Equipment

I try to keep the equipment chapters of my cookbooks as short and as simple as possible, with everyday, affordable recommendations, and this one is no exception. You don’t need lots of fancy shiny gear in order to cook from scratch; I prefer to prioritize worktop space and a sense of calm over a cluttered environment, although I do admit to having a few more pans and spoons than those listed here. I have specific recommendations for each item here, so if you go to jackmonroe.com and type ‘Equipment’ into the search bar, it will bring up links to the things I use and love – bear in mind I test and develop recipes for a living so will use each around ten times more than the average household, so if it has survived my kitchen, it’s well worth it!
