The Kitchen and Bathroom Book

The book “The Kitchen and Bathroom Book” is written by Jose Manser on kitchen and bathroom designing. The main idea behind this book is to present modern designs of kitchens as well as bathrooms. Writing about kitchen writer discussed some essentials and modern styles of kitchen components such as ovens and hobs and kitchen equipment. According to Jose Manser, some important kitchen units are non-kitchen units, custom made units, and proprietary brand units.

The subject behind this text is to enable readers to understand what kind of things should be kept in the mind while designing a kitchen for home or commercial purposes. The overall writing style of Jose Manser is narrative and interactive to the readers. Although, he presented examples to make arguments and concepts clear and easy to understand for the readers. For instance, while elaborating on laminated plastic he presented examples of Melamine and Formica. Although, the key idea behind this text is to enable readers to understand how they can make their kitchen the best place to cook and store food items. The writer also added quotations in the books to explain various arguments.

Moreover, the writer also wrote other quotations in the book to explain the importance of kitchen designs. For instance, a quotation used in this book

“The Kitchen and Bathroom Book” is “best meaning, best designed, and best value”.

This quotation is used to explain how a kitchen designed in the best way can provide the best value to the users. I agree with this quotation as in my views one cannot get satisfied and happy while cooking food in a kitchen if the kitchen is not designed properly. The theme and approaches of this book are similar to other books as it also projects importance as well as suggestions for appropriate kitchen design.
