Kitchen

This section is all about your space—the heart of your home: the kitchen itself.

In Kitchen, we focus on setting you up for success before you even crack an egg.

You’ll find:

  • Essential tools – the pots, pans, knives, and utensils that actually make a difference (and what you can skip).
  • Organizing your space – how to set up your counter, pantry, and drawers so cooking feels smoother and less stressful.
  • Cleaning as you go – little habits that keep your kitchen from looking like a hurricane hit it after every meal.
  • Creating a welcoming environment – music, lighting, involving the kids, and making your kitchen a place where memories get made.

We’ll talk about real-life setups:

  • Small apartments.
  • Busy family kitchens.
  • Shared spaces where everyone cooks.

The idea isn’t to have a “perfect” kitchen; it’s to have a working kitchen that fits your life. Even if all you have is one good pot and a small counter, you can still cook big-flavor meals. This section shows you how.

Mi Kitchen: Setting Up the Space Where the Magic Happens

You don’t need a fancy kitchen to cook amazing food. You just need a space that works for you.

This section is all about your setup—tools, layout, and little habits that make cooking smoother and more enjoyable.

Essential Tools (You Don’t Need Everything)

Instead of buying every gadget, focus on a good core set:

  • A sharp chef’s knife
  • A sturdy cutting board
  • One good frying pan
  • One or two solid pots (including a medium or large one with a lid)
  • A baking dish or sheet pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

With these basics, you can cook a huge variety of dishes.

Organizing Your Space for Flow

Think about how you move in the kitchen:

  • Keep knives, boards, and main tools near your prep area.
  • Store pots and pans close to the stove.
  • Put spices and oils somewhere you can reach easily while cooking.

The idea is simple: less running around, more cooking.

Clean as You Go (Without Stress)

A few quick habits:

  • Fill the sink with warm, soapy water before you start.
  • Drop used utensils and small items in there as you go.
  • Wipe counters while food simmers or bakes.

When the meal is done, cleanup doesn’t feel like a mountain.

Make the Kitchen a Place People Want to Be

Good food is more than ingredients—it’s atmosphere:

  • Put on some music or a podcast while you cook.
  • Let kids or family help with simple tasks.
  • Keep a stool or chair nearby so someone can sit and chat with you.

Your kitchen becomes a place of connection, not just work.
