Not too expensive, but nice cooking gifts

Let me loose in the cooking store Duikelman on Ferdinand Bolstraat and I can easily spend at least an hour there. I am very satisfied with my little kitchen now, but the goal is to have one later that is five times as big. All the appliances on the counter, a Cooker please, preferably a regular oven and a steam oven, also a separate part where I can grill on the stove, a plate warmer would also not be an unnecessary luxury and oh yes, plenty of countertop space so that I can also read a newspaper on the other side while I am cooking. Sorry, I am just daydreaming. Now I just have to hold back a bit to not buy too much in such a store, because I don't have enough space right now and maybe a shoe or a jacket less would also not be a bad idea to be able to afford it at all. For now, I stick to nice cooking gifts for others. Just as well.

These two cute little cups help you poach a perfect egg, because that can sometimes go wrong. At least for me.

A good serving spoon is worth its weight in gold. Usually, you just use the largest spoon that is in your drawer or one that you bought somewhere years ago. Seriously, a real serving spoon is a treat. Also for the eye.

You can quickly elevate your dish when you use fresh herbs. Now you can buy a basil, parsley, or mint plant at the supermarket for less than three euros and this is a handy container to keep and care for it. Andthat is an art!

Here you can make very cute strands of vegetables. For example, zucchini pasta, my all-time favorite skinny spaghetti.
