 One day we looked around our kitchen and noticed two things: (1) We had hundreds of pieces of cookware, cutlery, and utensils - and we rarely used any of it! Except, that is, for 30 or so key pieces, which we used all the time. (2) Most of those key pieces came from commercial kitchens and restaurant suppliers, not fancy stores in the mall (and we had plenty of that stuff too). As a result of these revelations, we decided to pare down our kitchen to the essentials - the few dozen professional tools we actually used. And then it hit us - most kitchen supplies widely available to the public are either overpriced status symbols, or inexpensive junk that's lucky just to survive the trip home. There were very few, if any, options available to people who wanted high quality kitchen essentials at a reasonable price. So we decided to create just that - an affordable, professional kitchen set for everyday use, composed of the very same essential pieces that we use in our own kitchen. That's the simple concept behind My Pro Kitchen. My Pro Kitchen was created by Christopher & Elizabeth (with a little help from Chauncey).We created My Pro Kitchen as a result of our borderline-obsessive love affair with food and the art of cooking. Christopher is a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur whose parents taught him to cook and appreciate fine food from a very young age. Elizabeth is a producer for a national diet brand, where she helps create recipes, and serves as their in-house graphic designer. Chauncey is our beloved French Bulldog. He didn't really help us create My Pro Kitchen, but he does a great job cleaning stray bits of food off the kitchen floor (and he looks pretty good in a chef’s hat!). |
