What the Chiffonade

A great tip for chopping leaf herbs and other foods like basil is to stack your leafs in a pile and role them up before chopping. This technique is know in fancy circles as a chiffonade, but is really just a simple stack, role, and chop anyone can do easily at home without any special tools. The result is fine curly strings that look like they came from a professional chef or restaurant. You can keep the strips in roles or fluff them up and sprinkle them about. Either way the chiffonade is a great way to improve your food presentation.

Granite In All It's Glory

Some folks out there would like you to think that marble and granite are trends and that they are without a doubt going to be replaced by man made materials, but thats just plain CRAZY! The beauty of natural materials is yet to be truly matched and a stone can set the tone for your kitchen making it an entirley unique space.
