Off to Market Recap: Slotted Spoon
I really want to try Bon Appétit's recipe for homemade ricotta. Although the recipe calls for three simple ingredients, it requires several cooking utensils. One of them is a good slotted spoon.
Alessi Anna G Cheese Grater: Love It or Hate It?
Italy's Alessi has a thing for anthropomorphic kitchen tools, such as this Anna G Cheese Grater ($97).
The brightly colored tool lets you shred your parmesan with the likes of a little girl in an orange dress. But is it too precious?
What Is This?
Can you guess what this wooden apparatus is?
Tyler Florence's 7 Kitchen Essentials
Yesterday, I dropped by a Macy's Culinary Council event to see Food Network star Tyler Florence. He was kicking off the tour for his two latest books, Stirring the Pot and Dinner at My Place.

However, I just saw this infomercial for Debbie Meyer's Kake Kut'rs ($16.90 for a set of two) and am actually pretty intrigued.

With the cold weather narrowing in on us, I can't help but crave comforting, slow cooked soups, stews, and sauces. In order to make the most delicious dishes, I've decided to invest in a new Dutch oven that will last the rest of my life. A Dutch oven is a large pot with a tight fitting lid.

With the forthcoming arrival of my favorite season of the year (summer) I'm getting ready to spend a lot of time over at my grandfather Al's house.
