Photo: For those who love adventurous combinations, the Twin cocktail spoon allows you to serve two different little bites at the same time. Formed from a central handle with a bowl on either end, the cocktail spoon has little depressions that allow oils and sauces to accumulate. Suggested retail price: $14.99 for six. Beautiful and versatile. You could also use them to serve two sauces or a sauce and a condiment alongside a main course or dessert. See the catalog at www.trudeau.ca.
