Most kitchens can be divvied up into five areas namely Consumables zone, non- Consumables zone, cleaning zone, Preparation zone and Cocking Zone. Even if you have a tiny apartment galley kitchen, you still probably have the essentials: a fridge (consumables zone), some cabinets (non-consumables zone), a sink (cleaning zone), a little countertop space (preparation zone), and a stove (cooking zone). Once you’ve mapped out your zones, you’re ready for the next step.
