His name is all the rage in cookbooks and cooking shows, such as Iron Chef America and Molto Mario. The food world hails him as a demi-god, with his cooking prowess and culinary inventions. His Italian, English, and French lineage is also a strong influence in his cooking.

Mario Batali is already a legend in the food world, and when this culinary master comes up with his own line of kitchen products, everybody can be rest assured that these products are just as good as his cooking.

Cooking Companions

Boasting of warm, earth colors such as green and orange, Mario Batali’s line of kitchen products are made of enameled cast iron. The pots and pans are heavy yet versatile, and courtside reporter Patricia Hizon even deems these as “heirloom pieces,”, meaning it could be passed on from generation to generation of families who love to cook and eat.

The line includes the Mario Batali 12-inch deep skillet, 2 cup Italian essentials, Mario Batali panini grill, 7.5 quart cioppino and stew pot, 4 quart risotto pan and saucier, utensil crocks, oil drizzlers, pizza wheels, grilling stones, prep bowls and utensils, wooden tools, and silicone pot grips.

Passport to the Food World

Alongside the promotion of Mario Batali’s new line comes Gourdo’s passport.  “With our Gourdo’s Passport Program, our customers will discover and experience new things from Gourdo’s. This is our way of saying “Thank You” for their support over the last eight years,” announces Susan San Miguel, Gourdo’s Assistant General Manager for Merchandising.

Gourdo’s Passport is not a discount card; but rather, it accumulates points which can later be used to redeem Gourdo’s products. The passport comes with a total of 25 gift vouchers, which gives users the privilege to have free gift wrapping, 20 percent discount on certain brands, and free gelato, among others.
