The workhorses
Pots & pans
Dutch oven
The pot I reach for most: soups, braises and every loaf of sourdough.
Cast-iron skillet
Gets better with every use. Rösti, frittatas and a proper sear.
Rimmed sheet pan
Roast vegetables, biscuits and one-pan suppers. Buy two.
Waffle iron
Deep pockets for butter and syrup, and it wipes clean in seconds.
Everyday essentials
Prep & tools
Chef's knife
One good knife does the work of five. Keep it sharp and it lasts for years.
Wooden chopping board
Room to prep a whole meal, with a groove to catch the juices.
Nesting mixing bowls
Three sizes that stack into one, and pretty enough to serve from.
Balloon whisk
For cream, eggs and waffle batter. The more wires, the better.
Worth the cupboard space
Baking & gadgets
Stand mixer
Sponges, meringue and bread dough while you get on with the rest.
Kitchen scale
Weighing beats cups every time, especially for bread and cakes.
Proofing basket
Gives a sourdough boule its shape and those floury rings.
Immersion blender
Silky soups straight in the pan, with no blender jug to wash.
