The Moscow mule mugs are fabulous! They are pure copper as promised and our drinks stayed exceptionally cold.  Our order shipped quickly and arrived on time.  Service from Kitchen Classique is top notch.  I would highly recommend this company.

I love this!  It is so easy to clean.  The color, design, and utility are so French.
This is the real deal, authentic!

In one word, superb.  Sous Vide opens a whole new world of cooking with flavors and textures you have not experienced.  Very well built.  Keeps temperatures constant even when I insert frozen pieces in there.  Yes, the touchscreen is old school and nothing like your smartphone.  And the interface is slow.  But neither is material as far as use of the unit.  If you are into cooking, you owe it to yourself to get into Sous Vide and buying a high-quality unit like this.

These are some excellent knives for entertaining, having friends,family over for a nice dinner. They seem very fancy and high class. Very well designed , excellent quality. You can't get any better then this brand. My mom noticed them as I live at home with her and my brother she said this is a great brand. They got a nice shine to them. They are definitely of high quality stainless steel, sharp, and very fancy.  The case that comes with them too has a  certain elegance to it as well. These in all are great, and as I said in the title the most beautiful steak knives I have ever come across. I would definitely check out other items by this company as well. I am completely taken back by the quality of these steak knives and appearance as well.

Though hesitant, I am more than pleased. The first book was excellent and this demonstrates the evolution of Chef Humm and his team. The recipes while not easy, there is a simplicity about many of them. The layers of very few focussed ingredients per recipe makes for wonderful flavors, presentation and inspires one to further explore. All recipes and ingredients are treated as if the luxury once reserved only for truffles and foie gras. A maturity within that was quite frankly unexpected. Highly recommend.

As a long time fan of Maureen's blog I looked forward to her cookbook.  I was not disappointed.  This is one of the most beautiful cookbooks I've seen.  The photography is first class.  The recipes are a combination of traditional right out of her Sitto's (Grandmother's) kitchen and those that have been adapted to American tastes and available ingredients.  Along with the recipes are family stories that give the book a "homey" feeling.  Then there are pages of suggestions on ingredients and techniques such as how to pick grape leaves and how to peel chickpeas.  As in any Lebanese community the book was put together with the help of "cousins" testing the recipes to make sure they met standards.  Of course in Lebanese communities everyone is a "cousin".  But the point is this isn't just the author's taste that passed or eliminated a recipe but the opinion and adaptation of and by a community.

The book is well made with heavy 8X10 pages.  My only disappointment was it is printed in China but that is the way of the world today.

If you like this book or to get an idea of the writing style that went into the book check out the blog at  http://www.maureenabood.com/  That will give you a better idea than these reviews.

A very nice apron that adds a little class and fun to any kitchen. It has a buckle adjustment for the neck, long back ties, a good sized pocket in the front and plenty of room to fit most chefs. The pattern is nice and being vertical lines, is a little more flattering than horizontal!

These recipes will bring joy to your kitchen.  The photos are beautiful, the print is easy to read, it's laid out well with ideas for wine as well as decorations.  This would make a great wedding gift or present in general.

There are recipes for both appetizers, with cocktail/wine ideas, as well as dishes for a formal meal, garden parties, alfresco dining.  There is also a menu for a Mardi Gras Feast which is the only one that mentions a specific holiday.  The rest of the menus are for a Moroccan Soiree, Celebrating Italy, An Evening in Spain, etc.

The Zucchini Fritters were wonderful.  I had just pulled a wonderful zucchini from the garden and made this for dinner.  The recipe calls for fresh herbs which I did not have so I substituted dried and it turned out well.  Also, the Party Sangria was wonderful.  I have kept that recipe as a standard now.

The Cheesecake with Rhubarb Sauce, I added strawberries to the rhubarb blend and it was delicious.  The cheesecake was a little more citrusy than I'm used to but with the rhubarb sauce it complimented it well.

Overall, a great cookbook, excellent photography, wonderful recipes.  Definitely a keeper.  I would also recommend&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Perfect-Recipes-for-Having-People-Over/dp/0618329722/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Perfect Recipes for Having People Over</a>&nbsp;if you're looking for good recipes for a crowd.

This cookbook is not your mother's old, dusty casserole-filled book.  It is classy and contemporary - great as a Welcome Gift for the Lone Star State. It's also an entertaining goldmine, with meal suggestions and party tips, so don't think it's filled with cowboy references and Tex-Mex.  Everything I've tried has been wonderful, and met with rave reviews. It has become a mainstay, because every recipe is a winner.

Its build quality far exceeds my expectation of kitchenware at this prince point. A beautiful piece with many utilities...

We get daily use out of this baby and really love it! The white is a super classy look in the kitchen and will go with any decor. We love all the settings it offers and our only complaint is that the base is unevenly weighted. It makes it awkward to pick up and put away. You have to hold it just right so it doesn't fall out of your hands.

These high quality dishes are larger than the usual casual dinnerware. The mug  is 15% bigger than my Pfaltzgraff everyday set. The bowl is wide and flat, not as bid as a pasta bowl, but not a deep cereal bowl, either. Call it a soup bowl. The dinner plate is large, too. 10 1/2 inch diameter. Normal salad plate 7 1/2".

The set come in three shades-- grey, sand beige and seafoam blue that would look good mixed. The colors remind me of mid Century Russell Wright, so do the shapes of the serveware. If you have a mid Century modern vibe in your decor, these would absolutely work well.

This dinnerware is made in Portugal, and it has that smooth, silky Portuguese porcelain feel. The outside of bowl and mug is white, the grey looks hand glazed in a grey underglaze in a circular brushed application. A shiny glaze over all. The handle of the mug is squared and modern-looking, not just a flat strap of ceramic.

Understated set, yet showing quality above big box store less expensive sets. Mikasa seems to go that extra step to make something a bit special--I've had a Mikasa crystal candy bowl in my outer office area for years and it's very elegant. So is this place setting, even though it's meant to be casual. Not inexpensive, but good things never are.

This is a very beautiful and unique pattern; we purchased the whole set (service for 8), including the square platter and vegetable platter for a gift and it turned out to be even more beautiful and functional than it appeared in the photo. It's a bit eclectic, modern, and very classy.

Absolutely wonderful kitchen appliance. I highly recommend it. It's multi-purpose, and looks great as well. Just be sure to read instructions for maximum utility of all functions.
