Cake Taker/Keeper

Juliana | March 1, 2009

I never thought I would be using the cake taker of Tupperware this much. When Tupperware first came out with it probably four years ago (if my memory serves me right), I bought one to store bakery bought cakes. I did use it for a while, transferring the cakes I bought from their boxes into [...]

Chocolate Fountain

Juliana | December 20, 2008

I have been meaning to purchase a Chocolate Fountain, but I have not gotten the courage to do so yet. As you know, I have sweet tooth and I am aware this will really be perfect for me. My only hindrance is that if I get one, I can go out of control and keep [...]

That Wok

Juliana | August 30, 2008

Wok… Yes, you know what a wok is. If you love Chinese food, you must know more or less the food is cooked in a wok. Do I own a wok at home? I sure do. Do you?

Why I Love All-Clad

Juliana | April 3, 2008

Ever since I discovered the joy of cooking almost eight years ago, I have been constantly on the hunt for the best cooking tools and utensils I can use in the kitchen. As an amateur cook, which I am still by the way, I didn’t want to settle for anything less than I know I [...]

I Love These Tools

Juliana | March 26, 2008

There are two kitchen gadgets that I can’t live without. Prior to my discovery of these trusty tools, I used to struggle to do the things that they deliver very well.
This Microplane Zester works like a charm, I will never go back to using a regular grater to peel lemon, lime and oranges. It really [...]
