The holidays are approaching, which means the wine will be flowing while you entertain friends and family for dinner, or just host drop-in evenings. For some of us, storage of surplus wine can be an issue, so why not do things a little different this year?

This beautiful wine rack is easy to assemble (no tools required!) and can hold 36 bottles (so you won't ever run out of your favorite wines in the middle of entertaining!) Just keep this rack fully stocked, and you will always be ready for guests, whether it's a planned occasion, or a last minute knock at the door...this rack also makes a fantastic gift for any wine lover in your life.

Well-made sauces and gravies are often what make the difference between an average meal and a fantastic memorable one, and now with this 'Lost in the Sauce' cookbook by Zachary Mitchell, you can be the king or queen of sauce-preparation in your own home!

Making the family (and your own) favorite sauces isn't as easy as it looks, and if you haven't cracked the code yet, your only option is to purchase them pre-made from the grocery store. And no matter how fancy it looks from the outside, canned sauces are not as good as home-made, and they can be over-priced. So with Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays just around the corner, and so many sauces to make, now would be the perfect time to order your copy, and get started on a path to become an expert sauce chef! Another benefit to mastering the art of sauce-making is that you can pass on what you have learned from this cookbook to your children, and they will in turn do the same. Bon Apetit!

With cooler weather upon us, it's time to talk about comfort food, and nothing can beat a generous helping of creamy mashed potatoes! Potatoes are high in nutritional value and low in fat (not to mention low cost as well) which make them the ideal side dish to almost every main course.

Preparing a proper bowl of mashed potatoes can be time consuming, not to mention hard on the arms, but this Chef Potato Ricer makes it a snap. How about mashing in garlic and fresh herbs (parsley and basil work well) with butter, or sour cream and chives? Tasty!

For an original side, mash in some carrots, or steamed kale - they will add fantastic flavour, as well extra vitamins and minerals. If you have children moving out on their own this this potato ricer will make a smart and useful addition to their new kitchen. Plus it also encourages healthy eating habits!
