Jessie Steele Aprons

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Who wants to look frumpy while whipping up a delectable concoction? You need not, with sassy and sometimes downright sexy aprons for the stylish chef by designer Jessie Steele. My favorite is the “Darling” design with the pink swirls.

McEvoy Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I grew up in a house that consumed more olive oil than butter and I have generally stayed that course, so good olive oil is essential. McEvoy’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil is very green and fruity with a distinct pepper note.

OXO Tongs

2 people recommended this item

Description

It’s a rare occurrence I find myself not using my tongs when cooking and baking, and quality ones make all the difference. I particularly like this brand as they feel good in my hand, have a cushioned handle and lots of leverage to grab heavier items, and you can lock them closed for easier storage.

Sabatier Carbon-Steel Kitchen Knives

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Any chef will tell you that their knife is their most prized possession in their arsenal, and arguably the most coveted brand is Sabatier from France. Forged from a single piece of high quality stainless steel, these knives are heat and corrosion resistant so can even go in the dishwasher (although I don’t recommend it). If you get just one, I recommend the 8 inch, and I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping all your cutlery sharp by by taking them to get professionally sharpened on a regular basis, and running them against the steel every time you use them.

Epicurean cutting surfaces

A quality, clean cutting board is key for any chef, and Epicurean is one of the best. It uses a non-porous surface that prohibits bacteria call Richlie. This environmentally-friendly, natural wood fiber composite has been approved by the NSF (National Sanitary Foundation), and is knife friendly and dishwasher safe.

French Bull Melamine tableware

9 people recommended this item

Description

I just can't help loving everything by French Bull - their tableware designs are so punchy and colorful. I love folding in the bright mod designs with my basic white dinnerware. And melamine is great because it can't break! (via julietucker)

Niman Ranch beef, pork, and lamb

First to recommend

Description

Think the difference between “prime”, “choice”, and “select” will yield better meat? Think again. Regardless of the rating the USDA gives it, most mass produced meat you find in the grocery store doesn’t come close to the flavor that you can get from quality natural meat. And Niman Ranch is the leader in this sector, and it comes from family farmers who raise their livestock traditionally, humanely, and sustainably and yield some of the tastiest meat I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying.

Three Thieves Tetra Brik

First to recommend

Description

I’ve been waiting for this for years! Finally the folks at Three Thieves (Charles Bieler and Joel Gott) have found a great new way to package wine. The Bandit “bullets” include four 250 ml juice box sized wines for under $10 that not only are perfect for a picnic or camping trip, but also are small and affordable to have a normal portion that you can consumer after work. Moreover, the wine is pretty tasty.
