Favorite Cooking Gear

I often get questions about cooking gear, what I use, what I recommend, etc. So I decided to make it really easy both to keep track of what I actually use and to find and purchase the cookware I use. It turns out that Amazon has a kitchen section that has, with a few exceptions, just about every single item in my kitchen that gets heavy use, so I set up a simple “store” there to show people what I use. I’ve placed a link on the upper right side for easy reference, but you can see it by clicking here. I do get a tiny percentage of all sales through that link, so if anyone is inclined to go shopping for cookware anyway, it would indeed be some beer money for me.

I’ve also included 20 or so cookbooks that I’ve used heavily over the years, each of which I’m inclined to write about at some length at some point. I actually recently wrote a few lines about six books I like a lot for Heidi at the incomparable 101cookbooks.com. In the unlikely even that you don’t know about Heidi, you’re in for a whirlwind of great food and aesthetics. Should we all be a fraction as talented.

Again, if you’re in the market for innovative and excellent cookbooks, getting them through that link might buy me a vegetable or two at the Ferry Plaza. And let me thank you in advance for doing so!

And: if anyone has any questions about the gear, how/why I use it and recommend it, etc., post away and I’ll try to answer them.
