The stove takes center stage, with its gleaming silver surface and a range of burners awaiting pots and pans. It's a place where flavors come to life, where ingredients transform into delectable dishes under Chef Annette's skillful hands. Adjacent to the stove, a stainless steel refrigerator stands tall, holding fresh produce, ingredients, and chilled essentials.

A long countertop stretches along one wall, offering ample space for food preparation. The countertop is lined with cutting boards, mixing bowls, and various tools needed for slicing, dicing, and creating culinary masterpieces. Above the countertop, a row of pendant lights provides focused illumination, allowing every detail to be seen with clarity.

Shelves on the walls house ingredients neatly organized in labeled containers. Spices, herbs, and other essentials are within arm's reach, ensuring a seamless cooking experience for Chef Annette and her eager students.

The overall layout and design of Chef Annette's kitchen are a testament to her passion for cooking and her commitment to sharing her knowledge with young learners. It's a space where the silver of the appliances, the maroon of the tiles, and the warmth of natural light come together to create an environment where culinary creativity flourishes and lifelong memories are made.
