I moved to Miami from NYC and now have an apartment with a great kitchen that I want to make use of. The only issue is that I don't know how to cook. I just bought "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child. Now that I have some recipes I need things to cook food with (right now all I have are utensils, cereal bowls, glasses and plates).
I'm trying to create a list of the things I'll need. Maybe not everything to cook every esoteric type of dish, but the basic items that will allow me to cook the majority of meals in a cookbook. Call it the 80/20 rule.
Can anyone help to provide me with help/recommendations for what I need to get? Please be specific (should I get a 4-inch pan? made of steel or copper? specific brands?)
In terms of price/quality, I want things that lie around what I'm going to call the "Allen Edmonds inflection point". What I mean by that, is that I'm willing to pay for good quality items that will last a long time, but not things that are exorbitantly expensive.
