In our last Top 10 Monthly Kitchens blog of 2017, we take a look at more innovative uses of Sub-Zero, Wolf and ASKO. In some projects our brands are brought front and center with gleaming stainless, signature red knobs and multiple ovens, and in others they are deftly integrated behind surfaces that make the appliances disappear into a room that is more furniture than traditional kitchen. Thank you to all of the designers who embraced customized refrigeration configurations, multiple ovens (steam, convection, microwave), countertop modules and more in 2017...

Thanks to Jill Muldoon of Kitchen & Bath Details for sharing this beautiful kitchen, which was part of a full-scale waterfront home renovation. Muldoon's team took the original land-locked kitchen and created an open floor plan by removing a few view-impeding walls. This new design works perfectly to connect the kitchen to the dining area and full water views beyond. Gleaming white with light grey tile (and a magnificent mosaic tile feature over the Wolf Range), this kitchen offers incredible views both inside and out.

Beautiful design and extraordinary performance are things that inspire us when we experience an exceptional kitchen design. However, when it comes to inspiration, there is nothing that can surpass seeing a child excel above and beyond what was ever expected. It's this kind of inspiration that captured the heart of Clarke CEO Tom Clarke several years ago when he first encountered the Nativity School of Worcester.

In our final blog of our 2017 Thanksgiving Secrets series, we hope you left room for dessert! Milford Showroom Manager Sandy Lashway and Milford Showroom Consultant Cathy Whelan offer a few of their favorite holiday desserts.

In our third Thanksgiving Secrets blogpost, we offer you wisdom about the main event on your Thanksgiving table, the turkey! Clarke South Norwalk Showroom Consultant Uschi Samaritano shares her secrets for "Turkey Two Ways." This reflects Uschi's take on a Williams Sonoma recipe that suggests that cooking the turkey in sections may not be the Norman Rockwell picture you have in your mind, however, it will ensure that both the white and dark meat stay tender and juicy. After all, it's the taste that really matters!

Last week we opened our Thanksgiving blog series with a look at a wonderful Thanksgiving Hors d'oeuvre from Milford Showroom Consultant Jenny Tredeau. Today we introduce you to some of the Clarke showroom team's favorite side dishes for this delicious holiday.

Clarke's showroom consultants are a wealth of knowledge about cooking year round, but nowhere is that more evident than in the numerous questions they field during the holiday season. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we thought it would be valuable to ask them for some of their go-to recipes, Thanksgiving secrets and tricks of the trade.

Clarke South Norwalk Showroom Consultant Uschi Samaritano is a wealth of knowledge about Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, but when she isn't talking cooking, baking and kitchen design, she is tending to her large garden and apple orchard, as well as beekeeping (more on that in another blog post.) Uschi lives on a property that was previously part of a large apple orchard and currently has 9 apple trees. She isn't sure what variety they are, as they are very old and weren't cared for over the years. Every year she prunes them a bit more to bring them back to health.

Clarke, New England’s Official Sub-Zero & Wolf Showroom and Test Kitchen, is pleased to announce two recent accolades, once again highlighting the customer-focused innovation and leadership that continue to be the bedrock of the company.

For more than a decade, Clarke's Milford, MA showroom was home to Chef Ming Tsai's public television show Simply Ming. For many years, the culinary center inside Clarke's South Norwalk, CT showroom has been the television studio for Chef Lidia Bastianich's Lidia's Kitchen show on public television. Now, for the second year in a row, Ellie Krieger has chosen the demonstration kitchen at Clarke, New England's Official Sub-Zero & Wolf Showroom and Test Kitchen, in South Norwalk as her "home kitchen" for taping the cooking portion of her 13 episodes of Ellie's Real Good Food.

On the eve of his appearance at iFest, the three-day premium festival showcasing contemporary Irish culture, entertainment and innovation at Boston's Seaport World Trade Center, Ireland's award-winning Chef Kevin Dundon is taking a detour to Clarke to share his culinary skills in an exciting foodie event where he will demonstrate some of his signature recipes. These are the tastes of Dunbrody Country House Hotel & Restaurant in Wexford on Ireland's south coast, where Dundon is the chef and proprietor, and Raglan Road Irish Gastropub in Downtown Disney in Orlando, where he is the signature chef.
