These clever cutting boards indicate that the typical home cook is no longer the perfect picture of femininity and the vast majority of passionate foodies are not in fact bare foot and pregnant. Culinary tools keep on morphing and evolving as more and more people from all walks of life roll up their sleeves and take to the kitchen. Not just for 50s housewives anymore, the kitchenware industry has become more experimental in its designs as it attempts to capture the imagination of a whole new crop of chefs.
From clever cutting boards that speak to gamers to boyfriend-shaped numbers perfect for a jilted ex, there is quite literally a cutting board on the market to suit you regardless of your age, tastes or interests. Creating pieces that scream personality, kitchenware manufacturers have encouraged cooks to convert their kitchen into their own personal haven, complete with tools that speak to them specifically.
These clever cutting boards are so alluring you might just try your hand at mincing just to have a reason to buy one.
