A classic kitchen companion, this user-friendly stand mixer features a powerful 275-watt motor that can handle a wide variety of culinary mixing tasks.

Sometimes overlooked as a valuable kitchen tool, tongs can toss salads, turn over pieces of meat, pull artichokes out of a pot, and so much more.

I’ve used at least one bowl from this set everyday for 17 years.  Whether you’re baking, prepping for dinner or in my case, teaching a class, these are a must have.

I have one in every size that I have been buying since I was a newlywed.  All-Clad is worth every penny and how can you beat a lifetime warranty?

I prefer a large, solid cutting board.  Wood contains natural antibacterial properties and is much gentler on your knives than plastic.

I don’t have too many knives, just a few really good ones that I keep razor sharp.  It makes cooking such a pleasure.  This chef’s knife is indespensible.

The most important tool in your kitchen is a good quality, sharp knife.  This Shun is not too heavy and feels good in your hand.

The perfect grater for zesting citrus rind, ginger and garlic.
