An English Kitchen: the Heart of the Home - Talk & Lunch
Join Katie Fontana, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Plain English; Jeremy Lee MBE, Chef Proprietor at Quo Vadis; and Caryn Hibbert, Founder and Director of Thyme and Bertioli, as they discuss how to create a kitchen that balances beauty, functionality, and warmth.
Once a purely functional space hidden from view, the kitchen has undergone a remarkable transformation to become the true heart of the home, a workspace and setting for everyday living and entertainment. This talk explores the fascinating history of the kitchen, its evolution in design and how the kitchen shapes family dynamics and daily rituals.
Included in the ticket price is a welcome refreshment. The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A.
