A few years ago I did a post on how to make edible spoons and bowls from dough. I thought it was a great idea, but just not with my method and recipe. I searched online to see if anyone else had done something similar and stumbled across a small handful of ideas, but then found this little gem… Roy, the inventor of the Edible Spoon Making Kit has indeed thought of a really simple and clever way to make edible spoons. Roy kindly sent me a kit to try (and will be giving one lucky reader a free kit!). Since receiving the kit, I’ve made well over 100 spoons (maybe 200 by now) and have enjoyed sitting around a spread of dips and toppings munching away on the spoons. To make the spoons, simply roll flat a piece of bread, punch out the spoon shape, press the cutout into the spoon and bake (more detailed instructions supplied with the kit).
While I was making a batch of spoons and some home made pasta, a time saving idea popped into my head. Watch the video below to see how I used a pasta machine to make dozens of spoons in a few minutes!
Topping suggestions: Cob-style guacamole: Avocado, corn kernels, red pepper, purple cabbage, extra virgin olive oil, salt and lemon Grilled Thai Mushroom Salsa. Place a small leafy green on the spoon first to prevent the spoon going soggy if not eating immediately.
