Butter Braised Chicken
In his recent class at In Good Taste, Gabriel showed us how to cook the most tender and moist chicken imaginable - all on the stove top. He first browned the chicken in the pan and then he added butter to the pan. As the chicken cooked, he spooned generous amounts of the melted butter - quickly - over the chicken making it truly delicious and moist.

10th Anniversary 
It's hard to believe but next month we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary. What a fabulous ten years it has been as we've watched the food scene in Portland grow and mature. We've enjoyed every minute of it and have especially loved the time that we've spent with everyone in our classes and our store. Stay tuned for the activities next month as we roll out the red carpet to celebrate you --
and our culinary stars.
The month kicks off with some great visiting culinary artists who will help us celebrate the anniversary. Throughout the month we'll host some wonderful chefs and feature new items in the
store. Every day we'll offer some item or items at a very special price to continue our celebration. The month long activities will culminate in a cooking school open house on Saturday April 26.
Check out our web site for more details as they become available. We'll also
publish specials in our weekly email. Sign up to get the weekly email today so you won't miss anything. The sign up box is on the left. If you already subscribe to our monthly email, just update the weekly email to your profile. |

What's New? 
Our latest salt find is this delicious soy salt from Japan. It's great on seafood and any dishes that need more umami. We've packaged it for you in this convenient glass jar.
We also have an amazing collection of peppers just in from all parts of the world, including ashanti pepper and kili pepper. Come and see our new spices today!
We also have a new selection of linens for the spring, featuring fresh designs to brighten up your kitchen. | |
 Staff Update
Pam is doing really well and way ahead of schedule on her recovery. She has been in to work for a few hours at a time on a couple of days recently. We are so glad to have her back. She's ditched her wheelchair in favour of a cane and we can see her progress every day.
 Josie has a smaller cast on her arm now but she still doesn't have full use if it so she finds writing and typing a chore. That's pretty tough for a cook and a marketing person! She will start coming back to work soon and we can't wait to have her back!
 More news.... James will graduate from college this May.
Congratulations to him!
