20 Cooks, 20 Knives: This month, we’re taking a close look at a chef’s most important tool: her knife. We asked 20 cooks, amateurs and professionals, to share their favorite knives and the stories behind them. While chef’s knives featured are prominently, no two are exactly alike, and there are also a few surprises.

As a photographer and creative director, Athena often has a busy and varied schedule to contend with. She needs a reliable yet affordable knife that can help feed her family of four in a pinch, or keep her company when cooking those rushed solo dinners. Athena also owns a more expensive chef’s knife gifted by her former-chef sister, but greatly prefers this IKEA workhorse.

Office meals are tough. Whether you bring something from home, buy something near your office, or are lucky enough to have meals provided for you, everyone needs a couple of all-star ingredients at their desk to make things more appetizing or easy to prepare.

My favorite thing to have on hand is powdered peanut butter. As Faith explained a couple years ago, powdered peanut butter is “essentially powdered peanuts that have been pressed to remove much of the oil and fats. Theoretically this leaves the taste, but reduces the fat and calories, leaving you with a peanut powder that can be reconstituted in water.” Popular brands include PB2, Peanut Butter Co., PBfit, and Just Great Stuff. You can find powdered peanut butter at health stores like GNC, certain grocery and wholesale stores, and online. It’s light and portable, doesn’t spoil or smell, and it’s versatile enough to complement anything from pad Thai to oatmeal.

Have I convinced you yet?

If you’re new to powdered peanut butter and just don’t know where to begin, fear not! Here are a handful of ideas for powdered peanut butter to get you started.

Not only will you love pulling this make-ahead sandwich out of the freezer on weekday mornings, but it will also totally change the way you think about egg whites. Skipping the yolks doesn’t have to mean leaving flavor behind. Mixed with half and half, plenty of seasoning, and flecked with fresh basil and chives, thick and creamy egg white rounds are the base of this fresh and flavorful English muffin breakfast sandwich.

When it comes to Mexican food, tacos typically get all the love and glory (I mean, they have a whole day dedicated to them each week), but tostadas are worthy of your attention, too. Essentially just an open-faced taco, the tostada features a crispy corn tortilla base and plenty of delicious toppings like grilled tuna, mashed avocado, and black bean-mango salsa.

We use our spatulas every single day. We couldn’t imagine cooking without at least one, although let’s be honest — even the minimalists among us have multiple spatulas in their kitchen tool jar (or drawer). And can you ever really have too many spatulas? There are so many different shapes, sizes, and materials, and each one has its own purpose.

Here are five types of spatula we can’t live without.

The whole show was so different that it took a couple of episodes to really embrace their chaotic brand of humor. Some viewers never did. I think that, in a way, their line about something different is very pertinent to everyone who has been doing the same thing for a long time. At some point we simply get too comfortable. That’s when we need something “completely different.”
