Happy Birthday to Us !

Happy Birthday to Us !

Cooks Shop Here
has turned 35 !

And we are giddy with delight

Much has happened in the world of food these past 35 years. As a nation we have cooked and eaten our way into the present, learning much along the way. Those of us who are fascinated with food and cooking think differently now about food and food issues than when our business began in 1974.

Look for Our New Tea Book in March, 2010

We are thrilled to announce the forthcoming publication of our new tea book: The Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook: A Guide to the World’s Best Teas.  Our new book is a companion book to our James Beard Award nominated tea ‘bible’ The Story of Tea:
A Cultural History and Drinking Guide,
and it is also being published by Ten Speed Press, Berkeley, CA.

The Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook is small in size but mighty in content. It covers topics that we left untouched in our previous book ( such as steeping, storage and aging tea ) so each book compliments the other quite nicely information-wise.

Look for The Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook to arrive in bookstores towards the end of March. Many bookstores are stocking fewer titles than they did in the past – if you wish to support your local bookstore, please be sure to let them know that you are interested in purchasing a copy.  At a modest price of $16.95, we hope that our book will be on every bookstore’s  ‘must have’  list for spring.

 

New Oolong Teas

 

Seasonal Flavored Teas

In the spirit of seasonal merry-making, we are introducing a new flavored tea for each of the four seasons. Our seasonal teas are hand-blended by us from our own recipes, and consist of a black tea base to which we add natural flavors, spices, fruits and flowers.

Bonfire is our aromatic blend that is perfect for the crisp, golden days of Fall, while  Sleighride is for dreaming on a snowy Winter day.. Our Spring and Summer teas are in the works and will follow suit as their seasons approach.. 

 

New for Fall:

Bonfire® Tea

Created to remember Guy Fawkes and to celebrate the spirit of Bonfire Night (November 5th) in England.
Guy Fawkes was an Englishman and co-conspirator in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 in which he and his cohorts planned to blow up both houses of Parliament in London and kill King James I. The plot was foiled, Fawkes was captured and  taken in chains to the Tower of London where he was hanged, drawn and quartered. Today, Bonfire festivities throughout England celebrate the yearly opening of the new session of Parliament and Guy Fawkes is burned in effigy in bonfires throughout England on November 5th.

New for Winter:

Sleighride® Tea

An enticing and aromatic combination of green cardamom, sweet cinnamon, cloves, coriander, pink peppercorns and forest fruits. Sleighride captures the spirit of the winter season and is perfect for sipping before a cozy fire or when dashing through the snow.
