The right tools: What every vegetarian household needs

It's important to have the right tools for the job. Having top notch stuff has made my job easier. I only vaguely recall trying to chop salads at lightning speed with dull knives. In order to truly share my recipes I need to share the tools of the trade.

Following are some of my most often used tools. All were used in the making of the Carrot Squash soup.

1. Awesome cutting board. This one is from Epicurean and is dishwasher friendly!
2. Santoku knife. I use this knife for EVERYTHING! Sharp and perfect! Pretty much every brand is great. This is a wustof.
3. Peelers: Carrot/Potato and large peeler. This is the most awesome carrot peeler. I bought it at a "as seen on tv" section at the flea market and it never fails me. The larger peeler is from WilliamsSonoma and peels the tough skin of butternut squash like it is actually butter!
