Alessi Nuovo Milano Cutlery

From Wikipedia: “Ettore Sottsass (Innsbruck, Austria 14 September 1917 – Milan, Italy 31 December 2007) was a 20th century Italian architect, noted for also designing furniture, jewellery, glass, lighting, home and office wares, as well as numerous buildings and interiors — often defined by bold colours.”

Why am I telling you this? Because the Alessi Nuovo Milano Cutlery pictured above was designed by Ettore Sottsass. This cutlery has history and class. So make sure you have your story and trivia about Ettore ready when you lay this flatware out on the table.

This 24 piece set is made of dishwasher safe 18/10 stainless steel. It has a simplified elegance that many other have since copied. Each place setting includes a fork, knife, tablespoon and teaspoon.

Spoon Molds/Moulds for Edible Spoons

Two things: Firstly this is a reader idea, thanks Pam! And secondly, the spelling of mold versus mould:

Mould is the British spelling, American English has no mould, and British English has no mold. Australian and Canadian English favor the British spelling, though mold is fairly common in Canadian publications.

OK, all that covered, let’s talk about edible spoons. In this day and age of environmental awareness when it comes to plastic cutlery having edible cutlery just makes sense.

The Seetop Spoon Shape Molds are perfect for making your own edible spoons. Fun with flatware when making food! Made of FDA Standard Food Grade Silicone that is PBA free they are perfect for melting chocolate, baking cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, cupcakes and our favorite is using mash potatoes to make ketchup dipping spoons!
