Keen cooks need no encouragement to spend money on the utensils which allow them to indulge their passion to the full, but in reality one can get by with a fairly restricted batterie de cuisine. Indeed, analysis of what is used in people’s kitchens usually reveals that only a small percentage of items are employed on a regular basis, with many things generally remaining in cupboards gathering dust On this subject I recommend - if you have not done so already - the standard kitchen practice of hanging as many pots, pans and utensils as possible from hooks. You can then see at a glance where things are and they are much easier to get at than when they are buried in cupboards.
