Among the activities I filled my time with during lockdown, cooking has been a particularly delicious one. In just a few months, my husband and I made most of the recipes in our cookbooks [1], which made for fun-filled food parties for two. It's been a joyful way of breaking up the monotony of our routines and carving out time for each other.
As spring quickly approaches, we're on the lookout for new tools, spices [2], and recipe books to bring more novelty to our home chef life. One site I've found myself browsing on many occasions is Food 52 [3]. The brand curates a thoughtful selection of kitchen products that not only look good, but are superfunctional.
Read on for the finds I have my eyes on.
