Your pictures on the theme of 'in the kitchen'

We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "in the kitchen". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.

Sirsendu Gayen: "Traditional kitchen in the Indian sate of Arunachal Pradesh."

Sara Bickley: "Not just cooking that takes place in the kitchen, the kitchen sink is also a handy place to bath the dog. This is Toby the Yorkshire Terrier, who is 17."

Linda Alkove: "A kitchen is not a kitchen when it is a bed of rocks. Or is it? Taken in Farmington, New Mexico."

Dominik Ratynski: "Potwash, where I started three years ago."

Carolyn DiFrancesco: "Too colourful, too pretty to eat."

Gianlorenzo Masini: "Natura morta, for big eaters."

Roland Trope: "Double Take. Guests and other visitors to Brasenose College, Oxford, may do a double take on seeing this pair of signs. It gives one pause about the preparation of the college meals."

Evelyn Oakley: "In the late afternoon sun in my kitchen, with a cheese grater in my hand, I cast a mysterious shadow."

Sue Hipperson: "I put the egg down in the whisk to stop it rolling off the worktop and it just created this picture with the slight movement."

Ian Knight: "Three steps to preparing the perfect pancake, taken in my own kitchen and yes I am the photographer and the cook for these shots, timing is everything."

Marianne Wever: "I live in the Netherlands. My kitchen still has an old-fashioned chimney. On the photo, my beloved gas cooker from the 1950s. It is still in use and I love to cook on it."

Farnoush Hayati: "As an amateur photographer my kitchen is more than a place for culinary experience. Coloured lights + sink strainer + glass plate + water droplets = Saturday Night Fever."

Jacqui Dimmock: "Caution is the keyword for these guys while they undertake cleaning up this kitchen mishap!"
