Alessi @ Eataly

In my post yesterday about my visit to Eataly, the new Italian food and drink emporium in New York's Flatiron District, I forgot to say that I did buy something!

A wonderful Alessi cheese grater.

We bought it to replace another wonderful Alessi cheese grater that bit the dust in the dishwasher! (Troppo calore)

Leave it to Alessi to create such a cool, functional cheese grater. The round plastic cradle acts as storage for cheese during your meal.

And Il Nostro Inviato has to have grated parmiggiano at the ready at all times!

I highly recommend the grater either for yourself or as a gift. But be careful when you wash it!
