All right I may as well admit it.I’m an absolute and out right gadget freak.More specifically a Kitchen gadget freak.Travelling does that some how.An incessent and obsessive need to browse through home and kitchen stores,walk down endless aisles of supermarkets,on the look out for some kitchen gadget or house ware that would make cooking a lot more interesting.That, I do not have any more shelf space is another story all together.Amongst the stuff that I’ve been amassing over the years are hordes of Bakeware, Cookware,Gizmos and various other kitchen memorabilia collected over numerous travels ,making the insides of my pantry resemble a well stocked Kitchen-ware store.No,I’m not complaining,just overjoyed at my stash.After all having the right equipment makes all the difference.
Well I had been keen on buying a Spiralizer for some time now, with every intention of making up some good gluten-free and low carb Zucchini Noodles. However I let the idea pass by until I spotted this Microplane Spiralizer in the kitchen section of El Cortes Inglais on a recent trip to Madrid.I had actually set out looking for a good Paella pan which turned out to be a good buy and decided to complete my mission by getting this gadget as well.
I made this up for lunch yesterday with the lone Zucchini that I had lying around in the refrigerator.It was quite exciting to see thin ribbons of Zucchini come twirling out of this simple and effective gadget.I made up a delicious and easy Zucchini Noodle or Zoodles, with an Asian twist by adding in some chill oil, a dash of soy,crushed peanuts and green onions.So if are a Pasta or Noodle lover like I’m, then this is just about the perfect guilt free lunch idea and a great healthy option too.You do however need to serve this as soon as it’s cooked as the Zucchini tends to get soggy quite easily.
I’m aleady thinking of Raddish,Carrots and perhaps even Beetroots to experiment with this new kitchen aid of mine.I’m quite thrilled at this buy and it’s a great new addition to my every increasing repertoire of quirky and fun tools in my kitchen.

Yes for me too…loved using this gadget;))
This sounds and looks delicious. You might want to correct a typo in the ingredient list. You are showing “child” flakes and I think you mean “Chile” flakes. It did make me smile though. I’m made some real typo bloopers on my blog, too. Best to just smile about them. 🙂
oops…blogger blooper..thanks for bringing this to my notice…will correct the typo…Nice to connect via our blogs:))
