The Microplane grater
Until you use one, the Microplane grater may seem like an expensive bit of kitchen snobbery. But once you have tried them it is difficult to go back to that triangular grater thing that leaves you fishing the bits out with a knife when you've tried to zest a lime or grated cheese over your pasta. The fine Microplane grater is perfect for zesting fruit, or grating ginger, garlic and spices for these delicious curry recipes. The fine grater costs €39.95 including delivery from Kitchen Dresser, the Laois-based kitchenware online store at www.kitchendresser.ie.
