The city's best food stuff

NUTS 'N' HONEY
Conjuring a walk in the woods on a fall day, miel de châtaignier—Provençal chestnut blossom honey—boasts an earthy complexity and gently bitter finish that’s perfectly suited to pecorino cheese or gorgonzola. 500 grams $13.75. Honey World, St. Lawrence Market, 93 Front St. E., 416-214-0101.



EASY ON THE EYES
Who wants to cry over the cutting board? These new kitchen goggles guard against onions’ irritating sulphuric compounds, and unlike your old ski or swimming goggles, they won’t make you a laughing stock. $24.95. Academy of Culinary Arts, 1703 Bayview Ave., 416-486-1859.



ANGEL DUST
Chef Mario Batali first smuggled fennel pollen into the U.S. a few years ago; now the essence-of-licorice aromatic is available to law-abiding cooks as well. A pinch makes magic of shellfish or tomato soup. $24.99. Scheffler’s Delicatessen & Cheese, St. Lawrence Market, 93 Front St. E., 416-364-2806.
