Stock up your kitchen with some of the hottest new cookbooks of the past year. For seafood lovers, Fish Butchery by Josh Niland is a nose-to-tail recipe guide, while Cook It Wild by Chris Nuttall-Smith will help you with preparing food for camping and backpacking. After your meal is through, crack open Snacking Bakes by Yossy Arefi for a unique take on baking featuring recipes meant to be prepared and consumed same-day.

OTTO’s Turkish Coffee Pot is a design-centric vessel with an ergonomic handle that will make you excited to get into this technique.
Hay Sowden Toaster
You’ll likely know Hay for its stylish yet playful furniture designs, but did you know it made a toaster? Named for George Sowden, this colorful unit will be just as much a conversation piece in your kitchen as it is a way to enhance your breakfast experience with seven settings and a long slot big enough for two slices.
Fellow Tally Pro Precision Scale
Whether you’re on a diet or measuring beans for pour over coffee, you should get yourself a quality kitchen scale. A few months back, Fellow unveiled its Tally Pro Precision Scale, sporting a sleek design and three modes, including Brew Assist Mode, which helps you get the proper water-to-coffee ratio.
AirHood Wireless Air Cleaner
Not every food produces desirable aromas that permeate the air. Sometimes, even if unintentionally, the clouds that waft through your kitchen are enough to make it hard to breathe. To hurry along the process, grab this portable AirHood Air Cleaner, which not only looks great in your kitchen but can remove smoke and odors from the room while also helping reduce grease and oil buildup.
Anova Precision Cooker 3.0

Beast Health Blender
Beast has a new solution to keep you eating healthy smoothies and shakes with the brand’s Health Blender, a design-forward stainless steel unit that’s incredibly user-friendly and, if you select the Tonal or Plus models, you get a matching to-go bottle.
Philips Artisan Smart Pasta & Noodle Maker

Capable of making 10 different pasta shapes, this Philips Artisan Smart Pasta & Noodle Maker is fully automated to weigh the flour and help you proportion the liquid.
The James Brand The Anzick
Few things in the kitchen are more invaluable than a great chef’s knife. Earlier this year, The James Brand debut its Anzick, an 8-inch blade unit made in partnership with Sitka Gear and intended to bring the durability of a fixed-blade field knife to the cutting board.
Caraway Stainless Steel Cookware Set
For cooking meals big or small, it’s important to have a solid cookware set. Caraway recently added a few stainless steel pieces to its arsenal of quality pots and pans, including a 6.5qt Dutch Oven and Mini versions of its Sauce Pan and Fry Pan.
Weber SmokeFire EX6 (2nd Gen) Wood Fired Pellet Grill
A standard gas grill is perfect for burgers and salmon, but if you fancy brisket and ribs, you’ll want a wood-fired pellet grill like the SmokeFire EX6 from Weber. That said, smoking takes a lot of time and attention to perfect, which is why the brand has equipped this unit with Weber Connect, a step-by-step grilling assistant that notifies you via smartphone when it’s time to flip and serve your food.
