration with Kate Feather produced show-stopping results.

TASTEMAKER CAROLINE EDEN
“I always say they're like postcards,” says Caroline Eden of her wildly success-ful ‘colour trilogy’ series of travelogue-cookbooks charting her adventures through Eastern Europe and Central Asia. “They're just my written interpretations of things I've eaten and places I've seen on my travels, with a smattering of recipes throughout,” she explains. Green Mountains (£28, Quadrille), the final instalment, sees Caroline walking the South Caucasus, from Armenia through Georgia and on to the Black Sea. Cultural commentary, history and cooking are woven together to genre-defying effect, revealing not only how to make authentic dishes from this part of the world (such as lamb with plums, green beans and cinnamon, and courgettes with Georgian spices and walnuts, pictured), but the world events that have shaped these countries and their rich culinary heritage. “Readers aren't intimidated by food in the same way they might be by the history of the Soviet Union,” explains Caroline. “It is the ideal gateway for telling these big, complicated stories.”
