Originally designed to be a normal-sized kitchen in a normal-sized house, this one is now a corner-room like a large closet attached to the inside of the mansion’s main kitchen.

Introduction:
The kitchen of the largest and most luxurious mansion in all of Inisfree is well-matched to the needs and wishes of those who reside in this towering palace here. Staffed by expert professional chefs ’round the clock (all Inisfreean Master Females, of course), this kitchen can cook up, at a moment’s notice, anything your heart (or stomach) could desire. It is in this smaller of the mansion’s two kitchens that individual-sized dishes/meals are made (whereas in the larger of the two kitchens, sometimes recipes are made in quantities enough to feed hundreds of guests at a time –or more).
–
Dimensions & Layout:
Measuring 20’x20′ across its floor, and standing 10′ tall, this kitchen is more what a newcomer is likely used to from home. Its cold-storage and hot-storage pantries are built into its walls, and you can adjust the temperature on every drawer and cabinet. The oven and stove top can estimate the ideal cooking time and temperature based on the weight of what is placed on them, and will automatically adjust both if smoke or other burning is detected. Each stove burner, not just the ovens, has a digital readout showing its exact temperature. Each cold-storage compartment has one of these, as well. Every cooking utensil and related device to ever be required or dreamed of in the finest kitchens the Universe over is organized first by type and function, then by name, in the clearly labeled cabinets here. The finest China and other dishware and cutlery are equally well organized, always inspection ready, always effortless to locate and work with at the drop of a hat.

Special Features:
This smaller kitchen comes complete with a popcorn machine, Slurpee machine, snow-cone machine, and several other novelty devices, such as an air-fryer; no oil needed, and no grease resulting. There are also night-lights built into the footboards around the base of the island, as well as into some of the smaller tiles set flush with the others along the floor.
All range hoods vent to the outside, not just fan up above cabinets.

History:
In ~2019, Elena became the first to have a fun mini food-fight with Auz in here. She tried to cutely hurry out, but he tricked her by throwing a handful of food in her path, causing her to instinctively stop, which gave him enough time to get around the kitchen-island and grab her. Carrying her out to the breakfast room, he dropped her in the fountain, then horse-played with her even more, but eventually apologized and got her smiling and ‘melting’ again.
–
Design & Appearance:
- doors automatically open out of the way of anyone carrying a plate of food; making it easier on waitresses
- electrumware and reusable fancy chopsticks for dozens of guests
- range-hood (vent) over every stove-surface, and over the grill
- vents in the ceiling
