What kitchen is completely without olive oil? There are a lot out there, and the most flavorful domestic oil I’ve encountered comes from McEvoy Ranch of California. This olive oil is certified organic and has a complex flavor profile of that starts with a sharp and almost spicy flavor with a delicate and mild finish.

Sure, you could use uncooked rice or dry beans, but I like to accessorize.

Pizza peel

Description

Again, a necessary complement to pizza making. It takes a little practice to get the dough to move just so, but it's big fun.

Pizza stone

You absolutely cannot make proper pizza without this. It creates a perfect crisp crust, even in the high-humidity environment of gas ovens.

Laguiole wine opener

First to recommend

Description

I have spent a lot of time in France and actually have visited the town in the center of France where these are made. I have a wine opener made with olive wood that is beautifully crafted and is a great combination of design and engineering. I bought it in Burgundy, and think fondly of France every time I open a bottle.
