The following are links to websites you might find interesting. They are a mixture of colleagues, manufacturers, food writers and many more. What they all have in common is a commitment to excellence in their fields.
Miele Appliances: Top notch appliances: especially in the realm of dishwashers, steamers and ovens.
Vent-a-hood: Hands down the best vent company I've found. I use their hood liners to create custom decorative hoods all the time.
Capital Range: Look out Wolf, Look out Viking--the competition is finally here. Capital is relatively new company formed by some long-time industry pros. They've got pretty much everyone beat in the cooktop and range department--yes, even those heavyweights mentioned above. And since they're not as well known, the prices are very competitive for a superior product.

Barbara Kingsolver's wonderful book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Read a review on my blog.
