The cost depends on the room's size,
appliances and type of cabinetry. Swan says
appliances in the spice kitchens his company
builds usually aren't as high-end as those in the
main kitchen, nor is the cabinetry always the
same quality because the door is often closed.
Swan and Vassallo estimate that, on average,
a fully outfitted spice kitchen can range from
$10,000 to $15,000.
Clients who cook a lot of heavily spiced
foods find it's worth the price to be able to
isolate odours, and the extra counter space
and cabinetry gives them a second food
preparation and storage area.
Another advantage is having the ability to
control food service while entertaining,
Vassallo says.
"When you have a party, most people
congregate around the island," he says. "If
you're catering it or you're cooking yourself,
say appetizers, it's very difficult when you get
something out of the oven and now everyone is
picking off the pan before it gets to the serving
plate.
"Clients are seeing it as a benefit if they
entertain quite a bit."
