My Everyday Favorites

If I could only recommend a few tools to start with, these would be it.

• Chef’s Knife – This is the exact knife I use daily and it stays incredibly sharp without constant sharpening.
  Budget option: Affordable chef’s knife
• Cutting Board – Large, sturdy, and easy to clean.
• Dutch Oven – Perfect for soups, one-pot meals, and building flavor.

Cookware

• Stainless Steel Pan – This is what I use when I want a really good sear and deep flavor. It’s perfect for things like chicken, sauces, and anything where those browned bits matter.
• Nonstick Pan – Great for eggs, quick meals, and anything you don’t want sticking. This is my go-to when I want something easy and low cleanup.
• Dutch Oven – My go-to for soups and braises. Holds heat really well and makes one-pot meals easy.

Prep Tools

• Wooden Spoon – Perfect for stirring and scraping up flavor.
• Citrus Juicer – Gets more juice and keeps seeds out.

Serving Tools

• Ladle – Makes serving soups and sauces easy.

Getting Started?

If you’re building your kitchen, start with a good chef’s knife, cutting board, and one solid pot or Dutch oven. Those three alone will make cooking feel much easier.
