Cooking with luxury equipment, it does not make the difference for the final product but it helps to make everything more enjoyable! This is the case here of the 3-Cup Food Chopper and their Canadian Professional Copper Clad Cookware Set. The preparation is ultra-fast with the food chopper and nothing stick in the copper pans. My jaw is dropping! Here I present a different version of the classic bruschetta by adding white beer caramelized fennel in addition to the tomatoes. It’s fresh, easy to prepare and above all extremely delicious! #paderno #itsacookingthing #ad
