Food For Thought: We Heart Food Rules

We eagerly digest every yummy rule that fills the pages of Michael Pollan’s eater’s manual! With beautiful illustrations by Maira Kalman, we rarely let this book out of sight when doing our weekly grocery shop or planning our next dinner party. Consumption philosophies of how and what to eat make this book a modern foodie’s “how-to” everything.

Foodies Rejoice: The Mast Brothers’ Chocolate is Now in Toronto!

Ahoy Matey!

Even the most ambitious sailor needs to put aside his ale at some point. We love using this locally-designed wine stopper to save our brew. The cork bottom will seal any outside air and the ceramic anchor looks beautiful on display in our kitchen. Suited for a pirate or fisherman, the wine stop stands 1.2” x 2” x 3.6”.
