Kitchen and entertaining tools that every home cook should have on hand, especially if you don’t want to clutter your kitchen with gadgets!
Alright folks, as promised! Here are some of my most used items in my kitchen from day to day! I’m not a big gadget gal, but we entertain a lot so it’s important to me to have the right tools that are efficient and go well with our casual but classic style of entertaining.
Pretty, neutral, nesting mixing bowls – Pottery Barn – $69
Our kitchen knife set by Wusthof. Absolutely adore – WS – $399.99 – we also added this 7″ Santoku knife and it’s a dream – WS – $79.75
Classic white cake stand – Pottery Barn – $44
The best cookie sheets – WS – $54 for 2 and I use these Quarter Sheets weekly – WS – $36 for 2
My favorite Emile Henry baking set, I have it in white – WS – $184
The updated model of my Food Processor. I use mine constantly – WS – $249.95

I keep this Cherry Cutting Board on my island at all times. I put cheese on it when we have guests, and use it for quickly cutting fruits and veggies during the day – WS – $149.95 for the large
I underestimated how much I would use these Steak Knives. They’re understated, beautiful and super sharp – WS – $99 for 6
