Patrick Jouin and chef Alain Ducasse designed this pot for Alessi to cook<br />
pasta like risotto. Simply add pasta and water, and the pasta cooks by<br />
absorbing the liquid. No more pre-boiling or straining. Alessi pasta pot,<br />

Your daily fix just got better<br />
This little gadget makes some of the best espresso style<br />
coffee I have tasted. It is easy to use (very similar to the<br />
workings of a French press), easy to clean, and takes up<br />
virtually no counter space. The total brewing time of only<br />
30 seconds reduces acidity in the grounds and results in an<br />
exceptionally smooth robust taste. Pack this little gizmo<br />
when you travel or head to the cottage and you’ll never taste<br />
a bad cup of coffee again. AeroPress Coffee System $39.95<br />

Food tunes<br />
This colourful rubber-cased radio is splash-proof, iPodcompatible,<br />
portable, and produces high-fidelity sound! It<br />
has a built-in kitchen timer (or an alarm clock) and can be<br />
hung up to save valuable space in the kitchen. With a wide<br />
range of colours to suit any kitchen décor this is a sure fire<br />
way to let music inspire while you cook. SongBook, $200,<br />

Kitchen innovation<br />
Say goodbye to cluttered countertops and hello to the Sharp Insight Pro<br />

small spaces, a grand home theatre or the foodie who just has to have the<br />
latest and greatest. Available in 24inch and 30inch Sharp Insight Pro<br />
Microwave Drawer $999.95<br />
