I know we don’t have the servants preparing food out of sight these days, but still a little privacy is nice. It is nice to be able to talk with your guests while preparing food but the mess should be out of sight as much as possible. There is a certain drama and anticipation when the lights are turned low and the chef (me) comes out of the kitchen with a beautiful flambé preparation to bring to the dining room table.
That sounds absolutely devine. Would burning candles on a birthday cake do? That's my speed. LOL.
