Yes, San Antonio foodies can shop at the restaurant supply stores and Williams-Sonoma, but I have always coveted a kitchen store, like Kiss the Cook in Wimberley. And now, we have one! Sur La Table (@sur_la_table) opened at the Shops at La Cantera last Friday (located in the long, narrow section anchored by Barnes & Noble, just to the east of the original complex.) 
The store displays rack upon rack of steel shelving filled with stacks of kitchen, baking, and bar equipment. They stock everything from pots, pans, and utensils, to more unusual items like a molcajete (a Mexican stone mortar and pestle) and tagines. Bakers will enjoy their extensive baking section, including cookie cutters in any imaginable shape. If you’re looking for a specific utensil (a particular type of whisk, or an offset spatula, say), I’m sure they carry it. 
When I visited, the sounds of electric drills and hammers rang out as a construction crew worked to get the spacious cooking school ready to open next week. The school will offer both sit-down and hands-on classes. Currently on the schedule: “The Fearless Baker: A Three-Part Series for the Beginning Baker” and “Satisfying Fall Soups and Stews.” You can find a list of classes on their website. We’ll sign up for one soon.
If you love playing around in the kitchen as much as we do, I recommend a visit….and bring your wallet.
