Bien Cuit Bread!

mkale — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:10:55 +0000

We’ve overhauled our bread section with an all new selection from

Bien Cuit in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn!

They slow ferment their dough (sometimes as long as 68 hours) so

that their bread has rich, poppin’ in your mouth flavors and perfect, fresh out of the oven texture.

Here’s our everyday selection:

Baguette

Dark Walnut Loaf

Broa de Milho: corn & wheat loaf

Campagne: sourdough

Pain de Mie: sandwich loaf

Pain au Lait: soft roll

Pugliese Bun: potato roll

Raisin Walnut Roll

And some weekend specials:

Poppy Pear Loaf

Pain au Raisin Brioche

Apple Cardamom Danish

Croissant

Chocolate Croissant

Stop by The Brooklyn Kitchen and check ‘em out!

Also, you might have noticed Bien Cuit’s baguette on the cover

of this month’s Bon Appetit… it’s like the Kate Upton of bread!

Twenty Dollar, Twenty Minute Meals!

mkale — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:15:36 +0000

Our good pal, Caroline Wright will be in

our classroom kitchen this Sunday at 3pm.

She’ll demo recipes from her new book,

Twenty Dollar, Twenty Minute Meals.

She’ll show you how to get real food on the

table quick. This isn’t a list of weird shortcuts.

(You can chuck that right in your “garbage bowl”.)

This is real cooking for people who really

love food.

Sign up here.

Of course, it’s only $20.

… and that includes a signed copy of her book

Wild Salmon CSA!

mkale — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:17:48 +0000

We’re silly excited to be working with Iliamna Fish Co. on a

Wild Red Salmon CSA.

Iliamna fishes off the coast of Bristol Bay, Alaska in a MSC-certified,
Monteray Bay Aquarium recommended wild sockeye salmon fishery. That means this stuff is good
for the environment and tastes great.

Here’s how it works: You purchase a 12 lb. share for $198. (50% deposit when you sign up, 50% due at pick-up.) Then you drop by The Brooklyn Kitchen on pick-up day and we’ll hook you up
with your flash frozen fish portioned into 1.85 lb. fillets.

Keep ‘em in your freezer and thaw them out as needed.
Poach it, saute it, or grill it on a cedar plank.

Sign up for your share here!

Hurom Slow Juicer

mkale — Fri, 10 May 2013 20:24:22 +0000

We love this juicer! The Hurom Slow Juicer is a juice extractor that uses the patented Low Speed Technology System (LSTS). It is called a “Slow Juicer” because it operates at only 80 RPM and uses a mere 150 Watts of energy, instead of 1,000-24,000 RPM and up to 1,500 Watts of energy like a typical centrifugal “High Speed” juicer. But don’t let the name fool you. The Slow Juicer actually juices faster than most typical juicers and expels much drier pulp with a much higher yield.

Happy National Homebrew Day!!!

Knife Sharpening

mkale — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:38:12 +0000

We do it. We do it in house. Right here at the store.

So, if you have a dull knife that’s keeping you from trying

that cool new recipe, bring it in to us.

Here’s how it works:

Our guy comes in twice a week.

Drop off your knife anytime we’re open.

(Mon-Sat 10-8, Sun 12-6)

We’ll check it out and give you a ballpark estimate of

how much it will cost.

You come back and pick it up the following

Saturday or Tuesday.

(Whichever comes first.)

How much will it cost you?

Well, that’s up to our knife dude.

It depends how much time it takes him to get it just right.

For an 8″ chef’s knife in pretty good shape:

(that’s probably what you have, btw)

It’s gonna run you around $5.

Shorter knives are less expensive.

Longer knives cost a bit more.

Serrated knives will up the cost a tad.

Dings, chips & broken tips cost a little extra.

Have a seriously precious, insanely cool, Hattori Hanzo level knife?

Our guy will sharpen it for you on a whetstone.

If you’re into that kind of thing,

it’ll start at $20.

Don’t be dull.

Stay Sharp, Bitches.
