Microplane® Classic Zester

Bonnie: After completing one of my media-relations seminars in Vermont in the late-90s, my friend Jane Kirby picked me up from the Inn at Essex for a visit to her farm in nearby Charlotte. Our friendship dates back to the ‘80s when I was the food editor of the New Haven Register, she was the food editor of Glamour and we both were (and still are) registered dietitians. As I got into her car, we began yakking and didn’t stop until she dropped me off at the airport the next day for my flight home.

Oxo Pop-Up Dish Rack

Bonnie: Hell for a baker? An oven that required re-tying the door with a rope each time you opened it. That was my kitchen during the writing of my 365 Great Cookies and Brownies cookbook. I knew I’d have to do something, but kept putting it off as I was planning a kitchen renovation. That planning moved to a higher priority at one of my soup parties—a great way, by the way, to entertain, as everything’s done before guests arrive. Slight aside, for those of you interested in this type party: just set out pots of soup (either on the stove or on hot plates at various stations around the [...]
