Working hard in the kitchen; chopping onions, garlic and intensely flavored ingredients leave you smelling like, well, the ode-de-ingredients. Our Chef’s Bar Soap is designed for the purpose of…

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…

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…

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…
“Manny” Subjects Taught: Grilling – Seafood and Fish – Regional Cuisine – Date Nights – Private Events Everyone loves Chef Manny. He’s the bomb 💣. 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…
