Many times my guests and I have discussed the importance of having good tools to work with in the kitchen. As with any art form, the tools you use to practice the art of home will have a direct impact on the quality of your work. That's not to say you can't get good results with poor tools, but you will have to work a lot harder to get those results. 

In this Monday Motivation, I'm sharing my suggestions for essential kitchen tools that are worth the splurge for higher quality.
