Question from petercsantoro@yahoo.com
Just wondering what type of cutting boards do you recommend? I found a bamboo cutting board (from co. called Leeds) and am wondering if this is safe to use. Is bamboo treated with anything? Does it need to be organic? Also, are bamboo utensils okay or do you prefer another material? Thanks!

My cutting board is maple, I think. I’m not aware of anything toxic on a bamboo cutting board. It probably has some type of finish, but that would vary with the manufacturer. Ask them what it is finished with.
I’ve never seen wood labeled as organic.
I have lots of wooden utensils of all types of wood. Bamboo is fine as far as I am concened. It has been used in Asia for centuries.
