Entry #2150, March 28, 2013

As you may remember I was fortunate enough to be part of Brizo faucet’s – ‘Blogger 19’ in February 2012 to attend the Jason Wu fashion show and Brizo Blogger event. Well this year we have a Blogger 19 reunion planned and you will be able to follow along for all the fun, so stay close. Recently, Brizo has teamed up with Bon Appetit for a wonderful collaboration. Read on and grab this exclusive recipe from Chef Jamie Bissonnette!

“As you probably know by now, Brizo is highly invested in paving the way for new and unique technologies and designs in the kitchen. Well recently, we decided to take our commitment to the next level by teaming up with Bon Appetit to capture a different perspective on culinary innovation.

Through this relationship, we were able to meet and get to know east coast chef and former Chopped contestant (and winner!) Jamie Bissonnette. Jamie, a food genius, is the chef behind Boston-based restaurants Toro and Coppa. He also happens to think about his cooking the same way the Brizo industrial design team thinks about faucets. It’s an unlikely and entertaining comparison, and I’d like to invite you all to check out a video Jamie recently filmed with Brizo lead industrial designer Seth Fritz – who most of you probably remember from Fashion Week.”.. courtesy of Brizo
