With two decades under her belt as a professional cook, we can say with confidence that Better Food Guru (or, Sara) knows her stuff when it comes to keeping a well-stocked and efficient kitchen. We asked for her insight on tools you can use to improve your experience in the kitchen. Here's what she had to say:

"These are my top ten essential cooking tools for cooking in your home. They run the gamut from hand tools like my favorite chef knife, peeler, and can opener to my favorite cookware like a half sheet pan and wok. 

These are all the things you need to outfit your home kitchen in order to cook many different styles and dishes successfully. All of them are as versatile as can be, have great quality and functionality, and won't break the bank."

Sara's Top 10 Spices That Vegans Need in Their Arsenal
Sara Tercero, better known as @betterfoodguru on Instagram, has been in the food industry for over 25 years as a chef and a teacher, encouraging others to make small changes to their diets to achieve a healthier lifestyle. She currently runs a blog and Instagram, where she posts colorful and easy vegan recipes inspired by flavors around the world. 

After seeing her informative feed and her passion for healthy eating, we decided to contact her to prepare an article. She says, "Most people think food needs to be salty, sweet, or full of fat to be delicious, but I disagree. 

There are so many tasty and distinct spices that really kick up the natural flavors of healthy foods like vegetables and whole grains without adding tons of salt. Here, I'll be sharing my favorite spices that really elevate whole foods to a new level and will help you gain a new appreciation for meatless dishes."
