The Must Haves

by  Chef Ouattara on January 30, 2010
CN-essentials
  1. Bubbly – Gourmet Chocolate Champagne Truffles
    What a great way to bring two loves together – chocolate and champagne. Choclatique’s Chocolate Champagne Truffles are a dream come true with a ganache made from Dom Perignon that is enclosed in Private Reserve Dark Chocolate. In addition each piece is finished with a kiss of 24-karat gold. These come 30 to a box and make the perfect addition to a romantic date or dinner party with friends. Be aware as they can be addictive. Purchase price is $60. www.choclatique.com.

  2. Tsuki Teapot
    Tea time just got kicked up a notch thanks to the Tsuki Teapot from Rishi Tea. Inspired by Master Tokoname artist Yamadera-san, the teapot itself is made of natural clay and ash glaze and is functional with all teas. The stainless- steel mesh screen covers the inside wall of the teapot, filtering out small tea leaves and remaining herb particles, while the spout makes for easing pouring. This tea pot just took your tea drinking life to a new level of sexiness. Purchase price $20.00. www.rishi-tea.com.
  3. Herb Pot Trio
    Love gardening but don’t have the space? Would you prefer to grow your own herbs at home and know exactly where they came from? This herb pot trio from Sagaform is the answer to all your worries. You can plant three different varieties of herbs and this trio also makes for easy planting of seeds and watering is a breeze. Purchase price is $50.00. www.sagaform.com.
  4. Festiva Cutting Board
    Are you a cheese connoisseur and find yourself entertaining regularly? Your guests are sure to be impressed once you introduce the Festiva Cutting Board with a Drawer. The cutting board has a compartment for four stainless steel tools which are included. The compact design makes it easy to store as well as travel. Also makes a really unique gift for the fellow cheese lover or foodie. Purchase price $41.25. www.puremodern.com.
  5. Caviar Staccato Water Filter Set
    Sometimes you come across something that just totally changes the way you feel about a certain thing. Well, it happened to me when I came across this limited-edition water filter system. The Caviar Staccato Water Filter Set is pricey, but I just could not let this pass by without at least introducing it to readers. This one of a kind system is designed to reproduce the basic filtration process of the natural water cycle. The multilayer system has been proven to remove chemicals and organic pollutants from drinking water. Holds up to 11 liters of water, and guaranteed to be a conversation piece at your next party. Purchase price is $896.50. www.puremodern.com.
