Four cozy things the Chatelaine Kitchen loves this month

Four ways to enjoy every bite

Style up your kitchen

These adorable linen tea towels aren't just pretty, they're also cheap, cheerful—and a limited edition collector's item. Created for the Bay's designer series, they  feature the artwork of top Canadian style makers like Tommy Smythe.

Tea towel, $15, The Bay.

Blitz your food

Say hello to what may be the most powerful hand blender ever. This lightweight, high-torque, one-button gadget will be your go-to tool for making everything from smoothies to creamy soups (no cream required).

Cuisinart Smart Stick Powertrio Blender, $90, The Bay.

Try this new yummy spread

We're calling it: Speculoos is the new It sweet spread. Tasting just like the traditional spice cookie from the Netherlands and Belgium, this unique product is now making inroads into Canada. Think of it as spreadable brown sugar gingerbread cookies. In other words, the most delicious idea ever!

Lotus Speculoos Spread, $8, Twinpack.

Steal inspiration from a delicious book

Cozy up with chef Magnus Nilsson's beautiful new book Fäviken and dream about life at his superb 12-seat field-to-farmhouse restaurant in an agricultural hamlet north of Stockholm. Using pure ingredients and precise but doable techniques, his techniques, his cooking will definitely inspire many a longing sigh. Our favourite-sounding recipes: vegetables cooked with autumn leaves and scallops cooked over burning juniper branches.

Fäviken, Magnus Nilsson, $50.
