New additions to my kitchen staff!!!

The most envious part of watching international cookery shows (also, some Indian shows) are the beautiful equipment they use.. the knives, chopping boards, utensils, ceramics, mixers, blenders, whisks, the list could just go on and on and on.

It is envious to say these some of equipments used by these chef’s are not to be seen in any stores in mumbai (or maybe I haven’t seen much). It would definitely be magic to work with these equipments. Most of them would be expensive and so, as my passion turns into a compulsive hobby, I would get them slow and steady.

As I decide to start collecting piece-by-piece things that I most desire, here is the list of things I bought in the weekend  

1.  Hand mixer (inaugrated to make the coconut cake, and the feeling is indescribable)

2.    Baking bowls (6 cup cake sizes 6cms, 1 roundish tin 20cm)

3.    Chef’s knife (the feel is just great)

4.    Whisk

5.    Butter paper (not in the picture)
Mezzaluna


One thing I am really eager to purchase is the mezzaluna (picture below). This is extensively used by Nigella Lawson (British Food writer, journalist and broadcaster). Am a huge fan of her approach and guess will dedicate a blog specially for her, very soon.
I also want to get my hands on a good-looking apron and hand-gloves.



Will keep updating my latest kitchen family, as and when i recruit them!!!
