The Clam That Didn’t Get Away..

by Lynn October 11, 2011

Linguine with clams is one of my favorite dinners. But, I only enjoyed it at restaurants. I’ve always been a bit leery of actually dealing with the clams on my own. Now, I’m happy to say frequently prepare my favorite linguini with clams recipe at home. The clams aren’t difficult to handle at all. The [...]

It wouldn’t be Christmas unless I’m eating…Squirrel Brunswick Stew? Cristollen?

by Bobby December 22, 2010

We are a rather varied group at MetroKitchen. Ranging from all American mid-westerners to native Atlantans to 1st generation Cuban-Americans. We even have a naturalized US citizen born in Haiti, a 2nd generation of Polish descent and a New Orleans transplant. As you might imagine, we have interesting discussions about our Christmas traditions, especially food. [...]

Baking for the Holidays

by Lynn December 13, 2010

Holidays make me feel like a Keebler Elf. I just love to bake and love baking with quality bakeware. I really like to watch people enjoy my cookies, especially at Christmas. And, as a side bonus, when I bake cookies, I never eat them. Great way to control calories during the eating season! I eat [...]

MetroKitchen Celebrates the Holidays with Turducken

by Lynn November 26, 2010

At MetroKitchen, we decided to celebrate a bit early this year. Our 2011 holiday party was the result of a Turducken. Last week we had a few customers call us about roasting pans. That led us to a discussion about turduckens, which led to the party. Few had experienced this New Orleans delight, so it [...]

Staub Cast Iron Helps Overcome Roux Fears

by Lynn May 14, 2009

Roux has forever intimidated me. I always burn it then have to resort to the instant roux. But, for a recent New Orleans-themed celebration, I decided it was time to go for the real stuff. Great news! Roux is not that difficult. No reason to be intimidated. It takes some time…but not as much as [...]

Viking Stand Mixer Review: A Weekend of Baking

by Lynn December 15, 2008

I’ve been wanting to use my new Viking 7 quart stand mixer and its many attachments for a few weeks. Finally, I was able to try it out vs. my old stand-by KitchenAid mixer. In short, I LOVE the Viking stand mixer! It made a great batch of “Chippies,” a family favorite for three generations.

New All-Clad Karahi Pan

by Laura F. October 20, 2008

Tying on an apron, turning up my music, and spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking – that’s my idea of a relaxing evening. But after work, I’m hungry, so I like to make dishes that don’t take too long and that don’t require a lot of clean up. My ideal meal can be [...]

Fast Chili in an All-Clad Slow Cooker

by Lynn October 25, 2007

I had to create this chili fast so I could support my beloved Red Sox. I did it, thanks to my Scanpan Classic 12 inch fry pan and the All-Clad slow cooker and this delicious fast chili recipe. The Red Sox did too!! Here’s the story: I am the proud owner of a significant amount of antelope [...]

Happy Blending with the Viking Hand Blender

by Danielle October 10, 2007

I was recently passed the “torch” to try out in my own kitchen. What is the “torch” you ask? Well it’s the new Viking Hand Blender, of course! It actually does resemble Miss Liberty’s “torch”, and it also gives new meaning to the word “freedom” in the kitchen, just as the “torch” exemplifies freedom [...]

Cooking with the Viking 13 inch Fry Pan

by Danielle September 28, 2007

Fall is here.For some that means its football season, for others it’s a signal to kick start holiday shopping, but for me it means less grilling and more indoor cooking!I’m so excited to start “cooking” all those feel-good, comfort meals again, and my family is ready to move on from turkey burgers, hot dogs and [...]
