ZOMG best pasta ever Jim is working tonight. He's working most nights until 1 in the morning now, which means the boys and I are pretty much on our own for dinner. In the two weeks I've been nighttime-single-parenting it, we've been eating basic, comfort-foody type things most of the time...

NEED: 1 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped. 2 cloves garlic chopped finely 100 grams fresh Parmesan grated with Microplane Grater !/2 cup toasted pine nuts Zest of 1 lemon DO: Mix all together and use as a garnish for just about anything!

Not all kitchens need high tech food processors. In many cases a few microplane graters and/or a small chopper will suffice. If you walk into a kitchen store, however, you’ll notice that there are a lot of styles available. I do not advise going for the down-n-dirty cheap grater.

This is a fabulous find! The Microplane box grater has sharp stainless steel teeth that features a sliding safety holder to secure food and protect those fingers. Now you can grade every last bit of cheese without fear of slicing those fingers.

We nearly always have oranges at home. To me, it's no different than having lemons, limes, garlic and onions. They're all essential. The only difference is that I can eat an orange by itself without having to do anything to it. More often than not, though, the oranges end up in something I'm cooking.

Bunions, Onions and the PedEgg January 29, 2008 Leave it to the smart folks at the eGullet Society to come up with a food-related use for a foot care product. The PedEgg is designed to remove dead skin and callouses from the bottom of feet.

The Microplane zester is one gadget you REALLY truly need. From grating fine little strands of citrus zest, to making great piles of fluffy parmesan cheese (or perfect little gratings of delicious chocolate) - this gadget is a necessity in any cook's kitchen.

As I prepare my Christmas shopping list, I’ve been trying to remember what gifts stand out from last year’s haul as particularly useful or memorable. The fact that I have a bit of trouble remembering no doubt speaks to the over-commercialisation of the holiday.
