Larders
Looking for some medieval inspiration for your kitchen? Larders are making somewhat of a comeback since their original hay day in Europe before refrigerators were invented in the early 1900s. Essentially a walk-in cupboard with vents leading to the outside of the home and pulling in air to cool the room, a larder is considered a more natural way to cool and air out food. While not all homes or lifestyles would find convenience in a larder over a modern refrigerator, one major selling point is energy efficiency. Some foods such as eggs, breads, cheeses, and spices store better in a larder—freeing up space around the kitchen and allowing for a homeowner to buy a smaller and more affordable refrigerator for any remaining cold food storage.
