This month we’d like to formally introduce you to a product line we’ve carried for a few years, and have found to be worthy of recognition. Prepara is an North American company creating tools for the domestic cook.
They bring to the table a masterful mix of product design, inventive utility and useful possibilities. Each item is designed to bring out the very best in the home chef. Prepara products are made for entertaining and performance.
Bring on the roasting, basting, mashing, carving and seasoning. Our Prepara kitchen toys make many of the season’s kitchen tasks a bit brighter.
Just in time for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season, for the month of October, we’re offering great deals on select Global knives, including a two piece carving set. Get a head start on your Christmas shopping or outfit your kitchen so you’ll be ready to host the next family holiday!

Did you know?
Pumpkins are grown on six out of seven continents. Antarctica is the only continent on which pumpkins cannot grow.
The world’s largest pumpkin pie was made in 2010 in New Bremen, Ohio as part of the town’s annual Pumpkinfest. The pie contained 1212 pounds of canned pumpkin and measured 20 feet in diameter!
The first Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated in Newfoundland in 1578 by an expedition party to give thanks for their survival of an unsuccessful search for the Northwest Passage.
In 2010, Canadians purchased 3.1 million whole turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday (about 1 turkey for every 10 people), and consumed 145.5 million kilograms of turkey over the course of the year.

Roasting Laurel
Heat resistant up to 500 F, the silicone roasting laurel keeps your roast up and out of unhealthy fats and promotes more even browning. Its bendable shape allows you to use the roasting laurel in most any dish, oval or rectangular, for pot roasts, poultry or fish, to prevent sticking or to corral vegetables.

Global Knife Specials!
No kitchen is complete without a good knife!
We are often asked by customers, what is the one essential item that every kitchen should have. Without a doubt, a reliable knife is at the top of our list.
Designed and made in Japan, Global knives are engineered for everyday use in professional and home kitchens alike. Just like ancient Japanese Samurai swords, every Global knife is carefully weighted and balanced to ensure perfect ergonomics and maximum ease of use. Global knives are made with high quality CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, that is ice tempered and hardened, to hold a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel, and which is resistant to rust, stains and corrosion.
To help you get off to a great start on this year’s holiday shopping, we’re offering up to 25% off on select Global knives for the month of October!
Knife Care Tips
Do not store knives loose in a drawer!
The best way to store knives is in a wooden block or in individual sheaths.
Wash your knives with warm soapy water after every use, and dry completely with a clean cloth to prevent rusting.
Avoid hard cutting surfaces that will damage the edge of your blade. Opt instead for softer surfaces like wood or bamboo.
Hone your knife regularly with a knife steel (not to be confused with sharpening). Honing helps to maintain a sharp edge by correcting slight bends to the sharp edge of the blade that occur in everyday use, and can cause the blade to seem less sharp.
Michele’s Butternut Squash Soup
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
2 medium potatoes, cubed
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 (32 fluid oz.) container chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Melt the butter in a large pot, and cook the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour in enough of the chicken stock to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender. With an food processor, immersion or upright blender, blend until smooth. Return to pot, and mix in any remaining stock to attain desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
