Griottines (Morello Cherries in Liqueur)
French company Griottines uses a proprietary blend of brandy and kirsch—a clear liqueur distilled from whole cherries—to make these intensely flavored yet balanced cocktail cherries. They have a wonderful warm flavor and almond-like aroma that complements and rounds out the tartness of the fruit; cherries and almonds actually come from the same botanical family, and the cherry pits used to make kirsch impart a complex almond flavor that adds depth to Griottines. Unlike other cocktail cherries that taste only of sugar, these cherries retain a vibrant fruitiness—no doubt in part because the company macerates its cherries within six hours of when they are hand-picked off the branch. And because the cherries are sorted and selected by hand, you can be sure of a high-quality product, with whole, intact fruits that are perfect for garnishing your favorite cocktail or dessert.
de Buyer Copper Eggwhites bowl
This stunning bowl from French company de Buyer is as beautiful as it is functional, made of 100% solid copper. This style of half-round mixing bowl is the classic tool used by bakers to whip egg whites into stiff peaks to incorporate into desserts and beyond, as the shape adds extra air the the mixture and the copper keeps the peaks glossy and supple through its ability to promote a certain type of bond between the egg proteins. A side handle adds stability, while the open-rolled edge makes for easy cleaning.
