I love to cook... I find it relaxing, an almost a zen like experience..taken classes at various cooking schools etc..

All Clad makes great pots and pans, like the others said a few black iron fry pans (well seasoned) are a must.

When it comes to knives I love the Global brand, I just picked up a ceramic Kyocera knife its amazing, like a feather in my hand..

I also have a selection of japanese sushi blades..my mother used to go to japan frequently and would alway bring me back a new knife..

You can go as nuts equiping your kitchen as you can with your Porsche
