For all of my culinary accomplishments, until this week, I did not own a mandolin. Having the time for pleasure cooking this week, I was hoping LeRoux, on Main St. in Vineyard Haven, would have one for me to purchase. I was very surprised to see such a wide variety from which to choose at the store. The prices ranged from $19.99 to $209.00. I opted for the Kuhn Rikon model at $27.99. In the last couple of days I've made scalloped potatoes and banana cream pie, both simplified by the use of the mandolin. The potatoes were just OK, the pie was simply awesome. It is my mission next year to make the best scalloped potatoes ever. The mandolin is certainly one of those gadgets one can live without, but more than useful, it's fun, and gives your creations a professional looking edge!
