Clare Crespo’s space isn’t so much a dream kitchen as it is a kitchen for a dreamer, a place where a glowing orange oven pops out of a secret compartment, shelves slide from the wall and gumdrops grow on candy trees. The 400-square-foot fantasy is the stage for her show, "Yummyfun Kooking," which rolls out as a DVD series this month. Crespo plays a culinary superhero named Yummy Clare who cooks up animated dishes that come to life.
