Chef's Essentials is the Livingetc series exploring your favorite chefs' go-to kitchen utensils and how they contribute to shaping their craft, so that you, too, can start collecting their treasured cookware — each piece uniting functionality and style — and hone your culinary art.
Sometimes all you crave is a masterfully risen and fired pizza slice: luscious tomato, stringy mozzarella, basil leaves, and a crust baked enough to feel crunchy on the outer end and fluffy on the inside. And British chef Tom Kemble certainly knows something about it. The mastermind behind London's buzzy new Spring Street Pizza in Borough — a beautifully designed pizzeria inspired by old-school NYC slice shops, brought to life by Marcel Breuer's Cesca chairs, speckled 'terrazzo' tables, spherical lighting, and a tinge of nostalgia — Kemble started his career running a student cafe while still in university in Nottingham.
