Cooking should be a very big part in everybody's life. It relates us to others and sustains our health. There are many kitchen articles I really like and consider indispensable:

• A good saute pan
• A properly-sized boiler and colander
• A nice chopping board and a good knife ("cortador")

I love teas--especially a blend of mint, sage and rue (what I call "Laughing Raven Tea").

Rosemary and Bay Leaves should be handy in every kitchen.

 And . . . most importantly--

Don't forget the wine!   Click here for access to the Laughing Raven Wine Collection.
