Here I am at Sur la Table demo'ing the Vitamix. I made a Creamy Broccoli Curry Soup. The Vitamix, seriously, it's an awesome machine. I sauteed some leeks in butter, then added a little vegetable broth and broccoli florets until they softened. Toss that all into the Vitamix with a little cream, a dash of curry and salt, and blend, Baby, blend. The super cool thing about this machine is that it actually heats the soup at the right levels. Very cool.
My little herb garden wall project is coming along. Cilantro has begun to sprout in it's new little home -- a green mason jar mounted on a piece of distressed wood. So cute! Little life sprung! The green jars appear to not be available. You can find the clear ones here.
I love cooking with fresh herbs. As is typical with city living, we have no yard or even patio area for a garden. So I'm making an herb garden in my kitchen. It will be a wall piece. I've collected all of the elements for the garden, next will be to put them all together. My talented artist sister will be visiting soon and she has promised to help me finish the project. Stay tuned!
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.
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.
