Our Kitchen & Home Wisdom

Whether we’re whipping up waffles or washing dishes, setting the table or twirling spaghetti, we believe in eating thoughtfully and living joyfully. These ideas guide us in the kitchen and the rest of the home.

HOW YOU EAT IS HOW YOU LIVE.

We shop for, organize, and design our homes with the same care we put into cooking and eating—from taking the time to source ingredients we love to preparing and enjoying them.

SIMPLICITY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.

What’s beautiful (and delicious) should also be accessible, and some of our favorite ingredients and solutions are the simplest. All that matters is that you love it.

BUY FEWER, BETTER-QUALITY THINGS.

Whether food items or home goods, it’s better to have a little of something you use often and will continue to cherish than a lot of something you don’t love and won’t use. Our wooden butcher block was a solid investment, but it’s the only one we have—and it sees a lot of our daily dinner prep.

WASTE NOT.

Thoughtful consumption is the name of the game. We try to buy and cook only what we need, get creative with leftovers, and clean up with an eye toward eco-friendliness—meaning with as few chemicals and single-use anythings as possible.

SHOP SMALL.

We’re talking buying from farmers, artisans, mom-and-pops, and food co-ops. When we have the option to support independent makers, we do.

COOK AT HOME AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

Making a meal in the comfort of your own kitchen is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Cooking is one of the most meaningful things anyone can do—for the environment, for your creativity, for bringing people together.

ANYBODY CAN COOK AND COOK WELL.

Even if you can’t quite boil water or you always seem to burn your toast (hey—us, too), the tools and know-how in these chapters will inspire you to get cooking. To the kitchen!
