5 Favorites: Ultimate Outdoor Kitchens

August 15, 2012

Are outdoor kitchens the new outdoor bathtubs? Another out-of-reach fantasy for those of us who live in colder climes?

There is something wonderfully irreverent about carrying out one of life’s daily activities without a roof over your head; here’s a roundup of five outdoor culinary spaces in climates ranging from near-tropical to Northern European.
