Christmas Gifts for Cooks with Microplane Kitchen Tools Giveaway #HolidayGifts2014
Kitchen tools are beloved by any foodie on your list! It’s rare that we find a company which provides the high quality tools at a reasonable price like Microplane does. The company developed in 1994 when a Canadian housewife commandeers one of her husband’s favorite woodworking tools and discovers it effortlessly produces the lightest, most wonderful orange zest she could have ever imagined.
It’s 1994, her Armenian Orange cake is a huge success and her husband’s Microplane® rasp has morphed into a must-have kitchen grater. It seemed as if a star was born overnight, but it didn’t happen quite that fast, in fact, it took over thirty years.
We are very pleased to be sharing some of our top picks from the Microplane line with you all today. These are definitely at the top of our culinary wish lists!

Although I am into sharing big time, I am not too sure whether this is one of those times! lol….. Right now, I am waiting to begin a new position, in a remote area of Ontario. I am staying with my son and daughter-in-law, which as newlyweds I know is a little stressful. I love to cook and am doing most of it, just to “do my share”……I will certainly share the Microplane products with my “housemates”…..the question is whether I will leave any of them here, or take them all with me!!!!!
