🏠 HomeToday's Tip
French kitchens are famously compact by American standards, and that is deliberate. A smaller kitchen means everything is within arm's reach. Efficiency over square footage. You need less than you think.
Try This
Open every drawer and cabinet in your kitchen. Remove five items you have not used in six months. The French keep only what they use weekly. Counter space is sacred. Clear it.
The French concept of "le necessaire" means owning only what is necessary, but choosing the best version. One excellent chef's knife beats a block of twelve mediocre ones. One heavy-bottomed pot beats five thin ones. Edit ruthlessly, upgrade selectively.
