My children LOVE the play kitchen - right now I have my dd's old PB Kids Retro Play Kitchen and the food is the Lakeshore Plastic Food which looks really realistic. I also have the Ikea metal pots & pans, silver looking flatware. I just took the glass ikea play plates and bowls away because 2 of my 2 year olds cannot handle glass items. Right now they are in love with it but it will switch to sometimes be a market, or be removed all together.

That said, at some point I might invest is a beautiful wooden Waldorf style play kitchen and make all the food but I don't want to invest in that until I see exactly how my program and families are and what they come to expect.
