New Year, New Kitchen Skills
Have you ever cooked a chicken over a fire? I never had. In fact, the only thing I’d ever “cooked” over a fire was a marshmallow. That is, until I tested a firepit in my backyard. Before long, I was burying foil-wrapped potatoes in embers and casually slinging a spatchocked chicken over the pit’s grates.
I learned so many things: to chop wood, to build a fire, to coax the flames into burning low and slow. I scorched a few dinners, but then my skills (and my confidence) grew and the food turned out great.
In 2025, what skills do you want to hone? Will you learn to make perfect pizza or homemade pasta dough? Or become adept with
a charcoal grill
? For inspiration, take a look at our collection of gear to help you cook, grill, or bake your best. This time next year, won’t it be fun to reflect on where you started and where you ended up?

Must-Have of the week

A Molcajete
Whatever you learn to make this year will be better with an excellent sauce. I’d love to get my hands on this gorgeous molcajete. Its wide, shallow coarsely-textured bowl is excellent for breaking down ingredients so that pesto, curry pastes, spice blends, and of course salsa and guacamole have just the right texture. The pestle, known as a tejolote, offers a little extra control while pounding and grinding.
