The Dark Side of the Kitchen
I have to admit, when I was loaned Anthony Bourdain’s book, Kitchen Confidential, I figured it would be somewhat entertaining, but wasn’t exactly super pumped to read it. It was loaned to me with a “you’re into cooking, you should read this” line by my father-in-law’s wife (step-mother-in-law?), and while we’re both into cooking and [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: Baby Your Feet
So if you were following The Foodie Forkful leading up to the holidays, you may remember that we recommended a gel floor mat as a gift ideas during our 45 Forkfuls of Christmas feature. Well, while at the International Home & Housewares Show we ran into a company, Wellness Mats, who makes them. They are [...]

IHHS 2010 Find: Firewire Flexible Skewers
This is another new product we found at the Home and Housewares Show this year. Now, there are certainly a lot of grilling products out there – it seems like if you sell any type of outdoor or cooking products you’re practically obligated to make grilling accessories. They also seem to be another one of [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: Bodum Travel French Press
So I admit, I’m a recent convert to coffee – for the longest time I’ve been a tea person, and while the smell of coffee was appealing, I just never got into drinking it. However, last summer I resolved to develop the taste for coffee, and to my surprise it took maybe 10 days before [...]
Pseudo-Vide?
We recently had the pleasure of reviewing the Sous Vide Supreme, and unfortunately for us after two weeks had to return it. Double unfortunately, our time with it ran out shortly before Valentine’s Day. We wanted to do something fun and special for our V-day dinner, and after all our testing we were kinda hooked [...]
Livin’ La Sous Vide-a Loca
Well we’ve had the Sous Vide Supreme machine for four days now, and have had it running every single night (and even one morning for breakfast!)… we don’t want to waste a moment in testing out all sorts of goodies in this baby! Here’s a little run-down of our exploits so far: Friday Night: Steaks [...]
Forkful #1: Twas the Night Before Christmas
This is it,the last day before Christmas. If you’re still wracking your brain for a last-minute gift, we’ve got your golden ticket: give the gift of dishpan-free hands. No, I don’t mean that you should gift wrap a bottle of Palmolive… instead, give them a gift certificate pledging to clean all the dirty dishes for [...]
Forkful #2: Rub-a-dub-dub
Not many shopping days left now! If you’re still searching for gifts, at this point it may be a good idea to start thinking about gifts you can make, rather than pick over what’s left in stores or worry about whether something will arrive in time with shipping. A simple yet delicious and useful gift [...]
Forkful #5: Reinventing the Wheel
We’re getting down to the wire for Christmas shopping, so here’s a simple yet super-useful one: a handheld pizza cutter. Until we got one of these, I had only ever seen the old-style pizza cutters with the wheel on one end and an angled handle. Usually the blade wheel wobbled all over the place, and [...]
