LCBO Food & Drink Spring 2017

SOUND ADVICE With the resurgent popularity of vinyl records there’s a new demand for high-quality analogue turntables. Our music consultant Ann Lough recommends the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC (from $599, dustcover included). This turntable sets new standards with its simple, beautiful design (available in seven high-gloss colours), an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge included ($139.00 value), a carbon fibre tonearm engineered to minimize resonance, and much, much more. For retail locations, visit project-audio.ca.

SMALL WONDER Single? Just the two of you? Ideal for a small chicken or roasting vegetables, All-Clad’s Small Roaster Combo ($325, rack included) is made of premium stainless-steel with stay-cool handles. Plus, it’s stovetop safe so you can use the pan for making gravy. Avail- able at Hudson’s Bay Company (select stores) and thebay.com.

DISH DUTY Can’t stand finding a soggy dish cloth on the kitchen counter? The Eva Solo Dish Cloth and Stand ($50) comes with two microfibre cloths, each with a shape-retaining foam core. After use, rest the cloth on the stainless-steel base, allowing it to stand and air dry. Available in white, sand and grey at Bergo Designs (Toronto, 416•861•1821, bergo.ca).

OIL SUPPLY For storing olive oil, copper is the gold standard—keeping out light to prevent spoilage. We love the look of this Copper Oil Cruet ($175 for 0.5L and $195 for 1L) that’s also lined with non-reactive tin to maintain freshness. An everyday essen- tial, it’s handcrafted in Italy and available at Bergo Designs (Toronto, 416•861•1821, bergo.ca).
