Recipe of the Month
 Quick-Braised Asparagus with a Dijon, White Wine, and Fresh Thyme Pan Sauce courtesy of Susie Middleton's new cookbook
"Fast, Fresh & Green." (Jessica had the honor of recipe testing all of recipes and the photos are
shot by renowned food photographer, Ben Fink!)"...I won't fool you; these asparagus look a
bit rustic. But the
browning in this recipe pays off with deep flavor... The glazy
pan sauce cloaks
the asparagus in even more flavor, and this is one tasty dish. It's a
quick
one, too-easy to do in less than 30 minutes. Serve it with pork
tenderloin and
couscous on a weeknight or sear-roasted pork loin and a grain pilaf on a
weekend..." Go to the recipe...

Wusthof's KNIFE-of-the-MONTH
Wusthof's May special knife deal is their 7-inch Fish Fillet Knife with Sheath.  For filleting fish or de-boning poultry, this Wusthof fillet knife has
the added bonus of a leather sheath. The thin, flexible blade is
designed to cut in and around bones and cartilage, leaving just the
pieces you want for preparing your meal. Wusthof Classic Black knives
are hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen. The
high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp
edge, and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact
composition handles.Regularly $99.99 NOW only $89.99 Also available in Wusthof's Ikon series Regularly $129, NOW only $119
New from Shun: Premier & Pro SHUN PREMIERCalling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, Shun Premier possesses the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made of VG10 steel, clad with 16 layers on both sides with stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and increased precision. Where the steels meet, a wavy line called a hamon is formed - similar to the line formed when samurai swords are tempered using a clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish ("Tsuchime" in Japanese) acts as a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade. The walnut Pakkawood handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom adds balance and beauty to the knife, whether in the hand or at rest in the block.  SHUN PROFor the Japanese aficionado, nothing compares to to scalpel-like
precision of a single bevel blade. The newly updated Shun Pro line features the same incredibly sharp chisel edges as in the past, combined with D-shaped Pakkawood handles, which lend a secure and comfortable grip. The beautiful graffiti-etched blade is made with high-carbon VG10 steel, which takes and holds an edge longer than comparable knives. The wide Shinogi (or blade bevel) makes sharpening on a whetstone effortless. |
