Best of Boston

A good cook knows a sharp knife is the fundamental ingredient of any recipe, and Kitchen Arts is the place to find a knife that will satisfy your inner Mario Batali. (It also sells sharpening steels for gourmands who want a surgeon’s edge.) Once you get past the knives, you’re ready for the nirvana of kitchen tools and accessories here, from tea strainers and seafood forks to copper pots and pans.
