Shopping Tips!!!
For cutting the vegetables, I used this very handy cutting board with two side trays incorporated: one to collect cut food, the other to collect scraps.
For blending zucchini and onions to get a smooth cream, I used my very handy Braun MultiQuick 7 immersion blender.
Read my review for GialloZafferano on the immersion blender “Braun MQ9045 MultiQuick 9”.
