I’ve been in the doldrums lately, which is odd and untimely considering the weather is so gobsmacking beautiful. To cure my ills, I’ve taken to cooking, as I often do when things get internally murky. So here’s a list of food related loves that have me feeling better(ish).
Am I right when I say that those brass kitchen utensil holders by KUMU are perfect? Yes, yes I am. (via ii-ne-kore and available here.)
These bread spoons by Niels Datema apparently give you the perfect measurements of flour, water, sugar, oil and yeast to make the perfect loaf of bread. Bread is always a deep-feeling comforter.
This was one of the first cookbooks my husband and I ever bought, and it’s still one of our most used and well-loved. In keeping with the Northern California sensibilities of fresh, whole foods, this book finds beautiful ways of reimagining some of the kitchen’s greatest staples — like scones, mashed potatoes and a wide array of delicious chutneys, not to mention an incredible (and easy) cheesecake. This book never fails me.
And this kitchen… ai caramba. It’s one of my favorites and belongs to Argentinean architect and designer Alejandro Sticotti (also one of my faves). The wood-marble-metal mashup has pretty much burned itself on my brain for all time. And that view is also fairly enviable. I feel loads lighter just looking at the place. Now… off to eat something.
