Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.

This week, the Kitchn loves spatulas. Here are some of their favorites, depending on what job you need done.

Also on the Kitchn:

• Straccetti con Rucola e Funghi: Our very own Maggie Hoffman helps you escape to Rome, minus the airfare, with this quick Italian stir-fry dish with "little rags" of beef (or veal), arugula, and wild mushrooms.
• How To Make Thai Mango with Coconut Sticky Rice: You find yourself ordering it whenever you're out for Thai food, but it's actually real easy to whip up that warm, sweet, and slightly salty rice dessert at home.
• How To Host a Canning Party: What better way to gather a bunch of pals, celebrate the season's harvest, and have spreadable preserves all year long?
• Why is Goat Cheese Always White?: You're dying to know. Goat milk lacks beta carotene, that deeply pigmented agent which lends rich golden tones in most cheese, particularly those made with cow milk.
