From the recipes.
Every tool and pantry item a recipe on this site asks for, by dish.
Nothing here is a catalogue. Each one is linked because a recipe on this site reaches for it, and the note beside it is the reason. Produce and proteins are not on this page; those you buy local.
Rosemary-Lemon Shortbread Cookies
The recipe · with a lemon sugar top
- Adjustable Wooden Rolling Pin with thickness rings the 1/4 inch ring is the recipe. Roll until the rings touch the board and stop
- AGIgear Stainless Steel Adjustable Rolling Pin the same idea in steel, if wood is not your thing
- MMmat Silicone Baking Mats, German silicone nothing sticks, no parchment, and they outlive a season of cookies
Pan-Roasted Filet Mignon
The recipe · with a roasted garlic and peppercorn crust and a Cabernet demi-glace
- ThermoMaven P2 WiFi Wireless Meat Thermometer, two probes the 110°F stop and the final pull are the recipe. Guess either and it is a different dinner
- Offcuts Kitchen 100 percent Grass-Fed Beef Demi-Glace, 8 oz the fewest ingredients of any demi-glace I found. Make it up per the label before it goes in
- Vitamix Ascent X2 SmartPrep Kitchen System blender and food processor in one, built for abuse. It kills two birds with one stone
Five-Spice Moulard Duck Breast
The recipe · with a blueberry-ginger demi, potato-parsnip purée, and crispy parsnip peels
- ThermoPro TempSpike Wireless Meat Thermometer the probe stays in from the cold pan to the oven, so 120°F is a number you see, not a guess
- U-Taste 12 inch Kitchen Tongs, Midnight Blue long enough to press the breast down without your knuckles over the fat
- New Star Foodservice 8 inch Fine-Mesh Chinois the demi goes through it twice. A colander will not do this
- Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion Blender, 3-piece for the demi, head under the surface. The one I would buy
- KitchenAid KHBV53 Variable-Speed Hand Blender the other immersion blender worth owning, if the Vitamix is more than you want to spend
- 13 1/2 inch Heat-Resistant Silicone Spatulas, set of 2 for pressing the sauce through the chinois without forcing the solids
- OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Potato Ricer the purée goes through this, never a blender
- OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Food Mill the ricer's alternative. One or the other, not both
Pecan Vanilla Praline
The recipe · with two sugars, heavy cream, Kerrygold butter, and a Madagascar vanilla bean
- ThermoPro TP510 Candy Thermometer reads in a second and clips to the pot. 246°F is the whole recipe
- Caraway 9x13 Ceramic Baking Sheet the pan the praline cools and sets on
- Silpat Premium Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat reusable parchment. It goes on the half sheet pan and nothing sticks to it
- 10 inch High-Temp Silicone Spatula, 500°F boiling sugar eats a cheap spatula
- Kerrygold Salted Irish Butter, 8 oz the butter is half the flavor here, and it is always Kerrygold
- Organic Valley Heavy Whipping Cream, 16 fl oz heavy cream, 40 percent fat. See the chef secret
- Madagascar Vanilla Beans, pack of 5 one in the pot, the rest in the sugar jar
Honeycrisp and Stilton Salad
The recipe · with pecan praline, shaved fennel, and a lemon vanilla-bean vinaigrette
- Benriner Japanese Vegetable Slicer the mandoline for the apple and the fennel: safer, faster, every cut the same
