Choosing the right kitchen products and creating a warm and welcoming feel are essential to allowing a positive relationship to flourish between children and cooking. According to news site Globe and Mail, a North American university study has revealed the importance of creating a kitchen devoid of sharp edges and cold design, in order to encourage healthy kitchen habits in children. The study reportedly showed that the most positive attitudes towards food come from those whose childhood kitchen contained a central kitchen table, prompting the study authors to conclude that sitting down for family meals once a day is beneficial, with a spacious table becoming a rallying point.Also inviting people to do away with cold textures and sharp corners, research leader Dr Jordan LeBel told the Globe and Mail A lived-in kitchen with soul and a table that invites exchange and socialisation will probably give you more pleasure and happiness than a cold stainless-steel one.He added Are there things we can do on the home front, design-wise, layout-wise, decor-wise, that can promote greater awareness of the greater pleasures food can bring?When choosing kitchen sinks, people looking to veer away from a stainless steel look are offered a range of other materials and textures, including ceramic models such as the Franke Belfast VBK651 sink.
