A single guy who just loves to cook, I really like to use herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of even fairly simple dishes. People think I am a trained gourmet cook simply because I know how enhance and bring out the flavor out of everyday food.

  • Favorite foods: Salads with nuts, fruits and herbs
    Fish, poultry and meat marinated and/or garnished
    Cheese and wine
    Indian and Thai curries

Recommended height for cutting surface?

Have you tried an Ulu chopping knife? They are superior to regular cutlery because the handle is directly over the blade so you get much more force without needing much exertion.

My gourmet friend purchased a BonVie 4-in1 Cutting and Serving Board from QVC, but when I went to get one they had sold out.

Recently a blogger directed me to Amazon where I found them listed. The BonVie is really classy with integrated Ulu and grater and 4 pursposes built into one at a much better price than other Ulu type producst such as Calphalon's Mezzaluna, which sells for around 50 bucks. The BonVie is really neat, a one of kind product that is stylish and functional.

Kitchen Gadgets to chop, dice and mince into small pieces.

I love to enhance the flavor of everyday dishes as well as the gourmet endeavors. I find that I need to chop fresh things into small pieices. Mincing, chopping and grating cheeses herbs, garlic, ginger and other things are ofen required. I heard BonVie has some sort of 4-in-1 gadget that does it all. Anyone found it? Bed Bath was supposed to carry it. QVC ran out.
