I have lists in both of my books of all of my favorite tools and what they are used for, as well as guides to find my favorite brands of food.

Because I use them so many times during the day, I decided to keep my pots and pans on open shelving beneath the range to make them more accessible. We also save money by not building out the entire island, and I got this great customizable shelf from the Container Store. I'm loving the new stainless steel line from Le Creuset, but for something more affordable, the Kirkland line of stainless pots and pans works wonderfully. I cooked with them for years before these!

I love my baking drawer! Beneath it is all of my baking pantry items, and right above in the drawers are all of my measuring spoons, measuring cups, and spatulas. I keep my stand mixer right above the drawers on the countertop so I can stay in my little baking corner without having to move around too much to find things!

Since taking this photo, I've added 3 more sets of measuring cups and measuring spoons to my drawer! I cannot keep them clean long enough when I spend an 8 hour day testing new recipes!

An immersion blender is so handy when I don't want to dirty my stand mixer and just have something small to whisk up, or when I don't want to puree in the blender and just want to do a quick puree.

Love your kitchen just as much as I love your books, thank you for posting the details! Love the work space, placement of pans and number of seats around it, Would you share the dimensions of your island?
Danielle
You’re welcome! The island is a very unusual size, but it’s around 4 ft. x 8 ft.

We make a lot of Cauliflower mock mashed potatoes and Cauliflower crust pizza. It’s important to squeeze out the water from the Cauliflower after it has cooked. The problem is that you have to wait for the Cauliflower to cool. Do you have an easy way to squeeze the water out of hot cauliflower? Since cauliflower is in season, I’m making a lot of “potatoes” and pizza crust and freezing them for winter use. I’d really like an easier way to squeeze the water out.

Could you make it up weekly and cool, then salad spin it and freeze individual portions (say 1 cup per container) for use later? Just wondering…

The salad spinner doesn’t get the water out of the cauliflower. I put the cauliflower in cheesecloth and then squeeze the water out. I was thinking of something along the lines of a fruit press.

Okay, thanks for telling me, I haven’t tried using cauliflower in this way yet, so good to know!
