The winter arrived late in Central Italy - but it's here now with over 3 feet of snow in the foothills of the Apennines! Quick flight because it was -12 and the battery drained quickly!

A few of our favorite kitchen tools used day in & out at our cooking school in Italy! A fun and festive video filmed on Facebook LIVE (sorry for the lower quality) with Chef Jason Bartner breaking down 10 fantastic gift ideas for the kitchen - from luxe to stocking stuffers! All the links for each item can be found on our blog: http://ift.tt/2CzGF15 1. Falk Copper Cookware - This is true craftsman ship! Beautiful handmade copper cookware - start your collection with either a sauté, sauce or fry pan! These pots & pans are Jason's favorite kitchen tools! They are worth the investment, don't be fooled by fake knock-offs. 2. Cutting Board with a Lip/Edge - Stop the slippage with a lip! 3. Chinois - A classic fine mesh strainer. 4. Parchment Paper - I know, weird to be on a Christmas list but it makes a great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift for anyone who cooks because it's so versatile! (I think Jason should invest in parchment stock!) From lining a baking sheet to using it as - a lid or piping bag...it's indispensable in the kitchen! Buy it by the roll, not individual sheets! 5. Food Mill - from tomatoes to potatoes, keep one in your pantry. 6. Bialetti Moka & Milk Frother - It's a classic and makes most Italy lovers gift lists. We use ours every day, many many times a day! Bialetti is our moka of choice and this simple hand pumper/frother works like a charm. And here's (one of my first videos) on how to use it and make a proper Italian caffe! 7. Lexan - Take tupperware to the professional level. 8. Big Pasta/Stock Pot - You can never boil pasta in too much water! This is when you hit up a restaurant supply store and buy the biggest pot your stove can handle. Nothing fancy needed it's just to boil water - and a lot of it! 9. Cookbooks - On every kitchen/cooking/food lovers christmas list are cookbooks! Our recommendation is simple: The Silver Spoon - get both in English & Italian, Il Cucchiaio d'Argento they are different. And a personal favorite is The Food of Spain, when the kitchen is closed for the winter we happily eat our way through this cookbook! 10. Cheese Grater - Ok this is the wild card item. This is an Italian military issued cheese grater, made for the battle field! We found this antique item in our farmhouse when we moved in (for years we didn't know what it was!)

I love borlotti beans (aka speckled or cranberry beans). It's just too bad these beauties turn grey when you cook them! We freeze the fresh beans to use all winter - no need to dry'em! http://ift.tt/2w6K1HM
