That’s how we came across Kirill Babii’s hand-made wood utensils. Both minimal and beautiful, his work includes anything from a wooden spoon to a bell jar. “I like working with my senses,” remarked Babii in an interview with the Etsy blog where he explained his creative process. “The materials, and the function and requirements of the piece to create the best possible combination—something that distills the very best of everything and keeps only the most necessary elements.”

According to Babii, good design can happen fast and coincidentally, but more often than not, it’s the result of long and hard work with many fails. “But it’s always so inspiring to create,” he says. “It’s the most valuable time in my life.”

Working with two types of wood—walnut and apricot tree—his work is meant to last. Keepsakes past on from generation to generation. “I don’t necessarily think that we must only use natural materials in our lives, but I do think we should be quite careful about which materials we use and how our choices influence our life and the life of our surroundings,” says the Ukraine-based woodworker.

Stock a Few

You should have a few cutting boards for different foods like fruits and vegetables, raw meat, poultry, or fish, and cooked meats. It’s also good to have a few wooden boards and some synthetics that can be easily thrown in the dishwasher for cleaning.

Long-Lasting Wood

Wooden cutting boards are great for slicing roasted chicken, rack of lamb, skirt steaks, or charcuterie. Invest in a good one because if you take care of it, it can last a while.

Synthetics

For day-to-day tasks, use synthetic boards because they can be easily cleaned. When the boards have deep cuts, it’s time to replace them as you want to avoid bacteria from getting into the cuts.

What to Avoid

Stay clear of glass, marble, and stone as they will damage your knives. Also, avoid silicon because foods stick to it easily and it makes the board difficult to clean.
