Meaning "half-moon" in
Italian, Nigella Lawson's Mezzaluna is an efficient, easy and safe method of
chopping fresh herbs, garlic and onions. A mezzaluna does its work when you
rock the curved blade back and forth over the food, requiring only gentle pressure
on the handles to chop quickly and precisely. Nigella Lawson's Living Kitchen
comes beautifully packaged in her signature color coordinated gift boxes.
"I don't think I could operate
without a mezzaluna - that two handed curved blade of a knife - so-called because
it means 'half moon' in Italian. Most people erroneously believe that you need
to be pro-standard dexterous to use such a lethal-looking implement, but the
opposite is the case: because both hands are off the chopping surface, gripping
the handles, it is actually impossible for even the terminally clumsy to cut
themselves. This mezzaluna matches form for function: it has an almost classically
beautiful shape, and because it is made entirely out of stainless steel, can
go in the dishwasher." Nigella Lawson
