Coquette Cafe's spinach pizza – I know, a French restaurant is probably the last place I should go looking for a slice when there are so many fine pizza options in this city, but this one's definitely worth a taste. Topped with spinach (obviously), roasted garlic and Fontina cheese, this straightforward pizza packs just the right amount of flavor. The crust-to-sauce-to-toppings ratio is nearly perfect, but what really seals the deal is the crisp – but not cracker-thin – crust. – Renee Lorenz

PowerSkin case for iPhone 4 – Extra battery packs that double as cell phone cases aren’t new. I had one years ago with my iPhone 3G, and it worked as advertised. But the beast known as the PowerSkin turns your iPhone (or other smartphone) into a durable, powerful, heavy power plant. With 2000 mAH of juice, it doubles the original battery life of your iPhone. It’s a one-piece, matte black, silicon design, which is more than a little substantial, adding heft and weight to a previously elegant, skinny but unprotected phone. In short, add the PowerSkin to your iPhone and it becomes a thick, heavy brick, but one that stays well-protected and charged for what seems like forever. For $60 on Amazon.com, it’s a pretty good price for someone who needs lots and lots of talk and data time. – Andy Tarnoff

"Creating Dairyland" by Edward Janus (Wisconsin Historical Society Press) – After a brief stint as a dairy farmer, Madison-based Janus moved into journalism and is founder of the Wisconsin Dairy History Project. His new book is subtitled, "How caring for cows saved our soil, created our landscape, brought prosperity to our state and still shapes our way of life in Wisconsin" and that pretty much sums it up. Janus explains in his introduction how 160 years of cows in Wisconsin has even determined the physical landscape of the state and, in the meat of the book, shares conversations with Wisconsin dairy farmers and cheesemakers. Full of photographs and interesting sidebars, the book is a unique and engrossing look at our relationship with our bovine friends. The author will speak and sign books at The Southeast Wisconsin Book Festival in Waukesha on June 18 at 10 a.m. and July 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the rare books room at the Central Library on 8th and Wisconsin. – Bobby Tanzilo

Tiny But Mighty Popcorn - It's called an "ancient variety of popcorn with amazing flavor and health benefits," and I gotta say in this case the slogan is spot on.  Tiny But Mighty Popcorn, from Shellsburg, IA, is great stuff.  Like popcorn?  I guarantee you'll love this stuff.  I got mine at Whole Foods Market.  Learn more here.  - Jeff Sherman

Pannenkoeken from Cafe Benelux - I stopped by the one-day-in-business Cafe Benelux, 346 N. Broadway (across the street from the Wicked Hop in the Third Ward), and despite the newbie-ness of the latest venture from the Lowlands Group, I was super impressed with the space, the service and the food. I was disappointed it wasn't warm or dry enough to sit on what appears to be a spectacular rooftop patio, but weather is something the mighty owners have yet to conquer. Instead, I sat in a large, comfy booth and ordered a Dutch pancake, called a pannenkoeken, which aside from just being fun to say ("pan-kook-en") is also a delicious and filling breakfast item. A pannenkoeken, it turns out, is much larger than a regular pancake and a little bit sweeter – almost a cross between a donut and a pancake. For $6.95 – I got mine simply with sugar and syrup but they are also available with meat and fruit if you so desire – I was absolutely stuffed. However, the bar for breakfast cakes might be raised a bit too high now and I'm not sure my tastebuds will welcome a plain ol' pancake ever again. Sorry, IHOP. - Molly Snyder

Star Trek Enterprise pizza cutter – I love reviewing silly toys, and I'm not embarrassed to admit that I actually like "Star Trek." Still, I probably wouldn't have thought to shell out $30 for an Enterprise-shaped pizza cutter, but since it was sent to me, I'll say this: it's actually a very good pizza cutter. The ergonomics are a little weird, but it really looks like the NCC-1701, and I'll give it a little leeway. The four-inch diameter blade is stainless steel and is quite sharp. In fact, it cuts pizza better than my other cutters in my kitchen. On top of that, it's a conversation starter. Like your inner Trekkie out of its bag and have some fun with this geek-chique utensil. - Andy Tarnoff
