Gwyneth and Mario Share Their Kitchen Must Haves

September 18, 2008

Yesterday Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow were featured guests on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The celebrity chef and actress promoted their food-related travel series, Spain . . . on the Road Again, which debuts Sept. 20 on PBS. Gwyneth and a newly slimmed-down Mario each shared five kitchen items they can't live without. To find out what they were, read more.

Mario Batali loves:

His Kitchenaid pasta-maker attachment
His home cured olives
His microplane
Extra virgin olive oil
His nesting mixing bowls for the perfect mise-en-place

Gwyneth Paltrow loves:

Her steamer
Global knives
Cast iron skillets
Her digital timer
Her wine sealer

What are your kitchen must haves? Will you watch Spain . . . on the Road Again this weekend?

My bf and I watched this, and laughed the whole time. They showed GP in her exercise room, w/ apple orchards outside, and then they flip to her and MB cooking it up w/ OW. Oh, too much celebrity to handle.

i'm not surprised at all about those things - for mario - i feel like pasta is a staple in what he does since italian food is where he got his start, and for gwyn - the steamer makes a lot of sense. for me - my must haves are my wine fridge and my cheese slicer. i can't live without either since i think that my diet is all about cheese.

Can't stand Oprah, the others are okay though. I am currently looking for a KitchenAid mixer to add to my could-not-live-withouts, but until then: Wooden cooking spoons/spatulas Magnalite pot Stock pot Good skillet Knives

I think before she had her first child, Gwyneth was on a strict macrobiotic diet of some kind. It is strange to see her hanging out with Mario Batali now.
