"In our world, an apron is just a cape on backwards."
- 'The Main Dish' Laura Laiben
Become a superhero in your own kitchen with a visit to our Kitchen Shop, either in person or online! (And, by the way, we also carry aprons.)
We’re in love with food. Stories about food, people who cook food, and the products that make our time in the kitchen easier and more exciting. We’re here to help you make magic in the kitchen.
Feel. Taste. Touch. Learn.
Join us in The Kitchen Shop and we’ll show you a whole new way to experience a culinary store. From interactive displays to wine tastings and cooking demos, there’s always something good going on.
Come In! Smell what’s cooking in our kitchens. Our Gadget Gurus are happy to help you find that cutting edge tool, unusual culinary gift or the perfect cooking class. We’d also be happy to chat about Grandma’s Cheeseball recipe if you like. Or shop online where you’ll find many of our most popular tools, gadgets and gifts. We won’t judge you for shopping in your jammies either (we might if you wore them into the shop though.. ’cause that would be weird.)
