Mouli-légumes & Mouli-julienne

Mouli is a French manufacturer of small kitchen gadgets, originally manually operated but increasingly power-driven these days. A Mouli-legumes is a mill for making vegetable purees and is indispensable in any kitchen.

A Mouli-julienne is designed to shred, slice and grate vegetables, nuts and hard cheese. I have one at home that I bought 20 years ago, and I still use it to produce perfect grated carrots for that very French salad of grated carrots seasoned with olive oil and lemon juice. Regrettably, I have not seen this model in stores for some years so it may not be available any more - keep an eye out for one at garage sales.
