Potty about Pots

To me, an essential part of being a foodie is having a well stocked kitchen.  Not just the random oils and unidentifiable bottles of something picked-up in my local Turkish store while just a little ratted but proper kitchen implements.

I love my:

        Wooden spoons – all slightly burnt but truly special.  I realise that some recipes are not supposed to be stirred with wooden spoons but these tend to fail on my any how so back away from the spoons.

        Big mixing bowl – I don’t bake as many cakes as I would love to but there is something strangely comforting about a proper honest-to-go mother-had-one mixing bowl. 

        Skillet – I bought mine in Spain and managed to get it back via Ryanair (boo sucks I fooled you, you weight watchers) and it is perfect for cooking steaks.  Ridged, perfect and a nice weight.

        Big pot – Ooo, nothing as good as a proper stew pot.  I bought mine from a local Indians store and it is a joy.  Even has a little hole in the list to let out a little steam and the smell.

Far too excited about certain kitchen wear but I suppose such is the lot of a foodie
