From the Publisher
No longer defined by simple picnic tables, folding chairs and
a citronella candle, outdoor living is the hottest topic in home
landscaping and among the hottest trends in home design. At the
heart of outdoor living and entertaining is the desire to cook and
dine alfresco. While homeowners have been grilling out for decades,
the simple portable grill is increasingly being replaced by
six-burner grills, grilling islands and full-scale outdoor
kitchens. And the decor and accessories that accompany outdoor
kitchens are no longer limited to picnic tables, folding chairs or
Citronella candles. Outdoor furniture nearly rivals the style and
comfort of its indoor counterparts, and outdoor accessories to
create any mood and decorate all kinds of outdoor spaces are
available everywhere.
"Outdoor Kitchen Ideas That Work "offers not only inspired design
ideas but practical information homeowners need to create their own
outdoor kitchen. An in-depth look at planning and designing outdoor
kitchens is followed by a closer look at the individual elements
that make up an enjoyable outdoor dining experience--from barbecue
grills and cabinetry to outdoor appliances and all-weather dining
tables.
