Cooking a proper meal requires the right tools – shiny and sharp, beautiful but efficient. But with so many different tools to buy, how do you know when your kitchen is complete?

Knifewear

10816 82 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 2B3

If you’re a knife snob (nothing wrong with that), you’ll drool over the selection of Japanese knives in Knifewear. Want to try a Kasumi knife? How about a Mcusta Nami? If you know what any of these words mean, you’re off to a good start. If not, the knife-obsessed staff will point you in the right direction, and will even hand-sharpen your knives for a small fee. In addition to every knife your kitchen will ever need, they also sell accessories such as whisks, oyster shuckers and peelers.

Zenari's

135-10180 101 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 3S4

This cute restaurant started off as a kitchenware store, and that’s still the part I enjoy visiting the most when I’m there. The store is chock-full of kitchen accessories, cookware and dinnerware, with high-end brands, such as Le Creuset. Zenari’s also has a ton of fun stuff from Alessi, like adorable ceramic bird salt and pepper shakers. Their website’s Feature of the Week highlights items you might otherwise have never known you needed. Plus, the store will special order a lot of items upon request from their more popular brands.

Barbs Kitchen

2-9766 51 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 0A6

This place has kitchen gadgets I’d never heard of before (a dough docker?) to those I never knew how much I needed (a whip cream dispenser). There’s everything from tortilla makers to crème brulee torches to Spaetzle makers. For cookware, there’s plenty of stainless steel beauties, including Le Creuset and Demeyere, and ceramics, such as Emile Henry. It’s an awesome place to stock up on escargot dishes, butter crocks and cotton candy machines.

Hillaby's Tools For Cooks

101 Riel Dr, St Albert, AB T8N 1N1

Located in the Enjoy Centre in St. Albert, Hillaby’s name says it all. They carry kitchen supplies from dozens of brands, including La Rochere, Vera Wang, Trudeau and Duck Soup. It’s all about quality supplies here, so it’s a good place to register for kitchen items when you’re getting married or moving into a new home.

Kombucha tea, a slightly bubbly fermented drink made with a green or black tea base, is a sweet but healthy alternative to pop. Makers claim it can aid in digestive health, plus it just tastes fantastic. Often made from organic, raw ingredients, kombucha teas have exploded in popularity in the past decade. These Edmonton shops carry a variety of brands, including some Canuck favourites.
