Beautiful shit for people who take their kitchens seriously.
I’ve spent most of my life in professional kitchens. I’ve used equipment that cost a fortune, equipment that cost next to nothing, and plenty of stuff that should have gone directly into the dumpster.
This is the good stuff.

I LIKE GOOD TOOLS.
Not because they’re fancy.
Because when you’ve spent enough years cooking, you learn the difference between something that makes your job easier and something that just takes up room in a drawer.
I’ve bought cheap. I’ve bought expensive. I’ve abused things, broken things, loved things and wondered what the hell I was thinking when I bought them.
So this is my curated list.
The knives, cookware, tools and ingredients I’d recommend to another cook.
Some are practical.
Some are indulgent.
Some are downright gorgeous.
And yes, there’s some expensive shit in here.
You don’t need it.
But if you want it, I’m going to tell you which ones are actually worth looking at.
And some are just dreaming.

From everyday workhorses to the gorgeous stuff I secretly covet.
The tools that actually earn their place in a professional kitchen.

IF YOU ASKED ME WHAT TO BUY…
THE CUTTING BOARD I’D BUY
John Boos
There’s a reason these things turn up in professional kitchens.
They’re substantial. They’re beautiful. They feel like something that’s meant to be used rather than admired from across the room.
And a good cutting board is one of those things you don’t really appreciate until you’ve spent years working on shitty ones.
I’ve got more to say about these.
