I was gifted with a Spiralizer this Christmas. It was actually part of a Yankee Swap, and one of the other players was quick to drop it in my lap and make a grab for the two bottles of wine that I was attempting to block from view.
Now I had never heard of a Spiralizer, and truthfully, the jury is still out on its usefulness, but I’ve started fooling around with it, and it’s actually showing some promise. It’s a compact device with three or four blades, depending on the model, that turns vegetables into spiral strands similar to noodles. Turning a zucchini into zoodles! These vegetables can be dressed with various sauces, cutting out the carb factor. I just read a recipe for sweet potato mac and cheese.
This thing must be pretty cutting edge. The current Williams-Sonoma catalog has devoted a page to it, and there are cookbooks and blogs and apps touting the health benefits of getting “inspiralized”! Who knew?
Stay tuned.
I recently saw this, too, and as I read your blog I was trying to remember where I saw it. Yes, the William Sonoma catalog that came in the mail! Intriguing…will be interested to get your take as you experiment!
Seems like an ideal yankee swap for an adventurous blogging foodie! Happy New Year! Jo Ann
