In his campaign for accessible, delicious food, Mario Batali is one of the most popular chefs and restaurateurs in the world. Created by Copco and inspired by Batali, the Italian Kitchen line of cookware and tools reflects the famous chef's philosophy that great food needs no gimmicks. Durable, versatile, and high quality, the collection is perfect for the active home chef.

An ideal prep surface, this silicone work mat features handy conversion charts and two printed Batali recipes for pizza and pasta dough. Measuring 16 by 24 inches, the mat makes for a generous work area, and its material resists sticking. For easy cleanup, just wipe it down or put it in the dishwasher, and for storage roll it up or slide it in with the cookbooks. --Emily Bedard
