santokuknivesDoes your mom like to cook?  Consider herself as something of a chef?  Well, it’s said that a good kitchen must come equipped with a good knife or two.  And any chef knows that means a chef’s knife, at the very least.  A chef’s knife is something of a multi-purpose knife, and the Japanese version of it is called are called santoku knives.  These knives are good for chopping, mincing and slicing large quantities of vegetables or meat.  And the 7 inch blade on this knife is perfect for mom’s smaller hands.

KitchenAid Hand Mixer 9-Speed

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

No kitchen is complete without a mixer.  And having a small hand mixer is an excellent addition.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t have enough counter space to keep the big stand mixer on it, so hauling that puppy out just to whip out some cream is torture.  The perfect solution is having a hand mixer for those smaller jobs.  But don’t be fooled.  This KitchenAid hand mixer has a motor powerful enough to handle bigger jobs like a pro too.  However, you are going to have to leave mixing your bread dough to a more powerful stand mixer.

If you mom spends any amount of time in the kitchen and doesn’t keep a big stand mixer out on the counter, consider a hand mixer.  She will love this gift!
