Every few months, a piece in the New York Times Food Section makes it really worthwhile to go to the site, fill out the form and register to read NYT online.
It’s an excellent explainer for putting together a kitchen cheaply, by Mark Bittman — aka The Minimalist.
“The point is not so much that you can equip a real kitchen without much money, but that the fear of buying the wrong kind of equipment is unfounded. It needs only to be functional, not prestigious, lavish or expensive.
“Keep that in mind, stay out of the fancy places and find a good restaurant supply house. If you make a mistake — something is the wrong size or of such lousy quality you can’t bear it — you can spend 20 bucks more another time. Meanwhile, you’ll be cooking.”
Go. Register. Read. Thank me later.
i’m not sure why it took me over one year to find this post linking to this article.
this is great stuff.
