Be Prepared to Prepare

The key to preparing great meals, however, isn't just having the food, it's being prepared. There are some things that a good kitchen just shouldn't be without and the following list is composed of these things:


  • 8" or 10" Chef Knife: A good chef's knife makes chopping all of those vegetables a cinch.

  • Cutting Boards: Aside from providing a place to cut up all those veggies for those vegetarian dishes, a good chopping board can also help to keep your knives sharp.

  • Dental Floss: It may sound silly but dental floss is a useful tool to have in the kitchen. You can use floss to cut things that are gooey or that stick to your knives.

  • Potato Ricer: This handy tool can help you make perfect mashed potatoes and can help to prepare almost any root vegetable.

  • Zip Lock Bags: These can be used to store leftovers or to make a pastry bag in a pinch.

  • Scissors: Great for snipping fresh herbs and spices for that special sauce or to open tricky packages.
