Things sure did get steamy today!
So, as y’all probably know by now, I’m in Scottsdale for a Thermador conference as they prepare to launch their brand new innovative steam and convection ovens. Today was pretty much like being in a giant IKEA kitchen section but getting to actually play with all the equipment around you.
I’m not complaining. While I, personally, am not in the market for any new kitchen appliances at the current moment (wahhh), it was still fun to dream. And eat delicious food. I now have a wish list going for a future house and going back to my hole in the wall apartment kitchen tomorrow evening will be cruel and unfortunate indeed.
Letting food bloggers loose in the ultimate test kitchen could be likened to releasing a puppy into the wild. If you actually released puppies into the wild, that is….which is something you should never do anyways. Just go with it.

All of your pictures are so perfect. You really captured what it was like to be there. Loved your puppy in the wild to blogger in the kitchen analogy. This post just makes me happy!

Love your Thermador model photo:) I really enjoyed meeting you. It was a fun couple of days and your cinnamon roll photos are stunning:)
I love Ikea but it is always torturous because I can’t buy what I want to decorate my house. It’s a company house and I have a budget :0(

Looks like they made some delicious foods.
