#142 - Best (and Worst!) Kitchen Tools with Anita of Nose to Tail Recipes

Years ago on Instagram I came across an amazing creator, generously sharing delicious and nourishing recipes. I fell in love with her recipes and they became staples in our kitchen to this day, and over time a friendship developed as we began to chat and then text back and forth. One day i got up the courage to ask her to be on the podcast and she said yes, and you've heard her first episode; it’s way back on Episode 55 where Anita and I discuss her process of creation and her incredible recipes, all shared for free on her website, now nosetotailrecipes.com.

Anita and her family visited our family farm in Washington State and we sat down together to record what turned out to be this hilarious episode where we shared with each other our favorite and least favorite kitchen tools. Things got hysterical, or we did anyway, as we could not always agree on whether a tool was primarily useful or useless, and we surprised each other with some unexpected tools that neither of us would have ever thought of and we both wanted to purchase by the end of the episode!

I have shared as many resource links as possible in the show notes as well as a rough list of the subjects we covered. You can also view this episode on our Ancestral Kitchen Podcast YouTube channel, with the video that took us several hours to figure out how to make. For supporters of the podcast, there is a bonus Aftershow where we talked about travel food and more.

If you have wondered about our real thoughts on ice cream makers or juicers, or whether cast iron waffle makers really work or not, this will be an episode you are going to enjoy. Do you think we put the right ones on the dud tool list, or did we get it wrong? Let us know your favorite tools and which ones we missed!
