Ivy's COOK THE STEAK, DON'T STAKE THE COOK apron.
I'll use the knives for spreading jam, and the gas to warm my greying love.
I have a theory that kitchens, once they reach a certain level of complexity, attract new gadgets into their orbit, like planets. Only this can account for the fact that I own two melon ballers.
The most important thing in the kitchen is the waste paper basket and it needs to be centrally located.
People love giving cooks spoons, I've noticed. Or, at least, they love giving them to me.
The best value for money in cooking equipment, in my mind, is first a digital scale and digital thermometer. They're both about $20. They help you cook so much more accurately that they're both enormously valuable.
Since my kitchen is the most important part of my home, I want to be creative and innovative, not only in its aesthetic, but also in the tools that I'm using to cook.
In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.
I only wear red socks in the kitchen. They bring me luck.
