Top Chef gear

After turning on Bravo last night, I was surprised to see that a repeat of Top Chef, was playing in the time slot that would ordinarily feature a new episode. I checked out the show's website to see if there was any news and, while I didn't find anything about air times other than a lot of banners reminding me that a "new episode airs every Wednesday at 10pm," I did notice a couple of newish features. They have added an Are You A Top Chef? feature to which you can submit photos and recipes of your own creations. Some, but not all, of the entries will be posted on the website. Bravo is also selling some Top Chef merchandise, which might be a good holiday gift for a Top Chef fan. They have a "I'm not your bitch, bitch!" t-shirt, immortalizing Dave's words to Tiffani last season, a Chop! apron, designed by Project Runway's Nick Verreos, who was a part of season 2 of that show, and an assortment of Top Chef-logo dish towels, aprons and oven mitts.

Take a look at the recaps from previous episodes to get caught up in the season. Hopefully we'll get to see a new episode next week:

Age appropriate ways kids can help in the kitchen

When kids are very young, they often want to emulate what their parents are doing. For example, if Mom and Dad are preparing dinner, Junior will want to be involved. Unfortunately, while cultivating an interest in food - especially homemade food, as opposed to fast food - is a wonderful thing for a child, they can occasionally get in the way of the chef.

An easy solution is to assign your child age-appropriate tasks that they can do with little to no supervision once they have been shown how to do it in the first place. Real Simple offers a helpful list of such tasks, sorted by age, so your kids can join in the cooking process. Here are a few of their suggestions:

5 and over

  • Retrieve ingredients from the pantry or refrigerator.
  • Wash vegetables and fruits.
  • Stir together dry ingredients.
  • Smash crackers into crumbs.
  • Set the table.
