Ah the joys of creating a wedding gift registry! Creating your wish list allows you to dream big and hope that friends and family will help you furnish your new home together.

Here are a few key kitchen appliances that would definitely make my wedding registry wish list:

Wusthof Classic Block Set, Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker, KitchenAid Artisan Series Stand Mixer, Sanyo Smokeless Indoor Grill, Kuhn Rikon Green Energy Pressure Cooker Set, KitchenAid Pro Line Series Food Processor

If you haven’t heard the latest buzz about pressure cookers, I hear you can dump frozen sausage, uncooked pasta, a can of sauce and a touch of wine in one and get a delicious pasta dish in under 15 minutes! I can’t wait to get one and try it out. I hear the cookbook that comes with this Kuhn Rikon set, titled Pressure Perfect by Lorna Sass, is full of fabulous recipes to try as well.
