“Teeny” (as we affectionately call it) is our blog about cooking in a small kitchen in our northern Vermont apartment. When we first moved into the space we fell in love with the kitchen. It was very small, but – out of necessity – really well organized. In our 6 x 11 ½ foot kitchen (69 square feet), 46 square feet was taken up by the sink, the fridge and pantry shelves, it was as trim as a ship’s galley with a healthy amount of storage. But, we only had a combined prep area/flat space of 1 ½ x 3 ½ feet. And for the first couple of years we lived here, when we would invite friends or family over for dinner, the resounding refrain was, “You made (insert meal) in that small kitchen?”
It became a reoccurring joke. Paninis made on our small Foreman grill one New Year’s Eve were instantly christened by our group of friends as “Teeny Tiny Paninis.” The nickname stuck and we decided to use it to name our blog – but we dropped the “Paninis” and replaced it with “Kitchen.”
Now, after eight years cooking in that space, we’ve moved. However, the spirit of cooking in a very small space remains, because – although we’ve gained a dining area (no more eating on the coffee table in the living room) – we’re still forced to stack dishes perpendicularly. And all of the lessons we learned in that tiny kitchen have moved with us.
