Not every job needs a big board. A lemon for the drinks, a shallot for the dressing or a handful of parsley is perfectly happy on a board that fits next to the hob without taking over the whole worktop.
This small board from Zwilling is made of solid, oiled bamboo. One side has a juice groove to catch whatever runs off; the other is smooth and works just as well for a piece of cheese at the table. Bamboo is actually a grass rather than a wood, and it gives a hard-wearing surface that's still kind to your knives.
Dimensions 25 x 18.5 x 2 cm, weight 0.6 kg. Wash by hand, dry thoroughly and give the board a little cooking oil now and then. Also available in two larger sizes.
