A mandoline slicer is the best way to cut vegetables and fruits into thin, even slices. As a recipe developer, cookbook author, and avid home cook, I’ve used one for years. I reach for my mandoline anytime I want to make a shaved fennel salad, homemade coleslaw, or other dish that’s best with paper-thin slices of veggies. Consisting of a flat surface fitted with an adjustable blade, it helps me cut them quickly and consistently, no fancy knife skills required. I’d recommend a mandoline slicer to any cook (especially a vegetable lover!), with the caveat that you have to watch […]

If you celebrate Christmas, you know the countdown unofficially begins sometime during that stretch between Halloween and Thanksgiving. The pumpkins and gourds find their way off of the mantle and front porch and are slowly replaced with small Christmas trees and garlands dusted with fake snow.

Part of the fun that comes with counting down to Christmas is having an advent calendar to surprise you with treats every day of December leading up to the 25th. Just decide the kind of surprise you'd like to have—do you want chocolates? Tea? Gummy candies?—and make sure you have it in your hands before the first of December. Then, each day, open the slot with the corresponding number to find what the calendar has in store. (It's like a pre-Christmas gift warmup, if you ask us!) And as we inch closer to the holiday, it's time to choose the calendar for you.
