Chef Gerrie's Notes
* Ruffoni Copper Cookware is the best conductor of heat. Besides, it’s museum beauty and presentation for your food; it is a a real workhorse in the kitchen. It last forever with a little amount of care. And can be passed down among family members. And you just feel so sexy when you cook with it!
* Breville’s Immersion Blender and Hand Mixer are a must have in your kitchen arsenal. Breville’s products just work and do the job efficiently.
* Cuisinart Food Processor is the best food processor there is. My mother and I bought the first one when it was featured in Neiman Marcus at The Galleria in Houston, Texas in the late 60’s. The strength of the motor, sharpness of the blades, and durable construction of the work bowl is like no other. A must have in the kitchen.
* Bechtle Egg Pasta is awesome…what else can I say for a German Traditional egg noodle. I just love the Spaetzle Farmer Style.
