And that, as they say, is that. The past 4 weeks have been very emotional for us. Our heartfelt thanks go out to each of you for your friendship and trust over the years. Now we have one favor to ask: Please continue to make a priority of supporting independent local businesses. Small independent stores, restaurants, service providers, craftspeople, etc. contribute to our local community in countless ways. Read this interesting article on the subject. And always remember: Real cooking is more about following your heart than following recipes!

Our friends at  Boston Stoker Coffee Company  have graciously extended this offer to our customers. Use the offer code “CW2018” to get free shipping through October 31. And if you find yourself in Dayton, stop in at one of their stores and say hi! Tell them Cooks’Wares sent you. 😉
