Doing the mortar and pestle grind

I swear I heard gasps of envy when Julia Child receives her mortar and pestle in the movie Julie and Julia. The theater was full of jealous and hungry foodies. Nothing grabbed their envy gland more than that big stone mortar and pestle. It just screamed spicy goodness.

You may not be able to get Julia’s mortar but you can find some other useful varieties. Le Creuset will help you channel your inner French chef.

This Thai granite mortar and pestle
features a polished inner surface and pestle to avoid absorbing flavors.
