Favorite Things: Frosted acrylic spoons by Sabre

By Maureen Abood On September 26, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Favorite Things
We’re smack in the middle of a color explosion up north. Green green grass, burning bushes and apples, orange pumpkins that make your head pop off they’re so vibrant piled up out in the field on the farm. And I hate to say it—really, I cannot abide anyone to speak of the end of seasons [...]

Favorite Things: The Tomato Knife

By Maureen Abood On September 3, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Favorite Things, Vegetables
Unlike little pitchers or vintage flatware, the tomato knife is not just a favorite thing. It’s a necessary thing. I get bedazzled by all of the kitchen tools available that can make cooking easier and even more fun than it already is, but as with anything else, there are “nice-to-haves” and “must-haves” in the kitchen. [...]

Favorite Things: little pitchers

By Maureen Abood On August 27, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Favorite Things
You don’t have too look far in my mother’s homes to find little collections of things here and there. On Wagon Wheel Lane, she had a pretty line-up of miniature metal teapots on the window sill. On the piano, tiny Limoges and other sorts of porcelain boxes with hinged lids, some of them with a [...]

Favorite Things: Weck Jars

By Maureen Abood On August 20, 2012 · 7 Comments · In Favorite Things
I first saw these things of great beauty and elegance at the Heath ceramics stand in the Ferry Market building in San Franscisco. There is no denying that exceptional style, especially when it comes to food, often originates in Northern California. I love jars of all kinds, but Weck are quite possibly the most beautiful [...]

Favorite Things: Canal House

By Maureen Abood On August 7, 2012 · 4 Comments · In Favorite Things
When I first started reading Saveur when it was launched years ago, I was, like everyone else, attracted to the incredibly homey, rich stories and food photography on every page. The editorial approach made me feel as though my writing, and my Lebanese culinary perspective, might be welcome there. I read the magazine with religious [...]

Favorite Things: A candy thermometer

By Maureen Abood On July 16, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Favorite Things
This past weekend thermometers both failed me and came through for me. My instant-read thermometer met its maker in a melt-down accident when the poor guy was left in a gorgeous cut of tenderloin on the grill—with the grill lid down. Couldn’t stand the heat. But the tenderloin still came out great, even if we [...]

Favorite Things: Stand Mixers. What color is yours?

By Maureen Abood On June 25, 2012 · 9 Comments · In Favorite Things
As with anything, it’s the physical that is always the first sign of attraction. There must be some kind of color chart that indicates the meaning behind the color you choose for your stand mixer. Or maybe I should write that chart if none exists. My mother’s original stand mixer is a white Sunbeam, purchased [...]

Favorite Things: Stainless Skewers

By Maureen Abood On June 11, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Favorite Things
Grilling days never really end in my world. Like some of you, I will brave the cold well into the deep chill of winter to get my grilled meats. But dashing in and out in the cold temps is a far cry from where we are, thankfully, now–leisurely standing around the grill in the sun [...]

Favorite Things: Kitchen Shears

By Maureen Abood On May 21, 2012 · 4 Comments · In Favorite Things
I am the type of person who will pull hard on a plastic clothing tag to try unsuccessfully to remove it, until I’m forced to walk across the room to a pair of scissors, which snips off the tag cleanly and swiftly. I’m not sure what this says about me, but I tend to keep [...]

Another Favorite Thing: Vinturi Wine Aerater

By Maureen Abood On May 16, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Drinks, Favorite Things
The more I learn about wine, the more I see why I have always had such an affinity for it—at least since my college years, when we drank bad, cheap red wine late at night at Club 23 in South Bend and thought it was the bomb. Wine needs space and room to breathe so [...]
