05 Chef Knife The most important thing in your kitchen repertoire are good knives. All you need is three knives: a chef knife that is used for almost everything, a paring knife for small jobs, and a bread or serrated knife for slicing bread or soft fruits, like tomatoes. Those last two knives can be 05 any brand really; save the dough for your main knife. My favorite are Global, NHS, and MAC knives. Global 7" Hollow Ground Santoku Knife 06 Microplane Zester Fun tools to have in your repertoire are a Microplane zester and a citrus reamer. Adding citrus juice (i.e., lemon, lime, orange) and citrus zest is a lovely way to turn a regular recipe into something gourmet. 07 Stainless Steels Cookware Essential pans are a small saucepan, large stockpot, and both large and small sauté/skillet/fry 07 pan. It’s ideal to have lids that fit all or most of these pans. 08 Anolon 12-pc. Stainless Steel Tri-ply Clad Cookware Set Food Processor The food processor is best for chunky things like hummus, bean dips, pestos and nut-based sauces and desserts. 06 Cuisinart is my favorite brand and is tried and true. • Find Christy online: Check out the Our Team page!
