Bron-Coucke the maker of a crème de la crème French mandoline surmises that mandolines have been around since the 1500s. Their web site explains "The first illustrated culinary book was published in 1570 by Bartolomeo Scappi who was Pope Pius VI's cook. One of his book's illustrations shows a small board with a central cutting blade and other small perpendicular blades to cut vegetables into thin sticks." The body of Scappi's mandoline was most likely made out of wood as some old-style European versions are now made. Today some of the best choices include the inexpensive plastic Japanese mandoline made by Benriner; Matfer's version made of stainless steel with a black fiberglass frame; and Bron's model made completely of stainless steel with attached blades. All mandolines work on the same principle: The user slides the vegetable through different stainless-steel blades to produce a julienne French-fry cut straight slice waffle cut or ripple cut. Knobs or levers also adjust the thickness of each cut down to the most transparent paper-thin slice. Adapted from Williams-Sonoma TASTE Summer 2001 "Using a Mandoline" by Sarah Deseran.
