best kitchen buys |

I am a gadget girl…especially if they are kitchen or cookware products and gadgets. My kitchen has almost everything that opens and shuts. I am the kind of person that once I walk into a kitchen shop I leave with ten items that I didn’t need but totally wanted. And I definitely should not be left unattended on Yuppiechef…I always see so many kitchen things I need. I also love the fact that they have expanded their selection to include food, wine and beer.

So basically after a lot of surfing online and kitchen gadget shopping, I have put together a wishlist of my best buys for your kitchen. I have included images of the products and also a short description. If you find anything that you think I should know about, please leave a comment, I am always looking for awesome kitchen buys.
