I\u2019m of the opinion that most dishes are made better by a touch of heat. I often opt for chili crisp or hot sauce, but when it comes to meals where I don\u2019t necessarily want the flavor of fermented soybean, Sichuan pepper, or vinegar, I\u2019ve been leaning on Fiera\u2019s garlic chili oil. It\u2019s excellent drizzled over pasta, boxed mac and cheese, grain bowls, or soups, just flavorful enough to amp up a dish without leaving the taste of garlic in my mouth for hours on end after I\u2019ve finished my meal. I also love that it comes in a cute little bottle (I never understood why most chili oils, which you\u2019ll use only a drizzle of at a time, come in such giant quantities!) and is available in both mild and hot varieties. \u2014Alaina Chou, commerce writer<\/em><\/p>\n Alaina Chou<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Victorinox<\/p>\n Swiss Classic 4.5″ Serrated Round Tip Paring Knife<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now that my daughter is two, I spend an excessive amount of time cutting up food into bite-sized pieces throughout the day. Cheese quesadillas are sliced into inch-long planks, crusts are trimmed off sandwiches to stave off a potential meltdown, and even grapes are halved. The knife I use for all of these chopping endeavors is my Victorinox Swiss Classic Utility Knife. The blade is 4\u00bd inches long and serrated, so it’s the perfect size for the tiny foods I’m prepping. The knife is lightweight and comes in fun colors like lime green, hot pink, and bright yellow, making it easy to spot in the sea of utensils in my makeshift junk drawer. I’ve become so accustomed to having it in my hand that I often forgo dirtying up a cutting board and dice up food right onto my daughter\u2019s plate. \u2014June Kim, executive editor<\/em><\/p>\n Realm<\/p>\n Fresh Poplin Air & Fabric Spray<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As someone who cooks dinner at home almost nightly, one of my most consistent daily gripes is that my apartment kitchen doesn\u2019t have an exhaust fan. That means that anytime I want to cook anything fragrant or smoky, especially if it\u2019s on the stove, I\u2019m plugging in the air purifier next to the stove and getting ready to open a window or wave a towel to stop the smoke detector. Lately, I\u2019ve been loving spritzing Realm\u2019s fresh poplin air and fabric spray in my kitchen after dinnertime. The clean, floral scent releases in a fine mist and is subtle enough that it doesn\u2019t give me a headache. Plus, it\u2019s formulated with natural ingredients, so I worry less about spraying this in the place where I cook and eat. The true marker of success? It manages to neutralize odor enough that my bedroom doesn\u2019t have to take on the secondhand smell of salmon the next morning. \u2014Kate Kassin, editorial operations manager<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been sipping a lot of forest water in the office lately. Part of me wishes that I meant that literally, but sadly, there\u2019s no grove of trees and babbling brook near our office building. The Forest Water I am talking about is a botanically infused soda, and it\u2019s a superb alternative. The alpine flavor has fresh juniper and elderberry notes that are great as is, but would pair nicely with gin. The meadow flavor contains a medley of florals and birch that tastes like a more nuanced Sprite. Some people on staff weren\u2019t as crazy about them\u2014I think mostly because they are definitely different than typical soda. But anybody who enjoys complex botanical flavor profiles will appreciate these. \u2014Wilder Davies, commerce writer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"fiera](\"https:\/\/assets.bonappetit.com\/photos\/69a0b85203d4edd4e05811de\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/IMG_6671.jpg\"\/)
