Quick. Tell us three things in your kitchen or fridge, we’ll try to come up with something tasty. That’s KB’s challenge with our friends from Kare11: Belinda, Dave and Bobby. They each gave us three things, we came up with recipes and we shot videos for the show! We’re all on lockdown and we all need to keep…
Kate’s chocolates are a work of art! Named as one of Oprah’s O-List picks, these chocolates are perfect for giving and getting. A peek inside the box leaves you wondering if you ordered a box of chocolates or a box of hand painted curios made for display. Kate and her team use a 5 step…
We’ve loved Staub Cookware since it was only available in France. KB read about it in a tiny blurb in Metropolitan Home, a wonderful home and design magazine that went out of business many years ago. Matte black finish with a brass handle. Manufactured at a small factory near Colmar in France. Functional, simple, authentic and beautiful. We met…
Black Currants and Raspberries to the right Many years ago, before we even started working at Cooks, KB was in Duluth. On his way home, he passed a tiny sign on the roadside saying, “Black Currants and Raspberries to the right.” The right happened to be a few turns and three or four miles into the countryside, but it certainly started with a…
He’s always around and folks are always curious. Yup, he’s a straight-up, standard poodle. He’s obsessed with anything small that’s rooting around the yard: squirrels, rabbits, Apollo, the neighbor’s cat. He’s smart as a whip and more than a little bossy. Because KB and Marie are pretty consistently on the move, it’s always been easier…

He’s a force in the kitchen, a well-rounded chef and individual. He’s forgotten more than most of us will ever learn. From breaking down sides of beef to teaching how…
It should come as no surprise that Wüsthof is one of our favorite vendors. We look forward to their visits, and we start planning their next visit before we’ve even finished their current visit. Using the word “vendor” might actually be selling them short. They are more than vendors. They’re collaborators, friends, advisors, and confidants. And…
Sure, she’s bossy, a little impatient and can keep up with the salty vernacular of just about any longshoreman! She also shatters every stereotype of the term “millennial.” Bright, sharp, witty, effervescent and a complete wiz with the Google machine and a buying table, Andrea is a huge part of all the goodness happening here…

Cooking has been a lifelong passion for Tammy. She started manning the stove at her family’s North Dakota farm at age 15, having proven herself useless on the tractors 🚜. She’s been cooking ever since, even when she was partially distracted by careers as an intensive care nurse (five years) and trial lawyer (23 years)….
