Billed as the ultimate in kitchen porn for the foodie and design lover, NZ-based Australian kitchen designer Mal Corboy has released a stunning coffee table book which showcases the best of his award winning kitchen designs, paired with recipes inspired by his work.
Mal Corboy is in demand around the world designing bespoke kitchens for clients from New Zealand and Australia to the USA and he is currently working on a complete home fit out in Trinidad and Tobago. For this project, he has teamed up with Simon Gault and his network of highly skilled chefs to marry exclusively created recipes with Mal’s kitchen designs in an innovative new book.
“I designed and built a kitchen for Simon Gault and when we were developing the concept for the book we thought it would be an incredible addition to have a recipe from Simon to sit alongside his kitchen”, says Mal. “Simon was so keen he then invited chefs from the likes of Fish, Jervois Road Steakhouse, Pravda and Shed 5 to be inspired by the kitchens and create recipes to sit beside the featured spaces; 11 of which are kitchens that have not been published or seen before”.
Mal has been designing for more than 19 years and credits his success to his passion and consistency of work as well as his wonderful clients, who allow him the freedom to push boundaries of design and create the next statement piece.
A celebration of Corboy’s work, the book is also testament to the quality and skilled craftsmanship in New Zealand, as with all Corboy’s projects, where possible everything is built and sourced in New Zealand.
Published in both New Zealand and Australia, ‘Mal Corboy Kitchens’ retails at $60 and is available at selected bookstores including Cook The Books and Arcadia, and online at www.malcorboy.com
