Let’s Start with Tools

I love a well-equipped kitchen so I can work easily and efficiently. I keep the utensils and tools I use often right near my workspace in gorgeous clay pitchers so I am not hunting for things as I cook. It adds beauty to my workspace. It makes me want to be in the kitchen by seducing me into this gorgeous space.

That said, I hate gadgets: I’m glad that’s off my chest. From garlic presses to citrus juicers, I have little use for any of it. Give me a chef’s knife and a cutting board and I’m all set. Every time I see a cute new doo-dad (that’s all I can think to call them), what comes to mind is that it’s another thing to clean. But that’s me.
