Espresso Accessories
(04 January 2007) - Who got an espresso machine for Christmas? I did—an Ascaso Dream if you must know. It doesn't work on its own though, so I'm currently kitting it out with a few choice accessories to get the whole barista thing just right. Aprons not included. For CH's hands-on reviews of coffee makers, see Coffee Classics and Coffee Innovations. Dualit Espresso Cups Made from stainless steel...

The Reindeer Follow-Up
(15 December 2006) - Remember The Reindeer Pop-Up Christmas Restaurant in London's Brick Lane that we wrote about a few weeks back?

Wooden Food Toys
(05 December 2006) - I never outgrew my childhood obsession with toy food. Somehow everyday edibles become magical when rendered in delicately painted wood and—unlike the real stuff, not to mention most other toys—these wooden objects are made to last for generations. German toymakers Haba and Erzi offer the most extensive collections of wooden kitchen play toys. From great basic sets like the gift basket by Haba which...

The flavor is one of several...

Minale Maeda: Table Manners Collection
(22 November 2006) - Minale Maeda's "Table Manners Collection" is a clever exploration of the intersection of formal dining and fast food.

Other works by Mario Minale and Kuniko Maeda, the duo behind this Rotterdam-based design studio, include t-shirts printed with a tablecloth pattern—for those of us who would rather...

Pinkberry
(31 October 2006) - If you haven’t heard about the wonders of Pinkberry, it's neither a new fragrance nor a nasty skin condition but rather a frozen yogurt phenomena that's already taken over LA and recently opened their first NYC location in Koreatown.

(27 October 2006) - The flowing ghost shape may be the most emblematic of Halloween. (Does it get any simpler than a sheet with holes?)

The Reindeer
(09 October 2006) - It's probably a bit too soon to be looking forward to Christmas, but it has been just too long since I got excited about going to Santa's grotto. That's effectively what The Reindeer is - a kind of grotto for grown-ups from the people behind East London's Bistrotheque. From the start of December until the day before Christmas Eve, the pop-up restaurant and theatre...

Cacolac
(25 September 2006) - I love chocolate milk, and French brand Cacolac is king. Out of the brown bottles or vibrant cans, the drink is the perfect blend of sweet milk and real cocoa. Bizarrely, even though it's been around for quite a while, many French people I've spoken to have never even heard of it. Perhaps because it's quite hard to find in Paris, but it seems...
