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, 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, 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. The brand curates a thoughtful selection of kitchen products that not only look good, but are superfunctional.
