My new Foodie tools

The MTW January Contest expired, proclaimingtwo winners!

I will soon review their web pages as a prize for guessing right some of my new foodie tools.

So nowit’s time to revealwhat foodie presents did I find under my Christmas tree… Curious?

As I told you before, I think that recieving perfumed soaps, woollen socks, pad covers or make-up stuff as a gift is nice, but I am not really that type.

I’m a foodie inside, so friends knowing me well do know how tolight a twinkle in my eyesand enrich my cooking gear!

It’s not so difficult, after all, sinceI like food, designandcreativity.

Last yearI gotdelicacies, wine bottles and special treats.This timefriends and relatives decided to boost my cooking passion and wrapped for meamusing and helpful design pieces. I will think of them every day, by handling these objects while preparing and serving my food creations.

Cool idea, isn’t it?

Herethe shots ofmy favourite new fashionable tools!

Heart shaped silicone egg mold(byTiger):

So girly and helpful! I tried it straight next day for a champion breakfast with by boyfriend. Gives the egg a perfect heart shape, doesn’t stick at all and is really easy to wash.

Heat-resistant pot pad(byTiger)

I have never enough when I’m cooking… since avoids burning or scratching my countertop. I think I am even going to use as a funny and definitelyhotcentrepiece for my posse dinners!

French designed coffee cups(byLes Artistes Paris)

Elegant white ceramic and tactile textured silicone, for a sophisticated coffee time with my guests! The ritual becomes an fully involving experience, bracing for nose and taste, pleasing to the touch.

Personalized shot glasses(byAtelier Lune)

Decorated by local craftsmen and carved with our names at the Bolzano Christmas Market, these glasses are the ideal shots for a South Tyrolean Grappa tasting. We will use very soon…

Variation on the theme…Handcrafted fork ring(byLamù Jwl)

I know it’s not really for cooking. But it will become my stylish way to bring with me and show the world my passion for taste and pans every day!

Thank youSam, Erika, Andrea, DoroteaandTommasofor these fitting and inspired giftsI really cherish!

A hint for next year…I am going to have gourmet experiences gift certificates on my wishlist :-)
