Open Call For Artisan Food Businesses

"You should get more of this," my daughter, almost 18, said, chewing on some of SlantShack grass-fed beef Jerky. "It's really good." Never mind her phrasing (would have been nice? "Beloved father, I would be eternally grateful to you and wash your car if you bought me another sample pack of this most excellent jerky"). But OK. She's a jerky hound, I love her, so when I found this small jerky biz on the OpenSky site I gave it a shot. I'd never have known about the Jersey-based business had it not been for OpenSky, an Internet marketplace that I've been a part of since before they even had a website (first post, 11/9/09). I just thought their ...

Holiday Gift Week: Big-Ticket Items

Lamb braising in my Le Creuset Dutch oven, which is a fantastic gift to give that special someone. Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman.

It's time again for my picks for the big-ticket items, those expensive appliances and pots that are game changers, but real investments. I've just started a relationship with Le Creuset, the company that makes the best enameled cast-iron cookware on earth. My go-to pot is the 7-quart Dutch Oven (they're made in France and the company wants me to call them French ovens, which I find interesting since there really should no longer be a nationality attached to the thing; my preferred name for this one is "My Favorite Pot"). It's what I bought my beloved Dad long ago; now, sadly, I have two of them. My other favorite is the braiser, the ...

Holiday Gift Week:
My Favorite OpenSky Tools

I'm going to devote the next several days to my top picks for holiday shopping for kitchen tools, as I did last year. I'll have a day for big-ticket items, lower-priced tools, and my favorite cookbooks of the season. I'm starting with my favorite tools that OpenSky has sourced for me—first, the higher-priced items and then lower-priced items, and concluding with my top pick for every kitchen on my or anyone's Opensky page. The above Fagor induction burner is killer for so many reasons. It gets pans really hot really fast really efficiently. It's portable so you can use it anywhere that there's an outlet. We used it last night in the dining room to keep the gravy hot.  It's a great extra burner for big cooking ...

Favorite Tools Giveaway

As some readers know, I and my buddy Mac have begun to manufacture new cooking tools that we love, and we're already getting great feedback. We love The Spanker, above (photo by Donna, thanks hon!)—the big paddle for stirring big pots. There's simply nothing out there like it that we could find. I'll be using it to stir a double batch of Hoppin' John for a New Year's Day fete. But my mom said it was too big for her—she never cooked in batches that would require this bad boy.  Another reader said the same, but added that she loved the paddles she'd received so much that she'd have been happy to pay the same amount for two small paddles. This is exactly the kind of feedback we need, and because we've produced our tools in ...
