Display of Affection
The famous magician David Copperfield said, “The most important thing is presentation.” While he may not have been referring to food when he said it, food lovers know there is magic in sharing a great meal.
The MICHAEL ARAM White Orchid Serveware Collection has an abundant array of trays, bowls and serving sets to help create gorgeous tablescapes. Pieces from the collection coordinate beautifully, and the hammered white nickel orchid design will brighten table settings any time of year.

Some recipes require very precise or thin cuts when prepping vegetables, making the CUISINART Mandoline Slicer an indispensable part of the home cook’s toolkit.
It slices potatoes for chips or waffle fries, tomatoes and onions for burgers, eggplant for your eggplant parmegiano, and squash for ratatouille. With four blades and precision thickness adjusters, the mandoline is easily one of the hardest working and versatile gadgets you can have in your kitchen.

Food lovers are always on the lookout for enhanced flavors and new taste combinations, making how you store and handle your spices very important. Storing whole spices helps preserve their natural oils and flavor compounds, whenever possible it’s best to grind fresh spices for your recipes.
Grinding spices by hand can be time consuming, but the ART & COOK Electric Coffee & Spice Grinder makes quick work of peppercorns, nutmeg, cumin, coriander, dried chiles and fennel Seeds. In addition to spices and coffee, the grinder can also be used to grind nuts into nut flour for your baking.

It’s always great to have multitaskers in the kitchen. The Addlestone 10.5“ Pre-Seasoned Oval 2 Piece Serveware Set with Burned Furwood Base does double duty as a baking dish and a serving dish. Use it to serve family style side dishes like roasted brussels sprouts and cornbread, or to bake up indivudual servings of Pastelón (Puerto Rican Plantain Lasagna).

Every great diva demands a stage, and so does every great tart, pavlova and layer cake! The QUALIA GLASS Sylvan Cake Stand and Dome is a stylish centerpiece for any tablescape. The mouth blown glass dome gives a clear view to whatever beautiful creation waits within, and the hand etched floral motif adds a touch of elegance. We suggest presenting a Victoria Sponge, a delicious cake named after Queen Victoria herself!

Charcuterie boards have long been a go-to make-ahead option for entertaining large groups, but also work well as a no-fuss dinner for two with a good bottle of wine. The PICNIC AT ASCOT Sherborne Large Bamboo Cheese Board Set with 4 Tools and 2 Bowls is a must-have for its versatility and unique features, it has removable ceramic bowls, and a magnetic tool holder attached to the board.
In addition to presenting cheeses and meats, the large bamboo board can also be used to make a butter board, a frosting board, a cream cheese and salmon board...the instagrammable possibilities are endless!
