To spice up your d***cor, why not keep dried spices in colorful glass jars or in a spice box? Hang a string of garlic bulbs and use their cloves as often as you can. Garlic is good for your body, especially if you have a sluggish digestion; so just forget about its effect on your breath. If you have a window that receives lots of sun, grow spices or edible flowers (see Chapter 8, The Gift of Nature). The garden serves an excellent purpose, providing you with ingredients that are good for your health.
Ambience
The kitchen is one of the most important areas in our home. It is here that we prepare the food for our body's nourishment. We must take care to create a positive ambience that gives us pleasure, so that we willingly spend the required time to prepare our meals. The food that we eat should taste good and look good to the eye. The décor should be soothing, with colors that are gentle and nurturing. Refer to the Color Chart, Harmony in Color on p. 198.
A well-designed kitchen is also simple and functional. Try not to clutter it with nonkitchen-oriented items that get in our way or keep us from finding what we need for the preparation of our meals.
