Reception

CNET said "3D Kitchen is hot stuff. Of course, some people may be disappointed that it won't take care of the cooking once their new kitchen is built, but we wouldn't be surprised if the clever people at Books That Work are already working on that revision". PC Magazine called 3D Kitchen a well-rounded, intuitive package.
