Nutcracker by Eva Denmark

This looks and acts like a mortar and pestle, but is luxuriously modern in design. It’s a nutcracker. And it’s a great way to vent some steam. You simply smash the nut in the bowl, and the rubber bottom will absorb the shock.

Have a friend with anger management issues? Try this as a gift ;)

Herb Cutter

This herb cutter, from MoMA, is beautiful - and carries a heavy price tag of $120.

Designed by Jesper Ranum, made in Denmark, this herb cutter takes the concept of the mezzaluna (a curved chopping blade) and makes it into a new trendy item.

Black Walnut Cracker

Peppino Pepper Mill

The Peppino Pepper Mill is a sophisticated cartoon fellow that will add a smile to your table. The design is out of Italy from Alessi designer Stefano Pirovano.

The pepper mill is made from polypropylene - simply turn the body, and you have pepper.

Comes in blue, green or red. I would love the blue version, myself. […]

Manual Juicer

This manual juicer is one of the highest rated juicers out there - and it’s a great value at only $89 on Amazon. It’s a 5-star review product on Amazon.

“Z-Star Manual Juicer” (Tribest)

The Z-Star juicer is really light and works, of course, by your own hand power. The juicer is marketed for wheatgrass juicing, but […]
