For the pasta lovers!
Usually when you cook the pasta and drain it, this removes the starch flavor. The unique design of this pot, by Alain Ducasse, enables you to cook the pasta in such a way that the pasta will absorb both the sauce and starch flavor, creating a deliciously unique flavor.

Instructions from the website:
"First you put the dry pasta in the “Pasta Pot”, sautéing lightly if you wish; then the various ingredients of whichever sauce you wish to make; then last comes water or broth, all at once or gradually, cooking everything together with the specially designed cover, stirring occasionally. in just a little more time than normally required to boil the pasta according to the classic method, your pasta with sauce is done and served directly at the table on the included trivet. a booklet containing a number of recipes developed by Ducasse himself is included."

Voila! Easy to make, but still gourmet flavor pasta.

LocalHarvest Stores - Organic Produce Delivered Right to Your Door

2 people recommended this item

Description

Kwanzaa decorations include fruits and vegetables laid out on a mkeka (straw mat or cloth.) Specifically, you're going to need one ear of corn for each child in the family. If there are no kids, you'll just be using the 2 ears of corn. The corn goes on either side of the mkeka. They'll flank the Kinara, which is the candleholder with 7 candles, one per Kwanzaa principle. (phew!)

The other fruits and vegetables go in the mazao (basket). Traditional inclusions are pumpkins, squash, bananas and sweet potatoes--and whatever else you like. Since these are seasonal, the LocalHarvest stores should have them available for home delivery, so that you can focus on the rest of your Kwanzaa decorations!

The Upside-down Tomato Garden

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

What a great idea for would-be gardeners with limited outdoor space. Nothing compares to a fresh tomato off the vine. I think I'd grow basil in the top bin. Then, all I'd have to do is harvest my buffalo milk to make my own mozzarella di bufala, and the perfect caprese salad would be at my fingertips.

TAKE OUT MENU ORGANIZER

First to recommend

11 people recommended this item

Description

I couldn't live without the culinary diversity of California. Where else can you find such a variety of restaurants and foods all within a 20 minute drive? Here is a great way to organize all of those take out menus you have accumulated. (If you are like me, currently they are all haphazardly thrown in a kitchen drawer.) A great gift for anyone you know that eats out a lot.

All Aboard Paper Towel Holder

First to recommend

Description

*Smacks Forehead* This is such a simple idea, why did no one else think of this!? tThis is a utensil jar and paper towel rack in one. The curved utensil bin acts as the tear off edge for the paper towel. A great counter space saver for the kitchen.
