Cooking in An Award-Winning Design Showroom Kitchen

It’s one thing to have one of the most respected kitchen design showrooms in America. It’s another thing entirely when you can actually cook world-class meals in that showroom!

The team at Peter Salerno Inc. recently celebrated the holiday season with an office party and beautiful Italian meal. The food was prepared by Peter Salerno and his team in their own showroom, using state-of-the-art appliances in their fully functional showpiece La Cornue kitchen.

The kitchen design, which features a La Cornue Grand Palais range and Flamberge rotisserie, exudes elegance from every angle. From the stunning statement island to the recessed tin ceiling adorned with Swarovski crystal, the kitchen is truly the centerpiece of the showroom.

Peter Salerno Inc.’s Wyckoff, New Jersey showroom was named Most Innovative Small Showroom at KBIS 2015 (the world’s largest design convention hosted by the NKBA). In March 2020, Peter Salerno will serve as one of KBIS’ judges for the 2020 Innovative Showroom contest.

The Peter Salerno Inc. holiday party menu included imported Italian pasta and a choice of two homemade sauces, each prepared by Peter Salerno himself. Add in Peter’s design family, his nuclear and extended family, and his beautiful grandchildren, and it was a celebration to remember!

As with everything at the Peter Salerno Inc. offices and showroom in Wyckoff, NJ, the meal and celebration were a team effort.

Why We Trust, Support and Work With La Cornue

Why We Trust, Support and Work With La Cornue

Peter Salerno (of our parent company, Peter Salerno Inc.) has a simple explanation of his custom kitchen and bath design business: “It’s all about the extraordinary”. That simple phrase explains, in a nutshell, why Peter Salerno Inc. works with La Cornue.

Since Albert Dupuy founded La Cornue in Paris in 1908, the brand has become synonymous with world-class kitchen innovation and design. From ranges to rotisseries to ovens to cooktops, La Cornue has been at the forefront of luxury and ingenuity for 110 years.

It only takes one step inside the award-winning Peter Salerno Inc. showroom to note La Cornue’s presence and influence. The cornerstone kitchen design in Peter’s flagship showroom features multiple La Cornue appliances, including a Chateau Grand Palais 180 and Flamberge Rotisserie. In a display bedazzled by Swarovski crystal and adorned with gorgeous accessories, the Grand Palais 180 in particular is the crown jewel of the design.

But La Cornue is about more than its incredible CornuFe and Chateau ranges and its rich history. The main reason we trust, support and work with La Cornue is its people.

Peter Salerno Inc.’s relationship with Craig Kmiecik is a tremendous balance of honesty and work ethic. Craig and Peter have grown their relationship (and their support of the La Cornue brand) into one of the foremost representation of La Cornue in the United States.

Peter Salerno’s client-centric approach to business and kitchen design mirrors La Cornue’s dedication to each owner of its appliances. That’s why La Cornue offers an unparalleled amount of customization options for its appliances, ranges and rotisseries – from varying cooktops and burner setups, to colors, to fixture materials, to heat and convection options.

From the La Cornue USA website:

La Cornue ranges are as unique as each owner, and therefore, we believe, something quite extraordinary.

Our ranges are cherished by our clients as a commissioned piece of art. Not only used to create masterpieces in the kitchen, the ranges themselves are considered by most to be a masterpiece in the kitchen.

La Cornue leads the industry in this regard, but has never lost sight of its own storied heritage. Grounded, yet forward-thinking. Traditional, yet cutting-edge. Culinary-focused, fueled by creativity, and beaming with paternal pride over every elegant range we produce.
