Just in time for your spring home refresh, chef, host, and cookbook author Eric Adjepong just dropped a stunning kitchen collab with Crate & Barrel. The collection, which comes with 60 pieces of cookware, glassware, serveware and home decor items, is a cool combination of Adjepong’s Ghanaian roots and the flavor of his hometown, New York City.

Host of Alex vs. America and Wildcard Kitchen on Food Network, Eric Adjepong has an impressive resume which includes working in several Michelin-starred restaurants, becoming a finalist on Season 16 of Top Chef, and a contestant on Top Chef All-Stars. Adjepong says he couldn’t ask for a better partner than Crate & Barrel to help bring the pieces he designed to life.

“The expertise Crate & Barrel brings to the table is unmatched, so I couldn’t imagine a better partner to seamlessly bring the sky-high vision for my first kitchen collection to life,” Adjepong said in a statement. “The food, clothing and jewelry that influenced this collection bring important parts of my past to people’s kitchens and living rooms to make cooking and entertaining pieces as functional art.”

Check out some of our favorite pieces from Adjepong’s collection. Everything is available online now.
