The Year's Most Popular Registry Trends

Creating a wish list for your dream kitchen means choosing gifts that perfectly reflect your shared tastes and lifestyle. To assist you with your registry selections, here's a guide to trend-setting gifts that will help you cook and entertain happily ever after.

Entertaining Essentials
Stylish entertaining begins with a full assortment of glassware. One of the best ways to start your collection is with Riedel's varietal-specific glasses, each customized for a particular type of wine. The Vinum series features elegant lead-crystal stemware, while "O" stemless tumblers present wine lovers with fresh, casual silhouettes. Whether the occasion is a casual weekend brunch or a grand holiday feast, this versatile glassware will serve you well for many years to come. Don't forget to register for bar accessories as well, including cocktail tools and the easy-to-use Leverpull wine opener.

Classic Stainless Steel
Stainless-steel kitchenware has a definitive sense of style that elevates it far beyond the realm of ordinary cooking equipment. A familiar sight in commercial kitchens, stainless steel is also a perennial favorite for the discerning home cook. Stainless-steel kitchen essentials include everything from cookware and kitchen electrics to gleaming stainless-steel tools and storage accessories.

Timeless White Dinnerware
When it comes to setting a memorable table, you can count on classic white dinnerware and serve ware. Reflecting the sophisticated simplicity typical of fine Parisian dining establishments, white dishes are as versatile as they are beautiful. You can mix them with your favorite patterned pieces, or pair them with different linens, flatware and glassware to create a variety of casual and formal table settings. Consider registering for restaurant-quality French porcelain from Apilco, as well as coordinating serving pieces from other fine European ceramists.

 

Premium Kitchenware
Cooking is more enjoyable than ever when your kitchen is stocked with top-quality equipment. Premium brands include All-Clad cookware, Wüsthof and Henckels cutlery, and electrics by Cuisinart, Capresso and KitchenAid. Accomplished cooks and beginners alike will want to register for sets of professional cookware and cutlery. Java lovers have a myriad of options, ranging from programmable coffeemakers to fully automatic espresso/coffee centers. Looking for a timesaving secret to fabulous home-cooked dinners? A programmable slow cooker lets you prepare everything from slow-simmered soups to fork-tender roasts - without spending hours in the kitchen. And if you plan to entertain outdoors, be sure to register for professional grilling tools. These are just a few ideas to consider. Choose the ones that best suit your culinary style - and get ready to savor the pleasures of cooking.
