Tested, trusted, and totally loved.

​

When I say I’ve spent hours researching tools, testing pans, and obsessing over olive oil... I mean it. This collection is the result of countless moments in the kitchen (and online at midnight), figuring out what actually works, what lasts, and what brings a little extra joy to the experience.

​

These are the things I couldn’t live without while cooking through Theo’s recipes, the must-haves while in class at Cordon Bleu in Paris, and the items I was excited to use again the moment I walked back into my Door County kitchen. Mixed in, you’ll also find some of my favorite local gems—things that reflect the slower, richer, more meaningful life I came here to build.

​

From cooking and hosting to creating and connecting, this is a curated space where every pick has a purpose—and a story. If something’s on this list, it’s because it helped me learn, grow, or fall back in love with the simple joy of making something from scratch.

​

So take a peek, try something new, and if it makes your life a little easier, tastier, or more inspired—well, then we’re doing something right.
