Kitchen Necessities

Have you ever tried to cook in someone else's kitchen? Flavor always fails and something usually gets burned. You know your own kitchen like the back of your hand—you can reach blindly for the oregano, shake it into the pot and put it back on the shelf—all while reading the recipe.

Cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen is never as successful as your own; you invest time in your own culinary corner, making sure that the grinder is full of peppercorns, the flour canister is topped up and so on. There's nothing worse than being low on ingredients when you're in the middle of a recipe.

And the ingredients you choose are just as important. Here's a few items that we wouldn't even think of being without.

Organic Selimbong Tea

Since tea is too often heavily sprayed with pesticides, organic tea is our tea of choice. Selimbong tea is grown in the foothills of the Himalayas and has the authentic Darjeeling flavor built in.

Mortar and Pestle

You could use a rolling pin and a ziplock bag, but why would you when you can have such a beautiful tool sitting on your kitchen shelf?

Arborio Rice

The only rice for risotto.

Kobricks Coffees of the World
