Knicks Cable Holder

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:44:55 -0400

Sometimes good things come in small sizes, case in point: this small little clip – made out of metal, with a matte acrylic holding device, that attaches to the edge of your table and extends out by about half an inch. At the end is a small little round opening, that allows you to easily pull a cable through it. When you don't need the cable – i.e. take you laptop with you, or your iPod, or anything that has a plug on a cable (the options are countless) - the plug gets 'stuck' in the opening, which prevents it from falling down. Which means, when you return, you dont have to get down on your knees and try to fiddle the plug behind your table, it falling down a million times and you getting aggravated...

Smart eh? Yeah we thought so too! It comes in two sizes, small is for thinner tables up to 1" (2,5 cm) in thickness and large is for a table up to 1.75" (4,5 cm) in thickness. So get ready to organize that cable chaos on your desk...

Bodum Chocolatiere Glass Hot Chocolate Maker/Frother

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:38:06 -0400

Considering peoples love affair with chocolate, BODUM designed a delightful chocolate jug with unique blender-like qualities. The BODUM design significantly differs from classic ceramic or porcelain chocolate jugs but is still reminiscent of grandma's milk jug in form and shape. Chocolate milk is growing popular with children and grown-ups alike. The cleverly devised manual blender of the Chocolatiere consists of a propeller attached to a spiral rod that smoothly mixes the chocolate or chocolate powder, producing a rich froth. This makes it a fun-to-use tool, ensuring the best mixed chocolate milk ¿ the sinful temptation par excellence! The handle and the jug are made of heat-resistant, see-through borosilicate glass. The lid is made of stainless steel and plastic with a silicone gasket for better tightness. All parts are dishwasher safe. The manual blender can be fully disassembled for better cleaning. Fine drinking chocolate is becoming more and more popular across the US. Now with the Chocolatiere now you can make drinking chocolate at home. Just cut up some fine chocolate and place it into the jug. Fill the jug with warm milk, set the lid in place and move the plunger up and down until you have a nice mixed chocolate and foam. For an even easier method, put cold milk into the microwave safe borosilicate glass jug and heat the milk in the microwave. Then just add the chocolate and froth. If you let the chocolate milk sit for a few minutes between servings it will naturally start to separate ¿ that's ok. Just plunge a few times to mix everything back up. The Chocolatiere has a 1.0 l, 34 oz. capacity.

4 Honey Flight for Cheese

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:46:04 -0400

new flight of single floral variety honeys selected for flavorful pairings with cheese.

Included in the four cheese-complementing varietal honey flight:

blueberry honey from Maine, whose sweet buttery finish pairs with drier, earthy blue cheeses, such as Stilton.
buckwheat honey from Washington State has a strong spicy, molasses-like sweetness that complements the tang of a fresh goat cheese.
sourwood honey, produced in North Carolina, is a very floral honey with a distinctive tartness that balances the strong flavors of bloomy rind cheeses like Camembert
sweet yellow clover from Colorado, whose delicate taste and warm undertones of cinnamon and honey mellow pungent or astringent flavors making it a match for washed rind cheese like Epoisses or Taleggio.
The four hand-corked 1 oz. vials are sealed in bees wax and packaged with a beautiful American Oak block, in a ribbon-enclosed gift box. A description of the flavors and origins is also enclosed with your gift.

Molecular Gastronomy Starter Kit

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:31:10 -0500

Try a brand new way to make dinner
Some say cooking is an art form - that recipes are merely guidelines to what makes food delicious. You've seen it on TV: a porcine chef sweating enthusiastically over a steaming pot of jambalaya, while tossing fistfulls of spices and shouting "Wham!" (or something more trademark-friendly). Chefs like that are good at what they do - they have a feel for cooking, but good food isn't art. It's science!

What makes food delicious? Is it taste-receptors in the tongue? Can it be that all that makes food delicious is the molecular switching between guanosine diphosphate and guanosine triphosphate bound states on a G protein? Clearly that's a load of crap. Everybody knows G proteins only relate bitter and sweet tastes. We still have salty, sour and umami to cover.

All told, the five recognized "basic" tastes - sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami - are chemical processes. Ions here, receptors there, when all balanced out create these wonderful flavors. Any chemist knows that absolute precision is required when working with chemicals. An extra mole here or there and what had been a delightfully exothermic bubbling beaker is a melted lump of glass and a trip to the eyewash station. Why shouldn't cooking be the same?

A new generation of chef-chemists have risen to take back the pinch, smidgen and fistful. They understand that an acidic fluid, when mixed with sodium alginate and dropped slowly into a bath of calcium chloride solution will create wonderful little spheres that pop in your mouth like caviar. Chill an agar infused liquid in a silicon tube and now you've got spaghetti. Mix soy lecithin in sauce and whip it into a light and delicious foam. All this science is available to your next culinary project with our Molecular Cuisine Starter Kit.

This fantastic tin box contains everything you need to get started in spherification, thickeners and foaming agents. Not only the chemicals - agar, sodium alginate, calcium chloride, carrageenan, ascorbic and citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate - but all the equipment too! A syringe, pipettes, silicon tubes, measuring spoons and a non-reactive spoon. Included in the kit is also a booklet featuring six spectacular recipes for some amazing new cuisine.

If you've ever wanted to give Molecular Cuisine a try, here's a perfect start. Once we whet your appetite, though, we can't be held responsible for weight gain, flavor overload, or an obsessive need to measure things down to the microgram.

Includes

20g sodium alginate
20g calcium salt
20g agar-agar
20g carrageenan
20g ascorbic acid
20g citric acid
20g sodium bicarbonate
20g xanthan gum
1 20mL syringe
2 m of alimentary grade silicone tube
2 graduated pipettes

Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York

Sat, 05 Jun 2010 09:38:02 -0400

New York is the greatest restaurant city the world has ever seen.

In Appetite City, the former New York Times restaurant critic William Grimes leads us on a grand historical tour of New York’s dining culture. Beginning with the era when simple chophouses and oyster bars dominated the culinary scene, he charts the city’s transformation into the world restaurant capital it is today. Appetite City takes us on a unique and delectable journey, from the days when oysters and turtle were the most popular ingredients in New York cuisine, through the era of the fifty-cent French and Italian table d’hôtes beloved of American “Bohemians,” to the birth of Times Square—where food and entertainment formed a partnership that has survived to this day.

Enhancing his tale with more than one hundred photographs, rare menus, menu cards, and other curios and illustrations (many never before seen), Grimes vividly describes the dining styles, dishes, and restaurants succeeding one another in an unfolding historical panorama: the deluxe ice cream parlors of the 1850s, the boisterous beef-and-beans joints along Newspaper Row in the 1890s, the assembly-line experiment of the Automat, the daring international restaurants of the 1939 World’s Fair, and the surging multicultural city of today. By encompassing renowned establishments such as Delmonico’s and Le Pavillon as well as the Bowery restaurants where a meal cost a penny, he reveals the ways in which the restaurant scene mirrored the larger forces shaping New York, giving us a deliciously original account of the history of America’s greatest city.

Rich with incident, anecdote, and unforgettable personalities, Appetite City offers the dedicated food lover or the casual diner an irresistible menu of the city’s most savory moments.

Nuance Wine Finer

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 11:37:49 -0500

The subtle taste nuance of a fine red wine only comes out when the wine is thoroughly oxidized. This is easily and elegantly taken care of by the Nuance Wine Finer. In just 30 seconds you can decant a whole bottle of red wine while pouring it into the glasses. The elegant pourer filters out all sediments, pieces of cork and tartar, while a rushing sound of bubbles gives evidence of the efficient oxidizing process. The drip catcher ensures that not a drop is spilled instead the wine runs back into the bottle. A small close-fitting lid keeps any leftover wine fresh for later use. A beautiful, simple and multifunctional pourer, that completely means you never have to apologize that the wine was not uncorked before the guests arrived.

The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the duc d'Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The term "macaron" has the same origin as that the word "macaroni" -- both mean "fine dough".

The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. Many towns throughout France have their own prized tale surrounding this delicacy.

In Nancy, the granddaughter of Catherine de Medici was supposedly saved from starvation by eating Macarons. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the macaron of chef Adam regaled Louis XIV and Marie-Therese at their wedding celebration in 1660.

What do you get when downtown trainers acquire uptown sensibilities? Svelte sneaks, like the ecofriendly pair from New Balance. The lightweight frame and recycled plastic uppers feel good and do good with every stride.
