Well, that was another successful giveaway. Thanks to all of you who took the time to enter. I loved reading all the comments and learning what tools you all use and value in your own kitchens.
In my kitchen, one of my favorite tools is a little wooden cutting board from Ikea. Less than a foot long, it’s often inconveniently small and yet it’s still the one I reach for first. The wood has aged into silky, well-used patina and it’s just the right size for bread, cheese and fruit. When it finally breaks (there’s a crack on the back that will someday kill this board), I will be sad.
Enough pre-emptive mourning for my cutting board. Our winner is commenter #496. That’s Embee. Here’s what she said:
Thanks Embee, I’ll be in touch to hook you up with your prize.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I can’t wait to try it!
CONGRATULATIONS!! We hope you enjoy your new petty knife!!
I wanted to post to say that I received it and it is beautiful, sharp, and a pleasure to handle. Thanks! 🙂
