Most people who are serious home chefs have an origin story that involves learning at the knee of a parent or grandparent. I, on the other hand, felt called to the kitchen after watching cooking shows on Saturday mornings. I was an incredibly picky eater growing up, so the appeal was often less about the finished product and more about the process. I was mesmerized by the sounds, sights, and, mostly, the order with which food was created. When I attempted to make things, the kitchen was chaos. In the world of food TV, there was an calm rhythm that made things seem effortless and achievable.
It was only years later, when I got my first job at a food publication, that I learned what had me so hypnotized: the process of mise en place. At the same time, I realized that I needed my own glass prep bowls — and I fell for thesestackable bowls by Duralex.
