Muji Spice Book
By dorotix, May 20th 2009 in Travel Gadgets Comments (4)
I love trying various restaurants and cuisines while on my vacations. From time to time, though, I feel like cooking and eating homemade food. What I always miss in my holiday-cooking are the spices. While exploring the local market or grocery I generally forget about buying salt, pepper or chili which are such basic and necessary elements of my meals.
Travelling with jars full of spices does not sound like a good idea either. The tricky seasoning problem has been solved by Nick Bampton, the designer, who came up with a solution of book filed with flavored sheets of paper. All you have to do is to tear up the embedded paper and add it to your food while cooking. The pepper or chili paper quickly dissolves and mix with food adding your favorite flavor to the meal.
Light and small Muji book is easy to pack which makes it a perfect solution for travelers enthusiastic about cooking.
Sounds like a very useful gadget - any idea where to buy this thing?
It's still a concept but hopefully it will eventually appear in Muji stores. Keep checking at muji.eu
good
Christina,Thanks for the shout-out on the book and blog. This is a great time to be a terlaver: airfares have dropped dramatically and hotel room rates too. I love Priceline as well—I just used it last week and scored an $82 rate at a swanky Hilton in New Mexico. Hotwire rocks too. Going to Ireland would be less if the airlines would get rid of the onerous fuel surcharges they put in when jet fuel was 2.5 times the price it is now.
