This is about where you can get kitchen equipment that is better quality, lower in price, and often longer-lasting than what you will find in your regular Bed, Bath & Beyond; Linens & Things; or department store.
Our first stop is JB Prince. JB Prince is a chef's paradise, the mecca of all culinary stores. I have not had the pleasure of visiting the actual store in New York, but you can find just about anything online. I highly recommend the saute pans listed in an earlier post. They also have a great selection of hard-to-find pastry and cookbooks, many imported from Europe. They don't require you buy wholesale, open an account, or have a minimum order.
Another good source for cookware, books, and especially pastry equipment (they carry all the Matfer-Bourgeat stuff from France) is restaurantsource.com. They are more commercial oriented. However, they have great prices for pastry and chocolate equipment.
While Jessica's Biscuit has a good selection of cookbooks and good prices, I still can't get some of the European titles from them. I have also found better prices on half.com for many of the cookbooks I am interested in or have purchased. And I have seen better prices for some popular cookbooks like The Silver Spoon and the new Gourmet Cookbook at Costco. I have not tried shopping at Kitchen Arts & Letters in New York, but they are supposed to have a great selection.
