Jody Adams - Immersed in Christmas Cheer

Baby, it’s cold outside. And what better way to warm yourself up than with a big bowl of steaming hot soup? Nothing, says Rialto’s Jody Adams, who’s put a KitchenAid Immersion Blender on her wish list this year so that she can create all manner of creamy and delicious pureed zuppas. This stick blender, which retails for under $100, makes whizzing up soups and sauces incredibly easy and takes more than half the clean-up out of the equation (let’s face it - no one likes to clean a blender). Make sure you get one for the blending enthusiast in your life so that when the weather outside turns frightful, dinner is still delightful.
