"If you also follow the In the Test Kitchen blog, with musings from the foodies on staff in the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) you probably read Jennifer Sweenie&amp;#039;s post on the Top Ten Food Trends of 2011. If you&amp;#039;re chomping at the bit to transition from cupcakes to pies and showcase other new trends in your kitchen, here&amp;#039;s the best equipment to help you get started.   Pie making really is easy as pie with our Best-Tested Pie Making Tools which includes our picks for top dough blenders, rolling pins, and pie pans. Valentine&amp;#039;s Day is right around the corner not to mention George Washington&amp;#039;s Birthday, both perfect occasions to celebrate with a cherry pie.  Sweet potatoes are the new, well, potato. No need to get fancy, just mash &amp;#039;em up with the Cuisipro Stainless Steel Potato Masher ($21) for quick and fluffy results.  Comfort food is back and no wonder, it makes you feel good! Lasagna, mac &amp;#039;n cheese, and other casseroles are even more warming when they&amp;#039;re brought to the table in good looking bake and serve dishes. You don&amp;#039;t have to spend a lot on a good looking casserole dish. My faves are from Emile Henry, LeCreuset, and Corningware.   It seems that even people without celiac disease are jumping on the gluten free bandwagon. While you might want to check with your doctor about whether or not this is a good idea for you, if you or someone you love has a valid reason to eat baked goods made without gluten check out Paul Hope&amp;#039;s post on Bready. It&amp;#039;s an automatic bread machine that uses special mixes to bake homemade gluten free bread that&amp;#039;s a whole lot better than most of what&amp;#039;s available in supermarkets. So, scoff at the cold and get into the kitchen and start cooking up a storm. Stay tuned, as the year progresses, Jennifer and I will be sure to let you know if any important food trends emerge and what tools you&amp;#039;ll need to try &amp;#039;em.
