These hand-painted ceramic pasta bowls from Vietri’s flagship Campagna collection are a playful, heirloom-quality addition to any tabletop. Inspired by pastoral southern Italy, every unique piece features a whimsical hand-rendered animal motif. Choose between a horse, rooster, cow, pig, fish or bird, plus vibrant wildflowers or bright coastal algae native to the area. Serve pasta in Vietri’s Large Serving Bowl and dish it up in these mix-and-match, dishwasher-safe bowls. Terracotta, locally sourced from the Amalfi Coast, has been used for Italian ceramics for centuries: the first pieces were dried in the sun. Today, Vietri’s artisans make the Campagna line the same way ceramics have been made for 500 years, but instead of using the sun’s heat to set each piece, each one is fired in a kiln. Careful control of the kiln’s temperature influences each unique piece’s shape and glaze colors. The Campagna line’s cheeky name refers both to the line’s inspiration—“campagna” is Italian for “countryside”—and Vietri’s origins in Campania, a rural, coastal region of southern Italy.

Enjoy the best of both worlds with Graza’s “Drizzle & Sizzle” combo pack of extra-virgin olive oils. Grown and made in Jaen, Spain, the country where about half the world’s olive oil is produced, Graza uses 100% picual olives for both their blends of extra virgin olive oil. Use “Drizzle” for finishing, made from olives harvested by hand in October when they are still young, green and not fully ripe. The younger olives make an olive oil that is full of attitude, grassy and peppery, with a spicy zip that finishes a dish beautifully. “Sizzle” is for everyday cooking, made from picual olives harvested in December and January, when they are more mature and juicy. Once pressed, “Sizzle” is a bit more mellow and milder in flavor—though still with a grassy, peppery bite—perfect for roasting, searing, poaching, pan frying, baking and marinating. Both versions also come packaged in an easy to use squeeze bottle, so you can emulate exactly what chefs do in restaurants.

Kantha, the ancient embroidery tradition from India, can be traced back to the first or second century. The needlework gave new life to old cloth by upcycling and repurposing various fabrics. Traditionally, the technique was used to create quilts, encompassing layers of old cotton or silk cloth sewn together using a running stitch, or kantha stitch, of coarse thread. The J. Catma Kantha Apron now applies this unique approach to exclusively sourced, colorful vintage textiles resulting in these soft, thick, one-of-a-kind aprons. These authentic pieces come directly from artisans in India who curate and produce them in small batches. You won’t find these kitchen accessories anywhere else.
Made from a range of beautiful upcycled textiles, each apron is unique, coming directly from artisans in India who source the colorful vintage fabric and produce them in small batches.
Please note, these aprons are all handmade, no two will be alike. Choose the color way you like, however the exact pattern/patchwork will not exactly the same as shown in the pictures. We love the adjustable neck, as it helps ensure a comfortable fit. And these vibrant, durable aprons are unlikely to fade with use, as they’ve already been pre-washed to ensure their rich colors stay true.

This sopressata from Coro Foods gets its bright red hue and sweet, earthy heat from cayenne pepper. Many dried meat products can be overly salty, making it difficult to pick up on other flavors, but this sopressata is pleasantly spicy. Coro Foods sources American Humane-certified, antibiotic-free pork—its flavor shines through here, pairing beautifully with the cayenne’s chili flavor. The secret behind their salami? A long, slow aging, complete with a celery salt cure, hand-stuffing every salami and meticulously controlling the humidity and temperature in the curing room. We love that Coro pre-peels their casings—so you don’t have to—which means that you can slice the salami straight out of the vacuum-seal packaging.

Rarely have we seen a mango puree in supermarkets and, if we do, it’s often full of sweeteners and additives. Made from Alphonso mangoes, which are renowned in India for their natural sweetness and buttery-smooth texture, this puree contains no added sugar or preservatives—it’s just pure, juicy mango. About five fresh mangos are packed into every jar of this luscious puree and its silky texture is pourable, yet decadent like yogurt, and has a rich, bright flavor that balances sweet and tart, akin to snacking on refreshing mangoes at their peak season.

Juicy, flavorful and wonderfully textured Yakami Orchards Yuzu Marmalade is made with fresh, local yuzu from a collective of family farms in Japan’s Miyazaki prefecture. Balanced out with honey and sugar, this yuzu marmalade is bright, tart and warmly sweet with every bite. Just by opening a jar of Yakami Orchards’ product, you’ll be able to smell the bright and subtly floral aroma of yuzu. We love the plentiful chunks of yuzu rind, which are thinly sliced and add texture without making the marmalade clumpy. The yuzu pieces contribute a pop of piney bitterness that is a pleasant counterbalance for the overall sweet spread.

A favorite of our Food Editor, Matthew Card, this innovative peeler was developed with smart design elements after testing about 200 other different peelers. Don’t let its visual simplicity fool you—the Ever Peeler is a 2020 Good Design Award winner. The blade is made from 440A stainless steel, normally used for high quality knives, so it stays sharp with daily use and slices through produce with the utmost ease, unlike other flimsy brands. It makes quick work of even the toughest, hard-skinned foods like butternut squash, breaking it down into paper-thin shavings. Plus, it’s eco-friendly, too, featuring replaceable blade inserts that switch out easily. No need to throw away the whole peeler. Its handle also is ergonomically shaped and comes in different shapes for right handed and left handed users, making it comfortable to use no matter what.

This unique serving spoon-knife combo tool is a must-have for serving. Right at the table (or the picnic blanket or the potluck), you can use the serrated edge to cut out your perfect portion of food and then use the dipped bowl of the spoon to easily scoop it into your plate. The concave shape and wider width actually lifts up the food and holds it there—it won’t go tumbling back onto the platter like it would with a classic narrow, triangular server. The blade is sharp enough to cut through pizza crust and it’s ideal for slicing through gooey lasagna without lopping off that top layer of chewy cheese trying to slice and serve. Plus, it’s made from durable, dishwasher safe stainless steel with a satin finish, which is great for camouflaging scratches after frequent use. (And we promise you’ll be using this tool quite a bit.)
