Kitchen Basics

Building a well-stocked kitchen and mastering fundamental techniques makes everyday cooking easier.

Essential Equipment

A few reliable pieces make a big difference: a good chef’s knife, cutting board, sturdy pots and pans, and basic utensils. You don’t need a professional kitchen — just tools that feel comfortable and last.

Fundamental Techniques

Mastering basics like chopping, sautéing, and simmering gives you confidence for any recipe. We focus on techniques used in Swiss and European home cooking so you can repeat results every time.

Stocking Your Pantry

Keep staples on hand: olive oil, butter, flour, salt, pepper, and a few herbs. With these, you can build many Swiss-inspired dishes without last-minute shopping.
