How To Cook With Ceramic Flameware Stovetop Cookware
Cooking in clay pots results in better tasting food. But traditionally, stoneware pots could only be used in the oven. When Paula Wolfert started working on her book "Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking" she was looking for a US potter to make stoneware that would also go on a direct flame stovetop. She put us in touch with Bill Sax who was extremely generous with his knowledge and experience with this type of ware. We've worked well over 2 years now developing, perfecting and testing a stoneware based, ceramic stovetop cookware that will take a direct flame. In doing this, we've learned ...

Cassoulet-Perfect for the New Year!
For the last 3 years, we've been part of a group that have put together Paula Wolfert's Cassoulet from her book "The Cooking of SW France" and had an early New Year's celebration. At the first one of these, one of the celebs was originally from France...moved to the US when he was 17. At the first taste of this fabulous cassoulet, Jean Picard's eyes teared up, "this reminds me so much of home and my childhood". (I will admit he recovered nicely with a few more glasses of wine, some great salad by Candice and bread and cheesecake by Shirley). We ...
