Eurocucina Preview

Every two years the Europeans stage Eurocucina in Milan.











It's like Our KBIS, but bigger, and all about European kitchens!

Tonight I discovered a site where all the vendors who showed at Eurocucina 2006 are listed in a catalogue...And their web site links are listed too!

I entered "Plastic laminate kitchens" in the search box. You can change that if you like.

If you are interested you can easily spend DAYS perusing what the haute couture in European kitchens are up to.

They also have a Pre-Catalogue of 2008 exhibitors.

FUN!
