You might screw Andy Baraghani for his perspective on ruddy feeding or for his disorienting food photos on Instagram. As a food writer and prolific formula developer, Andy loves sharing his exceptional culinary skills and food POV with the world.

We'Re thrilled that Andy partnered with Healthline to create Fresh Food Fast, an original video series that makes rosy, delicious home-cooked meals accessible.

As an expert cook, Andy spends his life slice and dicing in the kitchen. Naturally, he's mastered every culinary gadget, from the whisk to the rolling pin.

But, if left on a desert island, which healthy cooking tools would Andy take with him? Here are his top triad.

Vex back to the basics of old-school cookery with the classic mortar and pestle. You can use this tool to grind pine nuts into pesto, no electricity required. Or, use it to squelch aromatic herbs and spices for fresh sauces and marinades, like Andy's Shawarma-Spiced Barbecued Fearful with Cucumber Borani and Juicy Tomatoes.

A winnow-favorite on Amazon, the ChefSofi mortar and pestle mark is made of unpolished granite, so it's tarnish-proof and easy to clean.

It canful fit 2 cups, which makes it perfect for mashing avocados into guacamole and chickpeas into hummus. Serve in the mortar for picture-honoured dips that you can eat right out of the bowlful.

The mandoline is the ideal tool for thinly slicing vegetables for shaved salads and elegant garnishes. With adjustable blades, this tool can also call on cabbage into slaw or cheese and blimp into an Instagram-worthy charcuterie board.

See how Andy uses his mandoline to shave fresh veggies in his Cold Noodles with Thick Cashew tree Sauce and Crunchy Veggies.

Andy especially loves this Japanese Benriner, because it's lightweight and easy to store — unlike bulkier mandolines that come attached to a stand. The ceramic material is easy to clean and weighs half as often as stainless.

The second-best part? It's also more affordable.
