Southampton's Kitchen Secrets Travel South for the Season

Olivia Tiedemann cooks in Southampton homes where the people who own the kitchen rarely stand in it, and she has decided to talk about what she has seen there. Town & Country has her describing the habits of that household from the only vantage that counts, behind the range with the family on the other side of the door. Anyone who has staffed a house on the North End will recognize the arrangement, and anyone who has run one will want to know how a Hamptons kitchen compares to their own. The migration of cooks, housekeepers and hosts between Long Island's summer and our winter means her observations will land on familiar tables here well before Thanksgiving.
