  • My new ceramic grater

    I’ve seen these ceramic graters being sold at every market and festival in Germany for the past year, and yesterday I finally got one. It mushified a clove of garlic nicely, though getting it out again took some finessing. Rodd worked it out – you have to hold the grater on an angle and use…
