The Joie garlic chopper has been in my kitchen for years. I love cooking with garlic, but I've never had the knife skills to quickly chop garlic to a good size for most dishes I make. A garlic press is nice, but sometimes it's more like a paste and d...

These are the ONLY baking sheets you need! A low edge makes them great for juicy dinners, and the rippled non-stick bottom makes your cookies slide right off! These are super sturdy and will not warp. The price point is perfect and made in the USA ma...
3/4 Baking Sheet

I've long been in awe of Tieghan Gerhard. After following The Halfbaked Harvest for years, I finally bought this cookbook. I return to it again and again for the recipes, but her stories and insight offered throughout make it a wonderful read as well...
Half Baked Harvest Super Simple - by Tieghan Gerard (Hardcover)
This is a great book for those new to cooking or old hats who want to sharpen some skills. This is not a recipe book like others. It's more like, you want to make biscuits? Here are several ways to do this. It's great to bring together several elemen...

My love of cast iron started young. This skillet stays on my stove top. Nothing cooks better than a Lodge skillet. Lodge originated the pre-seasoning technique. So when you buy your skillet, it is ready to cook. The skillets are available in a variet...

Story time: my husband and I were never coffee drinkers. Then we moved to Europe for 3 years and came home coffee snobs. Only nespresso will do at home and this is the quickest and easiest way to get it. This makes it so easy to make fancier coffee d...
Nespresso by De'Longhi Inissia Single-Serve Espresso Machine in Black
I am very adamant that this is the best milk frother on the market. I know this because I was given one as a handme down that had been through 3 families and still worked great. Unfortunately it wouldn't work in the US so I let it go. And immediately...
