It is said that home is where the heart is; and leading on from that, often the kitchen is the heart of the home. We all know any good house party inevitably culminates in the kitchen; it draws people into chat next to the counter or wonder into the fridge for snacks and scraps. It’s a place for hosting and entertaining so it should be stocked with all of the right essentials.
What would a good kitchen be without a good set of utensils? Barcelona has an array of vendors where you can find the perfect set of cutlery or some kitchen tools to add to your collection.
