| Don Silvers, Kitchen Designer, Chef, Architect and Teacher Brings You Kitchen Design with Cooking in Mind |
As far as Don Silvers is concerned, the American kitchen is designed completely wrong, in
every sense of the word. Silvers, a certified chef who taught cooking in the 1970s and
currently teaches residential kitchen design at UCLA, has been on a crusade for decades
to remake kitchens that will enhance food safety, save energy and make them more
convenient.
His first book, Kitchen Design with Cooking in Mind, revised in 2005 with his new
partner Moorea Hoffman, lays out exactly how remodeled and customs kitchens should be
designed and the best appliances and configurations to be employed. Then in 2006,
Hoffman and Silvers came out with a book that details the how major appliances should be
selected and placed within a proper configuration.

| The Myths About Kitchens Which Drive Don Silvers Crazy |
The two most pervasive myths, besides the ones listed below, that disturb Don Silvers the
most are the "need for a triangle kitchen" and that the functionality of the kitchen "doesn't
matter" since people today "aren't cooking anyway." Eager to bust these myths wide open,
Silvers has built his business on a client base that is very much focused on cooking.
