When Jill came back from photographing Alex and John's home in Vermont, she came back with a big recommendation for Lee Valley's stainless steel rasp grater. This really was designed as a wood rasp before a Lee Valley woodworker's wife began using it in her kitchen. The rest is history. It is super-effective in grating cheese, garlic and nuts as well as zesting fruit.
Alex showed me and this is an amazing grater. I used it and really liked it. It is very sharp and produces fine shavings. Alex uses it for garlic, cheese and lemon zest.
