I initially seeked the finest in copper cookware and happened upon Hestan but I am a sucker for anything titanium and decided to go with this Nano-Bond set. These titanium pots and pans look gorgeous and it's a pleasure to use them. Some of the scorching that occurs when doing a heavy sautee is easily removed with the included cleaner (thank goodness because I would hate to mar such a fine finish so easily).

I am a single dad in my mid-40s and I love to cook but haven't had much time and energy in recent years. As my 5-year old's taste buds advance, I look forward to preparing some "adult" meals for us. I primarily like to make Greek dishes (with which I am very familiar) and then venture into Thai/Indian-inspired recipes of my own design (meat, veggies, curry).
