Welcome to my mega list of kitchen essentials for a new home! This list is great for anyone who may be a beginner cooker and needs kitchen essentials, or especially if you’re on the way to being a newly wed and need to add some great items to your registry. My kitchen is my second favorite space in my home (a close second to my bedroom) because it’s really where everything goes down. From cooking for my family, cooking with my family, and entertaining when we have guests over. It’s the family hub!

I took the time to gather a list of my favorite items in my kitchen, plus a few of my dream kitchen items as well. I’ve taken a look at a few of the recipes my husband and I have tried and have curated a list of the tools you’ll likely use on a daily basis if you cook a lot, plus tools that you may find interesting to try at some point. If you’re new to the kitchen and just trying to get a few stable items, below is a list of a few kitchen essentials we use very frequently and will get you well on your way to building your own stash of kitchen must haves.
