I'm a pretty serious foodie. My love of food started at an early age and only grew as my abuelita and mami taught me how to cook. To this day, whenever I go home to visit my mom, she's always got a cool new kitchen tool. Sometimes it's something silly (like a watermelon knife) and other times it's something that I now use almost all the time (like my avocado peeler).
No matter what the brand new gadget I'm eyeing, I definiltey have my top 10 kitchen tools that I absolutely, positively could NOT live without. These are the tools that make me happy, help me make great food and keep me coming back for more...food, that is!

Pressure Cooker
What kind of Latina would I be if I didn't have a love affair with my pressure cooker? My mom taught me how to use one early on and it's pretty much the only way that I know to prepare frijoles negros (Cuban black beans) and my abuelita's delicious moros y cristianos. I've even made bean soups in it!
