Featuring Troy Tingling, Personal Chef to Amar’e Stoudemire
Today, hosting a chic soirée is all about cozy excess. More upscale homes now feature elaborate, custom-built, integrated summer kitchen and entertainment outdoor spaces in the backyard, on a balcony, or on the roof deck of a communal floor for a condo building.
Rather than endure the pent heat of an indoor kitchen, polar air conditioning, or direct flames from a stand-alone charcoal BBQ, the open-air backdrop of nature, top-of-the-line details, and the aesthetics of outside summer kitchens are besting conventional indoor designs. While they are used year-round in warm climates, summer kitchens are maximized in temperate weather places, as well.
