Yes, I know that the first two items on my list spoke to the old fashioned, manual way of doing things, but our Robot Coupe (a Cuisinart on steroids) is a truly indispensable tool. We use it to make everything from our home-made marzipans to our peanut praline.

We use Straus cream and butter, organic fruits and herbs, and lots of other really great stuff to make our chocolates. The Bay Area has some of the best Farmer’s Markets, making it easy for us to find all of the ingredients for our kitchen.

Nielsen Massey Vanilla Paste

7 people recommended this item

Description

There is just no substitute for the real thing. Good vanilla beans can be a little (OK, a lot) expensive, but the pure flavor that comes from using the seed from a vanilla bean is just amazing compared to extracts.
