Today we're returning to our Savour Fare Kitchen series with a post on Essential Kitchen Tools.
While pots and pans are a little more universal due to either their straightforward functionality or their high space requirements, the tools you keep in your kitchen are idiosyncratic.
I have a tendency to pick up kitchen tools right and left -- people give them to me as gifts, I receive them in goodie bags at blog events, and I am magically drawn into every Sur La Table or Williams Sonoma I walk past.
As a result, this list is not going to be a comprehensive listing of my personal kitchen tools, nor can it be an exhaustive list of every ...

3. The Savour Fare Kitchen — Essential Cookware and BakewareJanuary 31st, 2010
Nothing frustrates me more than visiting someone's house and seeing their beautiful kitchen, decked out to the nines, and stocked with the latest kitchenware.
I compliment them on it, and the person says, "Oh thank you. But I never cook."
What a waste of good tools.
On the other hand, I also see the kitchens of people who really love to cook but don't have the right kitchenware, which is also frustrating. I think to the words of the great comedian, Eddie Izzard, who said "'Guns don't kill people, people do,' but I think the gun helps, you know? I think it helps. I just think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it?"
Having great tools isn't going to make you a great cook, but it's certainly going to ...

4. Jammin’ — Plum JamJuly 28th, 2009
Skip straight to recipe
I have a confession to make.
I have not been entirely truthful with all of you.
I have been cooking this summer, but not dinner, and not dessert.
I have been making jam. I understand jam making to be the latest trend among "hipsters" (google "hipster" and "canning" and you'll see what I mean.)
I never really thought of myself as a hipster, I mean, I'm certainly not a hippie because I don't like hiking or Phish, and I can't be a yuppie because it's not 1987, so I turned to Urbandictionary.com to determine if I am, in fact, a hipster.
A quick skim of the 138 definitions of hipster yields a person in their 20's or 30's (yes) who lives in Brooklyn (no), values "creativity, intelligence and witty banter" (yes), drinks a lot of P...
