Pans made with copper are great for making sauces as copper heats quickly and evenly. And I like the "bling."
It's expensive bling, even when you can find it at Home Goods.
Dehillerin, a huge cookware store (with lots of copper),
is a favorite stop of ours in Paris.
Coastal Cottage Dreams writes about this store.
I saw this image on Design Chic...
and it reminded me of our kitchen.
Some of our copper, like the tray above,
has been bought at flea markets

How pretty is Tina's, from
The Enchanted Home, copper cookware?
Here is a good report on understanding cookware

I keep these clean with just a little effort using
Try it on brass and stainless steel, too.
A chef at a cooking class once told us that every
kitchen could get by with just three basic pans:
• a stainless steel stock pot
• and an iron skillet
I made this centerpiece in five minutes using
kumquats from the yard and leaves from the indoor tree.
(ok, maybe it looks just thrown together).
Chocolate Chunk Blondies. Try them! They're great.
I've already had two :(
But I packaged up most of them for our guests to take home.
Thanks for visiting!
