Mind you I cook everything from scratch.
Not because I am special but because I enjoy as much stress as I can have in my life.
My must haves:
Kitchen Aide Pro Mixer
Micro plane graters
good knives
cast iron & good heavy gauge stainless cookware
silicone baking sheets
my cusinart mini chopper---- 15 years running and use it at least 6 times a week
On my wish list:
one of those mandoline slicer thingys
a dehydrator
yogurt maker
I just started making my own sprouts --- so easy!
