Dot’s ninth day of giftmas: wooden spatulas and planting trees.
Dear Reader,
Dot’s friend Elizabeth, who’s also Bluedot’s Marketplace editor, knows her way around a kitchen. Indeed she has held jobs across the food industry, and knows all about hard-working (and alas, not-so-hard-working) kitchen utensils. So, when she gives her seal of approval to anything related to the kitchen, Dot pays attention. I am therefore delighted to share that Elizabeth loves these flat wooden kitchen spatulas from El Quatro (as someone — a failed poet, perhaps — ostensibly said, “anything a spoon can do, four flat sauté spatulas can do better.”).
The quartet comes in various wood finishes, each of which looks as much like a work of art as a tool. Pair them to use as salad tongs, or enlist them solo as scrapers, servers, stirrers, flippers, tasters. As an added bonus, the family-owned, Montana-based donates $1 to The Nature Conservancy with every order to support reforestation projects.
Elizabeth describes her relationship to these spatulas as a “secret love affair.” Well, the secret is out. And now you can partake in the love affair yourself, order them for beloved cooks on your list, or even have it both ways: Dot suggests keeping one or two for yourself and sliding the rest into some stockings. Everybody wins.
Flatly,
Dot
