Tools
For the most part, the recipes in this book require tools
that are part of a basic kitchen setup: standard pots, pans,
baking sheets, and so on. However, some of the recipes,
particularly the desserts, rely on specialized tools, and there
are some tools that will simply make your life in the kitchen
easier.Spiral slicer
For: vegetable noodles, especially zucchini noodles
A spiral slicer makes it easy to cut vegetables into noodles—
see, for instance, the recipe for Zoodles on here.
I’m often asked what my favorite spiral slicer is. It depends
on the thickness of the noodle. For a thicker noodle, I love
the Veggetti Pro Table-Top Spiralizer. If you prefer a thin,
angel hair–like noodle, I recommend the Joyce Chen
Saladacco Spiral Slicer.
8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet
For: crepes, omelets, and wraps
