A man’s best friend (in the kitchen)

It’s a well-known fact that the cook’s most important tool is a good knife or a set of knives. I’d long gone by with Fiskars knives when I finally last year decided it was time for an upgrade – so I made a thorough review analysis on what would be the best knife, selected a few to compare and settled on a collection that I found was the best fit for my hand of the chosen brands: the Zwilling 5 star collection.

Ever since I got these babies, I’ve been in kitchen heaven when slicin’ and dicin’. (Oh yeah, and talking about babies, we’re getting one. More on that here )

Anyone looking for a big improvement for your workflow in the kitchen, check out Zwilling. They’re so worth every penny they cost.

As an added bonus, here’s a nice and surprisingly delicious & deceptively simple non-alcoholic drink recipe for what I hope will be a long and hot summer.

Lemon Slush

• One part ice
• One part lemon syrup

Instructions are very complicated: mix the ingredients in a mixer until blended thick and smooth. Enjoy.

If you’re wondering about the lemon syrup part, here’s how to make that: combine 2 parts water and 1 part sugar in a pan or pot and bring to boil for a minute. Let cool & mix in one part lemon juice. Refrigerate.
