Pantry Magic

Browsing through Pantry Magic is a little like being a child let loose in Toys ‘R’ Us, especially if you’re a fan of Alessi and Williams-Sonoma. The bright space, along Club Street, is lined with white shelves stuffed with just about every kitchen gadget and tool you need to chop, peel, stir and slice your way to domestic nirvana. While some of the stock may be pedestrian (kitchen linen, scales, nutmeg graters and ramekins among them), many items will have you wondering how you ever managed to survive without them. These novel necessities include a rubber-based mixing bowl (for easy one-handed mixing), the pliers-like hard-boiled-egg-slicer, a pizza stone, truffle shaver, and even a special chopping board just for sausages.
