"I love my 48" gas range. I always get great results, there's plenty of space for my cooking students to work and not only that, it looks really cool next to the old-fashioned, 15th century hearth where the contadina used to cook in what is now my Tuscan kitchen. I'm so lucky. And so are my clients who get to cook on a Viking Range in Tuscany!"
