From someone who cooks a lot on St. John, to make me happy, you need:
a big pot for cooking pasta
a strainer
a large (12", or the biggest your stove can handle) non-stick skillet, preferably heavy--with a lid
If you can, I would love the same skillet, but without the non-stick coating
a grater
a vegetable peeler
a good wine opener
a beer opener
a spatula
a pair of tongs
a long stemmed lighter for when the grill won't light
one more pot--about medium size, for heating sauces, etc.
Two flat baking sheets
some kind of knives--don't bother buying the expensive ones unless you are going to have someone sharpen them in bewteen guests. I bring my own, and I know other people do also. I also travel with ziplocs, so don't care about storage containers.
Also, I like an assortment of large bowls/plates, for serving food.
What you don't need, and what I see a ton of, is baking stuff! I've found mufin tins, cake pans, pizza pans, cake molds, etc. That's what Baked in the Sun is for.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Micro Cooker
I love my Pampered Chef micro cooker. Work great for steaming veggies, making pasta, browning hamburger, etc.. One of my better "party" buys.
