Herb Chopping Tools

We were sent two lovely time saving gadgets from The Present Finder ; the Herb Cutting Set (RRP £19.99) and the Herb Cutting Scissors (RRP £9.99) both from Secret du Potager. Adding fresh herbs instead of dried to your latest culinary creation adds both depth and freshness but we all know it can be a hassle to actually chop the herbs, however these fantastic gadgets made it so quick and easy!

I've had a chance to use both of these great products, firstly for a french prawn dish and secondly for a cream herb dip (recipes coming soon).

The Herb Cutting Set firstly was a joy to unpack, it comes with one mezzaluna knife and a wooden cutting board as well as plant markets, a cooking suggestions booklet and seeds for growing basil, parsley and chives. The wooden board has a circular dip in the middle making the job of chopping herbs and salad leaves quick and effortless. The mezzaluna knife was easy to use and also rather fun - it makes you feel like more of a chef than a home cook!

Here's a video of me using it for the first time to chop mixed salad leaves for my Herb Dip- doesn't it make a satisfying noise? 

If you don't have the space for the full Herb Cutting Set, I can certainly recommend the Herb Cutting Scissors, which also come with some extra treats. With their 5 parallel cutting blade you can cut chives and other herbs quickly and evenly, without crushing them these scissors would be an ideal gift for any avid cook to help save time and frustration in the kitchen!
