Cookware Advice
I want to get my sister cookware for Christmas, and I am looking for advice on what kind to get. I've been looking at All-Clad sets, but they are a bit more than I want to spend.
My roommate has a Calphalon pan that I love to cook on, but I think it is from the One line which is just as pricey as the All-Clad.
I've heard the Wolfgang Puck sets are decent, but was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations.
Our dad's a chef so we appreciate quality cooking products, and I'd like to get her something that will last a while.

About: I'm a country girl living in the big city. Growing up my dad was an executive chef for a summer seasonal resort company. Thus, I learned not only how to cook and wield a knife, but also how to appreciate the subtleties of spice and presentation.
Favorite foods: Bread (especially crusty sourdough and ciabatta) My dad's beef stroganoff (it's heavenly) Sage spaetzle Jerky I'm not picky though and love most foods ...
Last bite on earth: Milk and fresh under-baked chocolate chip cookies (made with semi-sweet chips and shortening instead of butter)
