Sammy Hagar, who lives in Mill Valley in California’s Marin County, is featured in the new issue of Marin Magazine. It’s not a feature on music, but his love of cooking and the type of kitchen he needs.
He says, “A center island and work space with an extra sink is a must in my kitchens… I like to have both electric and gas burners. Electric is more consistent for low simmering. I use them both when cooking.”
Sammy says his favorite aspect of his kitchen is that “it’s all laid out right there. Everything is in reaching distance — refrigerator, stove and oven, with lots of counter and chopping space. Great prep areas are essential.” But there is one thing he would like to change. “I would spread my stove burners farther apart. As they are now, it’s very difficult to use more than two large pans at the same time.”
And should you ever be lucky enough to score an invitation to the Hagar household for dinner, he says his favorite meals to prepare are “pasta, roast chicken, tacos of any kind and paella.”
