"The New Outdoor Kitchen" covers initial design and planning and in subsequent chapters, covers 'stove' options; the rest of the kitchen (outdoor refrigerators, sinks, cabinets, and countertops); the entertaining and eating areas (including a discussion of outdoor heaters & social fireplaces); finally, the grace notes of the outdoor kitchen - lighting and sound systems, plantings and water features. Ten portfolio kitchens are laced between the chapters and the book concludes with an extensive source list. The kitchens pictured in the book run from kitchens sited on decks and patios to a small urban back garden set up to elaborate built-in, freestanding outdoor environments.
