I’m a huge Kitchen enthusiast, and I cook almost all my meals at home:

• I use Japanese knives for most of my items, anything heavy cutting is done by Wustoff.
• Just got all my cookware replaced by stainless steel (AllClad), I picked individual pieces rather then a set.
• cast iron for soup, curries.
• I bake so, kitchenaid is a must.
• I use Ninja professional for my blender/ grinder
• I order individual handmade plates from Japan, although it doesn’t match, I love it! I have a matching set for when guests come over
• I have cuisinart air fryer
• I use the French oven liner
• I mostly use handmade (random markets/ travel) cooking utensils that I picked up along the way. I found OXO to have good other items, but they have huge cooking spoons/ turner
• I eat rice everyday, so Zojirushi is a must!
• Thermapen is must have for every kitchen!
• Peugeot Paris for salt/ pepper mill
• And other random items, I just pickup while traveling, if the quality looks good. I have a spoon rest from Italy, serving bowl from Turkey, etc. It’ll remind me of the travel as well as its something different to what you get in the US.

I make sure to avoid buying matching sets as much, it’s aesthetically pleasing, but I want my kitchen to have that differences. Cooking is a big part of my life, so its important that its my comfortable space.
