Go Inside Anne Burrell's New York City Kitchen

Anne Burrell knows what you’re thinking.

“It’s a small New York City kitchen!” says the Food Network star, 44, of her beloved 75-sq.-ft. cooking area. “And I’m not a fan of supersleek. I like clutter. It feels homey and comfortable.”

Despite appearances, “I have everything organized, and I know where everything is,” says Burrell. “It’s well-equipped. Anything I can cook in a restaurant, I can cook in this kitchen. The problem is, because I have so much stuff, there’s not a lot of room for food.”

But it’s never too crowded for guests. “If I’m not working, I’ll have dinner parties, says Burrell, whose new cookbook Own Your Kitchen is in stores now.
