Kitchen Chic
For those who like to entertain, here’s an apron with real style. Whether cooking from scratch or just serving takeout, this sexy apron is just right for bringing out your inner Martha. Designer Carolyn West of Carolyn’s Kitchen loves the feminine sexy styles of the 1940’s and you will too. Prices range from $44 to $48 each.
Going Green
Corks in wine bottles may be on their way out, but cork is still a great eco-friendly material to be used in the kitchen. Cork doesn’t absorb moisture or liquid the way wood does and it’s naturally antibacterial and easier to clean. Check out the Corkwood Cutting Board. Environmentally friendly, light weight, easy to clean, safe and handsome to boot. What more could you ask for? Suggested retail price $19.99 for a small board and $29.99 for a large board.

This sleek utensil both cuts and spears food. It can be used on a variety of foods pizza and pastas, vegetables, fruits and desserts, meats and fish, even steak! A platform fits your finger perfectly and a sharp edge lets you cut without needing a knife. Prices from $2 for the plasticware, $22 for a stainless steel 4-pack and $85 for a 20 piece set.
