"chopping" news and stories

Every pastry chef worth her salt (or sugar) has a rectangular pastry scraper in their bag of tricks – here's why you should, too.

Many dessert recipes call for chopped chocolate, and there's a simple way to get evenly sized bits without using a chef's knife.

The season for berries is almost over, but here are a couple of tips on preparing them to be used.

Even though I think it's silly, I still love this banana slicer from Cereality, the popular quick-fix breakfast cereal chain. All you have to do is peel your banana and press the slicer through it, producing a full banana of neat slices, ready to be tossed into cereal or onto a bowl of oatmeal. Before you dismiss it, is it really that much different from an avocado slicer or egg slicer? This gadget is an easy way to save time in the mornings and add something delicious to your food while getting an extra serving of fruit.  It's only $7.99 and it's versatile, too! If breakfast isn't your thing, you can toss them into a frying pan with butter and brown sugar to make a dessert topping.
