I really love a good pair of kitchen shears. If you have a lot of cutting to do it makes it much easier. (For like, kebobs and stuff)
Fresh herbs. They make so much of a difference over the dried herbs. I suggest a little potted indoor window box. Basics: Italian flat leaf parsley, basil, oregano. (And for me cilantro, cuz I make mexican a lot)
A small hand grater for garlic. (I use garlic A LOT, and I don't like garlic presses)
oh! How could I forget...I could NOT live without my electric kitchen thermometer. It's so great. It takes the guess work out of cooking meats. And you never have to cut your meat in half to make sure it's cooked.
I have a garlic grater. That's a must, garlic is almost its own food group! I don't have that thermometer thing. I really would like a mini food processor. Then I can use it for hummus.
ooh yeah growing your own herbs is great, I love the scents and flavors they are so fresh and so much more intense than the dried stuff.
Sometimes I'll eat cilantro or basil by itslef just snack on it while i work in my garden
so good haha
