Well, as it says, welcome to the blog. Apart from the obvious advantage of being able to bring you Cookshop Plus information anytime, and from anywhere, now seems the perfect time to begin. Why? Because some nasty little gremlins did something anti-social to our website. So while we put together a spiffy new website for you, we can begin here with a more casual approach to becoming familiar with Cookshop Plus, one of Australia's premier kitchenware, and now homeware, boutiques.
We have so much exciting stock coming through the doors every day that we will never be short of something to say. The owners have just returned from a triumphant visit to trade shows in America, and have brought back some exclusive new products: some fabulously innovative, some deliciously retro. How have you ever lived without chop frills? The exclusive Regency Wraps brand has all the kitchen bits and pieces your grandmother used to use (and some she wished she had!). I have a stock-mad friend currently testing out the Soup Sock. We will bring you more in-depth reviews and product information from this brand over the coming weeks.
Ina Garten? You might recognise her more easily if I call her The Barefoot Contessa. Anyone who has watched her television show cannot help but be enticed by her fabulous creations (although, it can be hard to keep one's mind on the food with the Kitchenaid Stand Mixer wizzing about, and the flashing of All-Clad cookware everywhere...). Now, you too can be a Barefoot Contessa (or Count, perhaps?) with Ina's divine baking pre-mixes. We are in the process of testing them all (well...we need to be able to describe them) and we have plenty more info regarding these gorgeous products, and other Barefoot Contessa business, to come.
Phew! Who would've thought the first post would become so fullsome? We have so much in store (literally) for you. Of course, if there is anything you would like us to look at, or if you have any comments or suggestions, shoot us an email. Better yet, come in for a visit.
And if you happen to be a restaurateur, chef, providore or similar, let us know what's happening for you. We'd love to let our readers know what's going on in the Southern Highlands' food scene.
