Friends, let me tell you – YES, it’s worth it.
For the past several years, we’ve spent a lot of time really elevating our cooking skills. In fact, it’s been one of the most fulfilling aspects in recent years. We sincerely love trying and testing new recipes. Most evenings, you’ll find me on YouTube watching various cooking shows, from basic skills to really advanced techniques.
Thankfully, we’ve cooked a ton more, from David Chang’s Bo Ssam recipe to Julia Child’s iconic beef bourguignon. In general, we continue to test a bunch of new recipes, from seafood to steak-based dishes, noodle and curry delights, and beyond.
In that process, we’ve learned the importance and value of the tools, techniques, and yes – even how we organize things in the kitchen. It makes all the difference.
The foundation of any great kitchen starts with amazing products and overall organization. Total game changer!
