My desire for Le Creuset to release their line of pink and lavender pieces in America is a well known and much complained about topic of cookware conversation. I simply can’t understand why they would keep such lovely colors overseas. Europe, Asia, and South Africa are so lucky. Anyway, I only have two eBay searches […]

I bet you thought I was kidding when I said I was going to buy one of these. Well guess what? I did! Sometimes it seems like Julia Child is the only person who really understands how bad it makes me feel when I burn an entire batch of roasted asparagus into charcoal-like crisps. But […]

Anchor Hocking to the Rescue

June 18, 2007

Remember my pink obsessed craft disaster and how I was so crushed to discover that there didn’t appear to be any way to buy new lids for my favorite glass jars (where I store all of my baking ingredients: flours, sugars etc…). Well I contacted the customer service department of the manufacturer directly and an […]

I Want a Target Chefmate Dutch Oven

January 29, 2007

Oh happy day! I have been trying to hunt down the Target Chefmate Dutch Oven ever since I read about it in Cooks Illustrated after Christmas. I naively thought that I would be able to simply walk into Target, pick up this bright red pot and start cooking stews to my hearts content. I vividly […]
