I remember the exact moment that began my lifetime of collecting wooden spoons. It was 20 years ago and I was hanging out with my friend Trudy as she cooked on her Garland, a commercial range which was rarely seen in home kitchens, and was the mark of a very serious cook. Just to the side of the stove, there was a canister crammed with all kinds of wooden spoons: light, dark, tall, short, fat-handled, and fragile-looking. I pulled one out that had a squat handle and long flat bowl.
“This is cool-looking,” I said. “What do you use it for?”
She told me how she had bought it the summer she took her girls to live in Provence, and how the older woman there who gave her cooking lessons used one just like it. She told me about the dishes she learned to make in the French countryside that summer, and how the smell of leeks cooking — and that spoon — always remind her of happily sweltering in the kitchen while her girls played just outside the open windows.
