Imagine that the two drawings below are called Kiki and Bouba in some alien language. If you had to guess which one was Kiki and which one was Bouba - without any other information, which one would be Kiki, and which one would be Bouba?
If you are like most people, the sharp angular shape (on the left) would be named Kiki while the curvier rounded shape (on the right) would be named Bouba.
This effect is called the Bouba/Kiki effect which highlights how we map sounds to visual shapes and was first observed by Wolfgang Kohler in the late 1920s and then refined in the early 2000s by Vilayanure Ramachandran and Edward Hubbard. In experiments, over 95% of respondents selected the curvy shape as Bouba and the jagged one as Kiki. The effect shows that words that have softer, rounded sounds (i.e., oo's and ah's) are associated with rounder shapes, while sounds that have more angular, sharp sounds (i.e., k's and I's) are associated with more pointed shapes.
While this effect focused on speech and visuals, my colleague and co-host of Behavioral Grooves, Tim Houlihan and I have started to use it as a way to describe how we think.
Some of us think with a "Kiki" like a brain. Others of us think with a "Bouba" like a brain.
While not perfect, it does help in understanding the differences in how our brains process, retain, and regurgitate information. For instance, a "Kiki brain" is precise and sharp and can remember specific names, dates, and titles. While a more "Bouba brain" retains information about the general concepts and impacts but is less precise and more holistic in the combination of ideas and thoughts.
So while Tim can typically recall the name of a behavioral science study, the year it was published, and the author(s) (very much a Kiki brain), Kurt can usually only recall the concept that the study explored, how that concept can be applied, and how it interacts with other behavioral science concepts (more of a Bouba brain).
Often times during the podcast, my Bouba mind will be at a loss for the name of a study or a particular researcher, however, Tim's Kiki brain will have those names readily available. On the other side of the coin, Tim will be reciting a specific study and my Bouba brain will instantly go to the nuances of the application of how this works and implications for the people involved.
Of course, like most other ways of describing ourselves, this is not an either/or situation. I would argue that we all have aspects of Kiki thinking AND Bouba thinking depending on the topic, situation, and other factors (i.e., how much sleep we had the night before). And no brain is just Kiki or Bouba – we shift between the two on a regular basis. Like personalities, these descriptions are just the tendencies for the way we think. For instance, I'm not always at a loss for remembering a study name or researcher nor do I not understand the subtleties or connections from those studies that I do remember.
We fluctuate on a continuum and we often move easily between the thinking styles.
In general, my notion is that Kiki brains are more admired. Those are the people that I don't like getting into debates with, because they will bring in facts and figures and names at lightning speed and I'm just trying to stay up and connect the dots. I need to be on my phone looking up references and facts, while they are seemingly pulling them out of the air. People with KikI brains come across as smarter and more informed – because they can recall these details whereas people with Bouba brains are left talking about the general proposition.
Kiki brains are not fumbling to remember people's names, the exact figure for the organization's budget or the year that the Challenger exploded.
At this point, there is no research that is on this or supports this crazy theory. However, by naming these types of thinking styles, I think we can better interact with each other and contribute to our work. The power of this is in helping us understand how we communicate with others and understanding how we process and remember information.Notes

Cristina Bicchieri, PhD is the S. J. Patterson Harvie Professor of Social Thought and Comparative Ethics, a Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, a Professor of Legal Studies at the Wharton School, the Head of the Behavioral Ethics Lab, the Director of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program, and is the Faculty Director of the Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences Program at the University of Pennsylvania. She's one busy woman! We met up with her at the NoBeC (Norms and Behavioral Change) conference that her program sponsored in the Kislak Center at UPenn.
Cristina's program is in its 3rd year and hosts 75 students from 12 different countries. The unique program emphasizes practical applications of behavioral science and cross-disciplinary work. Students come from celebrity restaurants, tech businesses, NGOs, non-profits and global corporations and find the program engaging because of its diversity. If you're interested, we encourage you to check it out – there are links in the episode notes for how to reach them.
We had some recording issues when we were talking to Christina. Some edits were made to accommodate our gaffs and we hope you won't mind. And, because we recorded it on the sidelines of a conference, you might hear some background noise occasionally.

Kurt and Tim like to read about behavioral science and a variety of related fields. To help those interested in the subject, but unsure how to pick good books to either get started or advance their learning, our 2019 Top 10 Reading List should help. Our Top 10 list is really a Top 9, since both Kurt and Tim already had one of the books on both of their lists. But we also go beyond that list with some honorable mentions (that could have easily been swapped for some of our top choices), as well as a shortlist of fiction and poetry for your review.
We hope you enjoy this year's list and encourage you to let us know your thoughts about it. Did we nail the top picks? Did we miss some? What's on your reading list for 2020? Who do you think should be a guest on Behavioral Grooves in 2020? Let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

This is Behavioral Grooves' 100th episode!
Who would have thought when we started out two years ago without a clue about HOW to produce and publish a podcast that we'd reach this milestone? Our first podcast recording began with a very willing Dr. James Heyman, a computer with some recording software, and a dinky little microphone before a meetup we were doing that night. But the conversation was terrific, and we launched it with excitement. Today, we are more thoughtful, have better equipment, and continue to have great guests.
For our 100th Episode, we traveled to Philadelphia to host Annie Duke, Jeff Kreisler and Dr. Michael Hallsworth in front of a live audience at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. A little about each of them…
This episode covers decision making in an uncertain world with these three renowned experts. We talk about biases and hacks to deal with those biases. And we dove into the role that context plays in our decision making.
After the live event, Kurt and Tim groove on some of the highlights of the discussion. Following that, Tim shares a recap in the Bonus Track portion of the episode.Guests
Michael Hallsworth, PhD is the Managing Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America, based in Brooklyn, New York. He has also worked on health and taxes in the Cabinet Office of the UK government and has authored behavior change frameworks including MINDSPACE and EAST.
Annie Duke is the author of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts, which quickly became a national bestseller. At one point in her career, she was a professional card player, where she won millions in tournament poker. And she is the co-founder of The Alliance for Decision Education, a non-profit whose mission is to improve lives by empowering students through decision skills education.
Jeff Kreisler is a Princeton-educated lawyer who became a comedian, then an author, and then a total advocate for behavioral science. With his co-author, Dan Ariely, they wrote Dollars and Sense: How We Misthink Money and How to Spend it Smarter.Sponsors and Recognition
It is important to note our sponsors. Podbean, who has been hosting us since the very first episode, supported our endeavor and helped us live stream our event to listeners all over the world.
We are very grateful to PeopleScience, an organization that supports the application of behavioral sciences with special emphasis on the world of rewards and recognition. PeopleScience is a terrific resource for job postings and original authorship. And, most importantly, PeopleScience is doing something that we love: they are bringing more science to the world of work.
Special thanks go to a few of our peeps, too. Ben Granlund and Raya Parks helped us prepare for and execute the event. Chris Nave and Eugen Dimant at UPenn sent their masters students to the hall after a very long day of lectures. And Trey Altemose managed all of the people and technical issues as our stage manager. Your best friend at any live event is your stage manager and Trey guided us at every turn.

Katy Milkman is no ordinary behavioral scientist. She's a Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at Wharton and has a secondary faculty appointment in the University of Pennsylvania's Medical School in the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. She's Co-Director, with Angela Duckworth, at the non-profit Behavior Change for Good Initiative. She's the host of one of our favorite podcasts, called Choiceology, she is in the middle of writing a book, and she's a Mom and Partner all at the same time.
We are grateful to her for taking time to record a conversation with us about her work on temptation bundling, the sorts of projects she's getting at the Behavior Change for Good organization, and a few tidbits about what her book, coming out in 2021, will have in store for the readers.
Most importantly, Katy shared three important pieces of wisdom about behavior change during our conversation: 1. Behavior change is hard – cut yourself some slack. 2. We humans are not built to do the right thing all the time. 3. Just keep trying.
Stay tuned for our BONUS TRACK at the end where we review key takeaways and offer up a Groove idea for the week!

Chris Nave, PhD is the Associate Director of the Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences Program at the University of Pennsylvania. We caught up with Chris at the NoBeC conference (Norms and Behavioral Change Conference) at UPenn. NoBeC brought together some of the brightest researchers in the field and we got to attend!
The Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences program is in its 3rd year with 75 students from 12 countries. The students come from jobs in restaurants, fire stations, small businesses, and global corporations and they intend to leave UPenn with an understanding of what it means to be a behavioral scientist, but not actually BE one.
We met Chris through our friend, Jeff Kreisler, and we instantly connected as members of the same tribe. But it was even cooler when Chris invited us to attend the conference and to record conversations with some of the researchers.
This episode is the cornerstone of the series we recorded at the University of Pennsylvania and we are excited to share an over of the master's program from Chris Nave.Links

Chris Brown is in human risk management and practice is set in backcountry snow. He grew up outside of Philadelphia and after graduating with a degree in Urban Design/Architecture, he moved to Utah to pursue certification with the AMGA (American Mountain Guides Association) in avalanche training.
Chris works as a ski guide and avalanche/snow science professional, but his real job is helping skiers overcome their biases. He incorporates the work of Kahneman and Tversky, Richard Thaler and other great researchers into his classes and we found his intentionality in decision making noteworthy.
We had a great conversation with Chris and we also want to express our gratitude to friend and colleague, Ben Granlund, for connecting us with Chris. Ben attended one of Chris' classes and found it so engaging that he referred us to Chris. Ben was also delighted that Chris relies heavily on behavioral science and reminds us that the biggest threat to your life in avalanche country is your own decision making.
After our recording stopped, we discussed Guide Services for training. If you are interested, check out AMGA (amga.com) and the American Avalanche Association: https://www.americanavalancheassociation.org/Links

Sometimes things just go better in twos and that was the case regarding our guests for this episode. Zarak Kahn is the Behavioral Innovation Director at Maritz and Erik Johnson is an independent Behavioral Science Consultant. They are the co-hosts of Action Design Radio and board members at Action Design Network. Kurt and Tim have known them as coaches and colleagues and wanted to talk to them about all of that.
We discussed how the application of behavioral science continues to grow in both the corporate and policy words. Today, there are more jobs, more workshops, more bachelor's programs, more masters programs, more PhD programs, more meetups and more bootcamps than ever before. We expressed our collective desires to make behavioral science so easy to do it will be ingrained into every job from UX to Marketing to HR, and how we'd like to see people applying a behavioral lens in all of their decision-making.
In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim emphasized the importance of expanding the community of people applying behavioral science and we are grateful to share the mantle with very bright and fine folk like Erik and Zarak.Links

Victoria Shaffer is a researcher and professor at the University of Missouri. Victoria focuses on applying decision psychology and behavioral economics to medical decision making. In particular, she is researching judgment and decision making and how they impact the design of patient decision support tools.
Tim and Victoria met working on a field research project with Dan Ariely, PhD because of her work on non-monetary rewards with Scott Jeffrey, PhD. She was pushing back on common sense preferences, such as money is the best motivator, just as she is today with her work in the medical field.
Our conversation with Victoria began on familiar ground: the preference for cash as a reward and how it's actually less effective than non-monetary rewards in incentive schemes. But we soon turned to the very personal journey of how she and her mother dealt with decisions surrounding her father's diagnosis with cancer. Her personal journey became the foundation for important research to help patients, their loved ones and the caregivers communicate more effectively through stories.
It's a fascinating discussion and we hope you enjoy it.Links

Kurt and Tim were invited to attend the Norms and Behavioral Change (NoBeC) workshop at the University of Pennsylvania on October 17 and 18, 2019, and what we experienced blew us away. We were impressed with a terrific diversity of academic fields studying social norms, the great work they are doing, and the generosity of the community (at UPenn as well as the behavioral science researchers from around the world).
This gathering was very different from industry assemblies we've attended, which in and of itself was not a surprise. However, there were three noteworthy differences. First, the lineup of speakers was heavily weighted toward researchers with findings on projects involving social norms. Second, academic audience members held speakers accountable for rigorous processes and the descriptions of their results. Lastly, the Q&A at the end of each presentation was filled with animated questions from economists, behavioral economists, sociologists, political scientists, philosophers, strategists, law professors, and of course, psychologists. The cross-disciplinary aspect of this group reinforced the need for more diverse thinking in the business world.
We came away with a greater appreciation of the role that social norms play in our behaviors and decision making as well as the tremendous research that's being conducted on related topics.
We will be publishing our series of interviews with researchers from the workshop in the coming weeks, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we did.Links

Paul Hebert knows incentives. He is the Vice President of Individual Performance Strategy at Creative Group, Inc. and a writer, speaker and consultant and is widely considered an expert on motivation and incentives focused on influencing behaviors that drive business results. Paul has been interviewed by the BBC and USA TODAY because of his work applying solid psychological theory to sales motivation.
Paul, Kurt and Tim recently co-authored an eBook called "The 7 Deadly Sins to Avoid in Your Next Sales Incentive." The purpose was to help sales managers who are struggling to maximize their effort and results when they use sales incentives. In the podcast, we recap the most common sins committed by sales managers and discuss ways of avoiding them.Spread goals evenlyGive a huge prize to the top performerMust be above quota to earnWe'll figure it out behind the scenesUnder-quota performers can't be winnersIt's all about the Benjamins
We hope you enjoy the discussion and recommend you download the eBook for reference.Links

Goals are often misunderstood. Goals are much more than just objectives that are handed down to subordinates. Rather, goals are self-determined in the best cases, and at the very least, are set collaboratively to get the most out of them.
We discuss Goal Setting Theory (GST), results from research that Tim conducted, and we address the three key elements that must be included to maximize the effect of the goals: 1. The goals must be perceived as achievable. Without perceived achievability, the goal is not accepted and, therefore, not a goal. 2. There must be some involvement with those who are executing the goals. If the goal is handed down from on high without meaningful participation from the person who's going to act on it, it's not a goal. 3. There must be a positive relationship between the goal and the reward (including a perceived assessment of risk). As the risk of achievability increases, so must the perceived value of the reward.
This short grooving session also delves into some myths and how to deal with them. Ultimately, we want listeners to come away with a clear understanding of the powerful results than can be obtained with practical and effective use of self-selected goals.Links

Brad Shuck, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, Evaluation, and Organizational Development at the University of Louisville. He is also recognized as one of the world's most knowledgeable experts on employee engagement and is a sought-after speaker from around the world.
Brad's work is recognized as some of the most influential research in the field of employee engagement and his insights are invaluable. On top of that, Brad is a drummer, a lover of all sorts of music and our discussion traversed topics from the social determinants of health to having parents that were patient enough to allow him to learn drums as a child.
In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim dive deeper into creating a work culture of meaning and we ask the musical question: how does moving from town to town as a child impact your musical tastes?

Jim Guszcza is the chief data scientist at Deloitte Analytics. His title paints a picture that he's a total numbers geek. And that would be a fair, but single-dimensional assessment. What it doesn't speak to is Jim's passion for behavioral science and, more importantly, the collaboration of data science and behavioral science.
He makes a case for the application of behavioral science simply with this analogy: if we need help to see, we get eyeglasses. In so doing, we are using science and technology to help correct our faulty vision. But when it comes to correcting for our biases, we don't turn to science and technology and that might improve our decision making. But we could. That's where the collaboration between data science (or Big Data) and behavioral science come together: applying science and technology to decision making. And THAT was fascinating.
In our discussion about music, we talked about Jim's equal interest in a Dvorak string quartet as much as he is the in the soundtrack to "Wonder Boys" or a great jazz piano performance. He shared he has a penchant for small venues and small bands.
He then shared some tips about how to apply behavioral science to your job and your life. He focused on reading books and listening to podcasts as ways to become more educated on the topic and to help you apply behavioral science principles.
NOTE: Behavioral Grooves is celebrating our 100th episode in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 17, 2019 with authors Annie Duke and Jeff Kreisler.

Gina Merchant, PhD is a behavioral scientist who wound her way through academia and into the corporate world for the purpose of improving the health of communities, not just individuals. Her work examines how online and offline social networks influence our health behaviors and healthcare decision-making.
Gina shared her insights through research she's been conducting with promotores, the women who govern how information flows through Hispanic communities in Southern California. The research explores how the work these women do impacts the health and wellbeing of their communities.
Our discussion also included Gina's thoughts on misinformation, especially with respect to the myths that people have come to believe about vaccinations. This topic came to light as a source of passion in her work. We also talked about the role that a behavioral scientist can play in a corporate setting. She shared how business leaders can experience positive results by including a behavioral scientist in communication and design discussions.
We also want to remind everyone that we're celebrating our 100th episode in Philadelphia. It's an evening event and it will be live streamed. If you're interested in attending or listening live, check out the Behavioral Grooves website at www.behavioralgrooves.com.Links

We are re-sharing our original September 2018 discussion with Annie Duke to announce the Behavioral Grooves 100th Episode on the evening of October 17, 2019 in the Historic Hamilton Auditorium at the Pennsylvania Academy for Performing Arts. It's a live event and we invite you to join us to hear Annie, Lila Gleitman and other guests discuss the application of behavioral sciences. Seating is very limited for this intimate engagement and we hope to see you there! Links below...
. . .
Annie Duke's latest book, Thinking in Bets, Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts, is a masterful mash-up of her life as a researcher, poker player and charitable organization founder. In it, she explores new ideas on how to make better decisions. Our interview with her expanded beyond the book and we talked extensively about probabilistic thinking and having people hold us accountable for our decision making. As expected, our interview covered an eclectic mix of behavioral biases, sociology, language development and, of without fail, music.
We used the movie The Matrix and the blue pill/red pill metaphor for looking at the world as accurate vs. inaccurate, rather than right or wrong. We discussed how tribes can offer us distinctiveness and belongingness but also confine us with the tribe's sometimes negative influences. We also examined learning pods and how they can be used to keep our decisions more in line with reality.
If you like this episode, please forward it on to a friend or colleague and help Kurt win his bet with Tim for who pays the donation to How I Decide. You can find more information on or donate to this wonderful non-profit at www.howidecide.org.

Christian Hunt is the founder of Human Risk, a Behavioral Science Consulting and Training firm specializing in the fields of Risk, Compliance, Conduct & Culture. Before this, he was the head of Behavioral Science at UBS and before that, Chief Operating Officer of the Prudential Regulation Authority, a subsidiary of the Bank of England responsible for regulating Financial Services.
Christian shared his 5 principles of human risk – myths that humans cling to that don't help us do what we ought to be doing. They are all founded on the notion that very few people are doing things they shouldn't be doing – and yet most of the rules in corporate culture are created to prevent, rather than uplift. And Christian's biggest beef is that many, many people are NOT doing the things they SHOULD be doing – again, in part because of context and culture.
We encountered some internet gremlins that mucked up the portion of our discussion with Christian that was about music. Regrettably, we are unable to bring you Christian's Top 10 Behavioral Science Hits but we promise to return to it in the future.
In our grooving session, we discuss the implications of the mental algorithms and what we can do about them. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Christian Hunt.Links

Brian Ahearn is Behavioral Grooves' first repeat guest. (He was first featured in Episode 39: The Heart of Reciprocity.) We recently reconnected with him to discuss his new book, Influence PEOPLE. The book explores the science behind the influence process – what drives people to take the actions you want them to take, without manipulation or trickery. The book is about changing people's behavior. Positive thoughts, and even agreement from others, only go so far – and seldom lead to a change in behavior. Our conversation with Brian focused on specific ways to make that happen.
Brian's book is not intended as an academic replay of all the aspects of the science of persuasion. While the science is foundational, the book focuses on the practical aspects of application with lots of great examples and case studies, many of them from Brian's personal experiences. We recommend you check it out if you're uninterested in the science but care deeply for the "how-to" part of the story.
We also returned to music and revisited Brian's eclectic playlists. We focused on his predilection to combine Frank Sinatra and Coldplay into a single "clean" playlist that he uses in client workshops and presentations.
In our grooving session, we discussed whether the tool can be held accountable or is it only the user of the tool? And are you familiar with the Wilhelm Scream? Listen in to find out.
For those of you listening before October 2019, Kurt and Tim will be celebrating our podcast's 100th episode in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Performing Arts on October 17th. Our lead guest will be Annie Duke.Links

Alex Blau is a vice president at ideas42 with projects in consumer finance, design and decision-making, and international development. In our discussion, we focused on a new project he's working on in the area of supervision of people after they're released from incarceration, or what we commonly refer to as parole.
The cost of incarceration and supervision is more than just social – it comes with a big price tag. Nearly $7 billion is spent annually to supervise individuals coming out of the prison system and another $9 billion is spent on incarceration. More than 4.5 million people in the United States are under supervision and government data indicate that roughly two-thirds of those released from prison will be arrested within 3 years.
Roughly 50% of the arrests are for rule violations (the other 50% for committing new crimes). Alex and his colleagues at ideas42 are researching ways to change the context of the world the parolees return to with the hope of reducing recidivism. We talked about the novel interventions they're testing.
We also discussed a brief history of Jamaican music with an emphasis on the rich catalog of the island nation's artists, emerging near the middle of the 20th century. In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim cover the implementation-intention framework and how reminders via association can be more powerful than specific triggers, especially when triggers are difficult to identify.
We hope you enjoy our discussion with Alex Blau.Links

Tuesday, September 08, 2009
On September 29, 2009, soul diva Melba Moore and smooth jazz favorite Phil Perry team up for a new album of great duets on the inspirational The Gift of Love. Moore, a Tony Award-winning actress and vocalist who has topped the R&B Charts, starred on Broadway, TV and film (most notably in the storied musicals Hair and Purlie) and who was recently the subject on an episode of TV One's lauded documentary series Unsung and Perry, one of R&B's great balladeers known for his velvety-smooth falsetto, and who has worked with everyone from Patti LaBelle and Anita Baker to Peabo Bryson and George Duke, bring to life an unforgettable set of originals and classics. The dynamic duo are joined by producers Chris 'Big Dog' Davis (George Clinton, Maysa, Najee) and Preston Glass (Earth, Wind & Fire, Natalie Cole and Kenny G) in association with co-producer David Nathan. The Gift of Love features a sublime mix of inspirational compositions that Melba Moore hopes will connect with individuals on a deep level. The Gift of Love marks Melba's first return to R&B since her 1990 recording Soul Exposed. Highlights on The Gift of Love include the duo's version of the Sounds of Blackness hit "Optimistic" which sets the tone for the album's upbeat and joyous vibe. Paying homage to one of music's greatest duos, Melba and Phil take on two 1968 Ashford and Simpson classics that were hits for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell - "You're All I Need To Get By" (produced by Preston Glass) and "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" (produced by Chris "Big Dog" Davis). "I think Preston outdid himself with his arrangement," says Melba, "What he did is powerful. Although "You're All I Need To Get By" is an R&B song it is inspirational. He captured the power of what it means when two people really fall in love and are committed to one another. The track sounds so joyful that you just want to dance!" The Gift of Love also features a soulful and down-home version of the John P. Kee song, "It Will Be Alright," in which Melba and Phil bare it all and testify their faith. "I love John P. Kee, the great gospel singer and composer," confesses Melba. The songbird adds, "This song illustrates the classic power of what gospel is and conveys that there is a God and that no matter what is going on, you will be alright. Chris Davis did a great arrangement on the song that just drives you into a higher place. The chord changes just pull you up and hopefully Phil and I do too." Melba delivers a riveting version of the ballad "I Believe." She turns it into a real torch song and one can envision her on Broadway bringing down the house with this show-stopping number. Another highpoint is the Spinners' classic "Sadie."

Tomato Pizza Fondue
Tomato Pizza Fondue
(serves 2-3)
(adapted from Fondue, by Rick Rodgers)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped, seeds removed
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil
1 1/2 cups white wine
500g shredded Fontina cheese
2 tbsp shredded Parmesan
1 tbsp cornstarch
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, stirring and cooking for about 10 minutes until soft. Add the tomatoes, garlic and herbs. Stir while cooking for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Add the wine and bring to a low simmer.
2. Meanwhile, toss the cheeses in a large bowl with the cornstarch.
3. Add the cheeses to the pot, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until melted. If the cheese seems not to be melting, try upping the heat but always stir constantly so it doesn't burn.
4. When the cheese is all melted, transfer the fondue to your fondue pot. Serve with bread pieces.
** Depending on how thick you like it, you may need more wine or a little less cheese!

This looks wonderful. Do you use fresh tomatoes or have you tried this with canned? We don't have good fresh tomatoes this time of year. This looks like a fun holiday dish to try. Thanks for post many f your r copes. I have tried many and they are so good. Karen

Hi Karen :) The original recipe calls for sundried tomatoes, but I have an intolerance to tomato skins, so I use my own canned tomatoes that I preserved from the summer. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, I'm sure you can use canned ones. Just make sure you don't use the liquid from the can. I'm glad you like the fondues!!! :)

Javier Moreno Studio has designed a simple table mirror for Normann Copenhagen. It includes several functions and has a
delightfully organic mode of expression. Flip can be turned up, down and rotated 360 degrees. The tray design of the base means that Flip is both a traditional mirror and an easy and simple storage utility for your bits and bobs.
Javier Moreno Studio consciously avoided a geometric design for Flip. They wanted to use a freer and more organic shape for the mirror instead. The softness of the silhouette contrasts the glass and steel materials and gives the Flip a friendly and
accommodating expression.
Flip is inspired by the traditional dressing table where one can see how one looks in the mirror and at the same time keep all the
small items that are nice to have close at hand before leaving the house. The base functions as a tray and is ideal for keeping items such as jewelry, make-up and keys on.

Steel and glass mirror

Design should be something close to people and also aesthetically pleasing. I like being meticulous and in the design process I try to get the maximum of using less.
