Home Is Where the Eggs Are by Molly Yeh
essentials, including tools & gadgets
the gadgets that clutter my kitchen countertops, but i'm not even mad about it because they are that great!
i have never seen a better deal than this dish set, which is why i own four of them! $15 for 4 bowls, 4 small plates, and 4 large plates? yes, please! i've had them for five years now and they've really withstood the test of time. i cannot recommend ...

there is not a single miss on the earlywood product line. i reach for the terra scraper every time i cook, but every other cooking spatula and spoon (of which i own many!!) are perfect too!
Earlywood Wooden Kitchen Utensils
perfect for smoothies, my favorite way of sneaking more fiber and protein into my days. did you know you can add tofu to your smoothies? it doesn't really change the flavor, but it's a great protein source! i've also used my nutribullet to make bread...
nutribullet
perfect rice, every time! it also makes porridge and oatmeal, and one-pot rice cooker meals. plus, it sings you a little song every time it's done cooking :)

there's a reason it's iconic! it cooks more evenly than any other pot i own, it's easy to clean, and it's STUNNING. i have a blue dutch oven and a green braiser, and find mixing the colors makes for a really fun, bright, and happy kitchen!

chefs love it and i do too. the crystal structure makes for a very even application of salt while cooking and baking.
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
i love everything i've ever had from oaktown spice shop! they're local to the bay area but i think they're opening a few locations outside of the bay, too, and they ship! they have great spice mixes and flavored salts. one of my favorite snacks/lunch... lemon sea salt on top!

they are so freaking cute! i love kitchen pieces that can serve multiple functions, and these are exactly that. they're ramekins of course (albeit small ones), but i actually use them more often for serving. they're the perfect vessel for minced herb...
Le-Creuset Rainbow Ramekins, 3 1/2 OZ, Set of 6
these were a splurge but i adore them SO MUCH! they're heavy and high quality, and the colors are so fun. i have a combination of spice orange and blue double old-fashioned and highball glasses and they bring so much character to my kitchen.
