Learn how to equip your traditional foods kitchen in this two-part vodcast. In the first part of my vodcast, I talk about the essential equipment for your traditional foods kitchen. When I publish the second part of my vodcast in the near future, I’ll talk about the optional equipment that you can add to your kitchen. These vodcasts are for the Kitchen Pioneers who have joined my YouTube membership community.
