This is probably one of the best things I've spent my money on for the kitchen. I consider it a great investment. It works as beautifully as it looks.
this blog is about
- everything having to do with the place, experience and spirit of home and making our homes a place that we love. I am an architect and designer living in West Chester, PA (between Philadelphia and Lancaster) with my husband and daughter. I enjoy talking about home and all that it entails.

I can't live without: Nigella's Classic Whisk
Another kitchen edition of I can't live without: and long overdue.
Ever since the Style channel started running Nigella Lawson's cooking show (way back when!), I have been almost in love with her. Let's just say I have a huge girl-crush on her and her style in the kitchen. She's the only cooking personality that I'd be interested in sitting down to a meal with. i know I am repeating myself. Although I haven't mentioned Nigella in a long time, I have posted about her before. Consider this a reminder and update for you!
When we moved I discarded a lot of kitchen utensils that we accumulated over time but never used. I think we are down to a manageable amount (we might even be missing a couple of helpful things). I use Nigella's Classic Whisk for everything: making scrambled eggs, mixing vinaigrette dressing, aseembling my morning protein shake. It's little, but it works and it's light and easy to handle.
I also love Nigella's new-to-me website. You can view the whisk here and buy it here.
What is your favorite kitchen utensil?

I can't live without: french-pressed coffee
This is a new series called 'I can't live without:'. As I start another spending hiatus and continue to try to pare down the possessions that I already have, it has made me think harder about the things I couldn't live without, both essentials and luxuries.
My Bodum Chambord 8-cup coffee press will stay. Although we love (I really mean love...) our Cusinart Grind-N-Brew, there is nothing like making and enjoying French-pressed coffee on a Saturday morning. To me, it is like slow coffee, kind of like slow food.
Is there something in your own kitchen that you could not live without?
