In her kitchen, small things count

Image 1 of 4

Cookbook author Martha Rose Shulman says shes never had a fancy kitchen, or a very large one. In Paris she would cook for two dozen people in a kitchen not much larger than a walk-in closet; the best asset of the broken-tile floor: You couldnt tell if it was dirty. In her present Los Angeles home she has a simple work table, shown here with a vintage egg beater and one of her bright cutting boards.
