Mandoline for Slicing Thin

I love my Mandoline for getting even, consistent slices every time. It's great for scalloped potatoes. Here I'm using it to get super thin red onion slices which will sit atop my Prosciutto & Red Onion Pizza. The Mandoline pictured here is by Oxo and can be found here.

Garlic Peeler (The Squid)

I use fresh garlic almost every day. This great little tool, the silicon garlic peeler, magically peels garlic cloves in a jiffy! Just put the garlic cloves in the tube, press down with your hand a little and roll. This is a favorite tool of the chefs at Sur la Table Union Street, as well. Check it out.

Julienne Peeler

Yep, I am on the julienne band-wagon like everyone else. This handy julienne peeler allows me to quickly julienne carrots, cucumber, zucchini and watermelon radish for a fresh salad option -- without the need to drag out my Mandoline or Spiralizer. This one is by Kuhn Rikon and can be found at here.

Le Creuset Paella Pan

Friends, Sydney and Boris, came over for an evening of good food. Center stage was delicious paella cooked to perfection in the Le Creuset World Cuisine Paella Pan. Le Creuset's enameled cast iron cookware is just fantastic. You can't help but elevate your cooking using these fantastic tools. Find this one here.
