KNIFE SHARPENING

    We teach people how to keep their knives sharp every day (watch this demo), and we have an overnight sharpening service for when they've gotten just too dull. Also: blade repairs and re-shaping.

Did you miss out on our cheese event last week? Want to cook up one of the tasty snacks we made? (OK, by "we" I mean KitchenArts and Boston Cheese Cellar employee Ben...) Click through to Ben's blog for the full recipe.

Stuff I want to make: Gougeres

I really want to make Gougeres, which are little cheese puffs made from choux dough. A lot of people think choux dough is really difficult - but really it's just a bit of work. There's a lot of stirring, and if you've ever tried to work fresh eggs into dough, you know it's like trying to convince your grandmother you couldn't possibly eat any more buscuits and ham or matzoh ball soup (depending on the grandmother), you need to be persistent and unwavering. Other than that its just about watching it while it's on the heat and making sure it doesn't over cook. Watching and stirring... not too bad.

GREETINGS

    Hi. I'm Owen Mack. My father opened KitchenArts in 1980, the offshoot of an importing business his father started in 1930; you could say I've got kitchenware in my blood.

    KitchenArts is a hardware store for cooks--a shop that is serious about carrying items that get the job done. We're not into trendy colors, trendy designs, or kitchen fads. We don't carry tea cozies, we don't carry tablecloths.

    We do carry 248 different kitchen knives, 312 different pots & pans, 7 types of mandoline, 5 zesters, and 1 egg pricker.

    Have a question? Ask us...many publications do. You've seen us in Cook's Illustrated, Cooking Light, Elle Decor, The Boston Globe, and the New York Times. Boston Magazine has named us "Best of Boston" so many times we're in the Hall of Fame. We've got an opinion on most anything kitchen-related, and we'd like to share our expertise with you.
