Minimalist Outdoor Kitchens

13 photos

An outdoor kitchen works when it is pared back to what cooking outside really needs: a heat source, water and a surface, with the view left to do the decorating. These come with pools, pergolas or lake views, on wood decks, concrete patios or tiled terraces. Compare the working parts: a stainless steel sink, a stone one, a built-in brick grill.
