In a restaurant kitchen, a towel never goes on your shoulder. I learned this the hard way. Two months into my first cooking job—and somewhere in the middle of what I thought was an impressive shift—I tossed a towel over my shoulder.

In a restaurant kitchen, a towel never goes on your shoulder. I learned this the hard way. Two months into my first cooking job—and somewhere in the middle of what I thought was an impressive shift—I tossed a towel over my shoulder.
The chef noticed, looked me in the eyes, and plainly said, “You know this isn’t your movie, right?”

Finding the perfect gift for anyone can be a daunting task—and finding the perfect gift for someone who also has impeccable taste only adds to the challenge. Whether they’re a designer by trade or simply obsessed with cultivating their space, our Shop has options to match pretty much any style, from mid-century modern to bold and contemporary. To help you gift with confidence this year, we’ve narrowed our selection down to 10 of our favorite design-forward picks.
This is a piece that feels much more luxurious than its $40 price tag, making it a great option for gifters on a budget. Designed for Dansk in 1988 by Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe, a Swedish silversmith and master jeweler, it’s made of gorgeous, stained acacia wood and comes with a striking, stainless steel cheese knife.

As we discussed last week, there are many ways to set a farmhouse-inspired dinner table. Whether you lean traditional or modern, the underlying feel of the design aesthetic tends to encapsulate a simple, chic, and cozy feel.
Typically, the modern farmhouse style is a combination of traditional farmhouse characteristics—brass accents, exposed woods, and antique pieces—with more modern touches, like glossy finishes, darker industrial metals, and soft, clean lines. From there, you can have even more fun by adding intentional pops of color, textures, or patterns—even with your cookware.

If you’re unfamiliar with what a piece like this could do for you and your kitchen, this tried-and-tested review of its smaller 3.4-quart twin will help paint the picture. Essentially, if you’re looking for something that can cook soup, stew, or pasta while you simultaneously grill bread, vegetables, or anything your heart desires without having to reach for a new pan, this larger, 6.4-quart take on our first 2-in-1 collaboration with French maker Staub was made for you. It might look like just another dish perfect for your one-pot dinner, but its lid doubles as a grill pan, which we think is pretty cool.

When it comes to setting up your Thanksgiving dining table, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Not only do you need to decide the place settings and which dishes will go where, but you also want to land on an overarching theme to tie everything together. Luckily, the modern farmhouse look is an easy, flexible style to achieve.

When it comes to building out your cookware collection, it's easy to get bogged down by all the options. Do you want a smaller skillet that's perfect for single-servings of eggs? Has cast iron been calling your name? Are you weighing the pros and cons of nonstick? Don't worry, we can help.
The good thing about selecting cookware is that there's really no wrong way to do it. Choosing the right skillet or set really just boils down to who you are, the kind of meals you make, your budget, and how much space you have. Someone with a limitless budget and sprawling cabinet space might spring for a 14-piece cookware set, while someone wanting to start small might opt for a single pan that can reliably do different things without breaking the bank.

If you’re hoping to streamline your cooking routine, it’s important that you have the right tools. Rather than overcomplicating your kitchen with unnecessary, single-use pots or appliances, investing in a few key, multitasking cookware items can make cooking easier and less daunting. They can also make you a better cook: With reliable, high-performing equipment, you can trust that the simplest of recipes will turn out great each time. These are five of our favorite, most versatile kitchen essentials that make cooking anything (and everything) a breeze.
If you’re looking for a piece of cookware that can do it all, a Dutch oven is likely your best bet. From braising and frying to sautéeing, roasting, and soup-making, there’s little that these multifunctional workhorses can’t do. We like this 7.5-quart beauty from Le Creuset because of its generous capacity and gorgeous colorways. Plus, like everything else from the brand, it will last for decades if taken care of properly.
