ning of fabulous and simple food tips, techniques and reci-pes. For those of you who were unable to attend the event, we have Rose’s newest book, “Secrets for Permanent Weight Loss”* in the store, and in a tribute to mothers, we present a Mother’s Day menu in this newsletter, fea-turing several recipes from Rose herself.

On this Mother’s Day I will be thinking fondly of my mother, home in Germany, and wish all mothers a day of love, spent with your families!

Sigrid Wolm

May is the month we cele-brate mothers, and for my mother, this year is a particu-larly significant one — it is the 50th anniversary of her being a mother! Each year as we get older, I think we appreciate more and more the contributions mothers (and women generally) have made and continue to make, to our lives and our commu-nities. I was reminded of this when I read “Gift From the Sea” by Anne Morrow Lind-bergh (1906-1993), the widow of aviator Charles Lindbergh Jr, and noted writer and aviation pioneer in

her own right. As a mother of six, she too struggled with many of the challenges women still face today — too much to do and not enough time.

At FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE TABLE we want to help make the time with your fam-ily as stress-free and pleasur-able as possible. We offer a number of kitchen toys & gadgets that help ease the workload, and offer ideas and products to celebrate the joy of sharing food and cooking with your loved ones. And there’s no one more passion-ate in the kitchen than celeb-rity chef Jamie Oliver, and we now carry his new line of kitchenware (see pg 3).

In April we co-hosted a great event featuring celebrated author, cook, dietician (and mother of four), Rose Reis-man. The event sold out quickly and all those in atten-dance were treated to an eve-

Did you know…. ….About 96% of consumers partake in some sort of Mother’s Day celebrations. ….Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries worldwide...but not always on the same day that it is celebrated in North America. ...The ancient Greeks celebrated Mother’s Day in the spring, honouring Rhea, the mother of the gods. ….During the 1600s, the English celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday”. ...Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with introducing the official observance of Mother’s Day to North America. When her mother died, she wanted all mothers to be remembered and asked that white carnations be the symbol for mothers everywhere. ….In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed orders making Mother’s Day a national Holiday. ….Retailers report that Mother’s Day is the second highest gift-giving holiday in the country (Christmas is the highest). …The most popular month for having babies in the United States is August; the most popular day of the week is Tuesday. ...Mother’s Day is widely reported as the peak day of the year for long distance telephone calls. ...George Washington once said, “My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.

Taking a 200-year-old tip from the French for storing butter, the B.I.A. butter crock keeps soft butter on the counter for several weeks. Simply fill the base with 1/4 cup cold water, pack a stick of softened butter into the lid (which dou-bles as a serving dish) and invert into the base. The water creates a seal to keep butter fresh. Change water every 2-3 days.

Brand new — Cuisipro introduces commercial quality tongs

Cuisipro is proud to introduce commercial-quality stainless steel locking tongs with coloured silicone ends. The sturdy tongs feature the easy-to-use push-and-pull locking mechanism but have been made even better by adding coloured silicone on the grabbing portion of the tongs.

Cuisipro tongs combine the advantages of metal and silicone to make tongs that offer the strength of commercial-quality stainless steel and the con-venience of a push-and-pull locking mechanism with the non-stick, high heat-resistance properties of silicone. Available in black, red, blue & yellow tips.

Cuisipro Silicone Tongs Available in three sizes: $12.99, $14.99 and $16.99

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH — JAMIE OLIVER KITCHENWARE

Page 3

VOLUME 2, ISSUE 5

Jamie Oliver is a fresh face in the culinary world, known for his best-selling cookbooks and his regular appearance on television in Canada, the US and England. He says his goal is to make cooking at home fun and easy for everyone, and it is for that reason he’s introduced a line of kitchenware that is now available in Canada.

Like Jamie himself, his product line is fun and practical. Consider his “Girls Cook Better” or “I’m Cooking, You’re Washing Up” reversible aprons, which are practical and fun.

Other products in the line include a portable cooking burner (no doubt a result of his recent travelling adventures through Italy in his camper van), a mezzaluna and board set, a pepper grinder pump and a pasta machine (Jamie is pas-sionate about pasta).

Many believe that Jamie has single-handedly made a granite mortar and pestle set a require-ment of modern cooking, so it is no wonder that he has created his own mortar and pestle with his name on it.

According to Jamie, “you don’t have to go crazy buying equipment, all you need to cook well is a good set of pots and pans, a couple of good knives, including an eight-inch chopper, a heavy mortar and pestle, a set of tongs and a speed peeler.”

You can enjoy all of Jamie’s products, now avail-able at FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE TABLE.

Recently crowned the sexiest chef alive by People Magazine, you can catch Jamie’s Great Italian Escape, Jamie’s Kitchen and The Naked Chef on Food Network television.
