When Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, the founders of cooking site Food52, moved into a new midtown Manhattan office space, they built a test kitchen that's both photogenic and functional (not to mention economical). With the help of designer Brad Sherman, they created a space that allows them to stage photo shoots and cook lunch for staff and friends, all with a healthy dose of style.

It's not the only thing the duo has up their sleeves: they've also spent the last 18 months testing and planning for Provisions, which they describe as "the first kitchen-and-home shop to offer the very best rolling pin along with a great peach pie recipe, or a handsome butter dish with a how-to on making your own butter. It's the shop of our dreams." N.B. Join Provisions now and get $10 off your first purchase and a chance to win a Wüstof Ikon eight-piece knife block set.

Above: "For the shelving, I used reclaimed wood milled from a 100-year-old beam salvaged from a barn in Kentucky," Sherman says. "I had them milled in varying thicknesses because I didn't want the shelving to look too uniform, and the varying thicknesses along with rough condition of the boards give a modern kitchen character."  Sherman used an inexpensive Elfa shelving support system from the Container Store: "We went this route because we needed the flexibility to adjust the height depending on the cookware we'll be displaying and storing, including antique mixing bowls from Sage Street Antiques in Sag Harbor," Amanda says.
