To paraphrase Dean Martin – a good pizza is amore (love) and Emile Henry’s Flame pizza stone is the base for a good love story! In the 16th century, Maria Carolina, the queen of Naples decided that the peasant dish pizza was fit for royalty. Since then, Italian pizza has set the standard for pizza all over the world. No matter what type of pizza you prefer – traditional style with regional ingredients or trendy with surprising toppings, one requirement is essential for a satisfying pizza: a crispy well-baked crust.

I love oranges. Not only they’re good for us, they’re also soooo tasty; juicy and sweet, one of my all-time favorite fruit. They say everything has its downside, well with oranges it’s the peeling process. Sometimes the knife you use is too sharp, so you cut in too deep, or it could be that the peel itself is too thin, and you find yourself struggling with it…

I found this unique, stylish looking orange peeler shaped like an apostrophe. This beautiful item is something special – It has precision-cast steel with mat finish to improve the grip, giving the right balance when in use, while resting in an erect position when placed on a table. And the best part is – it cuts exactly right, not too deep and not too shallow – just perfect! Continue reading →

I believe we can all agree that there’s nothing like the smell of fresh toast in the morning – yummy! The smell of toast is such that most people I know cannot resist, myself included. Most of us have a toaster in their kitchen; it is a must-have item. Long time ago we had to watch our toaster and make sure the bread doesn’t burn, but thanks to modern technology we can now enjoy the benefit of a perfectly toasted bread, all hot and crispy, just as we like it. If you’re looking to buy a new toaster, you should check out this one from Alessi. Continue reading →

There’s nothing like a practical gift. Of course that when you’re a kid this is probably the last thing you’d want to get, but as a grown up adult, you realize that practical gifts mean just as much, if not more, than other gifts. When my friend bought me the Shell Compact Digital Scale, I knew she was a good friend. Why? Because she knew I needed something like that to cover up my poor cooking skills. I love people who can “cook with their eyes”, unfortunately, I most certainly can’t. My friend knew this and came for my rescue with this cool cooking tool. Continue reading →

I love cooking. Well, I’m not that good at it, but once I’m in the right mood – I love it. As I’m not the world’s greatest cook, to say the least, I tend to worry about technical issues all the time and as not all recipes specify every step of the way, shamefully I admit – I get stuck… Continue reading →

Here is another excellent kitchen tool manufactured by the clever designers at Chef’n – dedicated to making life easier in the kitchen. The GarlicZoom XL is definitely proof of this. Most people hate chopping garlic or using a garlic press but with the GarlicZoom XL, all you do is peel the garlic, place the cloves in the zoom, and roll it back and forth as the blades chop. The new large XL model offers many improvements on the previous version and is a pleasure to use. Continue reading →
