I have a combo lemon-lime juicer like this from Williams-Sonoma, and I love it. I also think my old-school reamer works really, really well.

Instant espresso powder is a MUST! I use it in almost all of my chocolate desserts now, and it really brings out the flavor of the chocolate. If it's good enough for Ina... :)

Also, I highly recommend you go to a store that carries multiple brands and lets you try them out. Everyone has a different hand, and your perfect knife will be impossible to find without playing a bit.

I love my Global 8-inch. Love. If it were a man, I would marry it.

Emma, did you know that there's a cookbook coming out soon, too? The deal was signed last week.

Also, check out this recipe from The Cookbook Chronicles for the cornflake-marshmallow-chocolate chip cookies.

OK, this towel creeps me out, because it reminds me of the giant eyes on the T.J. Eckleburg billboard in .

@39520expat: Yes, they're at an angle (due to gravity, not my positioning - the weight of the handles pulls them this way). Had them stored this way for about two years, with no slippage issues. The handles seem to hold them steady.

BTW, you can get the knives individually, for about $10 each, at the store, as opposed to together for $30 online.

Years ago, I bought a roasting rack, thinking I would use it all the time. I used it once.

Just the other day, I was trying to organize all my baking sheets, tart pans and madeleine pans, and realized that if I flipped the rack upside down, it was like a file accordion.

So, now, my roasting rack holds my baking sheets and tart pans, and i can get to everything really, really easily. Cha-ching!
