Cooking
I love cooking and am currently wrapping up my chef degree in culinary school. However, I don't think you need expensive gear or knives to cook well. Here are a couple of things I do think are amazing.
- Microplane zester
- Gas burner —can be found for much less on Ali Express !
- Green egg (fake one, just as good at the fraction of the cost)
