Carla Lalli Music is a chef, author, and video show host who lives and breathes to cook. Her Youtube videos are vibrant and full of character. It’s important to her to have items in the house that are chic while also being functional.

“If it’s too precious for a water stain, a scratch, or a chip, I can’t have it in my house,” she says.

If you’re interested in some of her recipes, her new cookbook That Sounds So Good is full of recipes for real life and she also features several on her here on her website. Her love for functionality and feel of the kitchen got her to pair with West Elm to provide you with some of her top picks for kitchenware. She also selected beautiful pieces fit for daily dinners or celebrations. You can shop some here.
