4/7 April Events in Chapel Hill – Today We’re…

…Shopping at Kitchenworks in Chapel Hill!

Are you still full from Tres Amigos?!

It still amazes me that in our small little town Chapel Hill we have a place like Kitchenworks. There’s no place like it anywhere else. They sell kitchen supplies – cookware, kitchen art, dishes, knives, all kinds of fun things for the kitchen – although I must confess that I have their stuff all over my house.

Martha Jenkins is the owner, and she and her staff provide content, quality, service, and a great selection of items you need (yes, you do NEED) for your kitchen. Forget the word excellent – the staff at Kitchenworks are a top notch example of Southern customer service. They are just lovely people, and if you have questions – Martha knows her stuff. We’ve even had conversations about the original Cuisinarts – back when they were made by Robot Coupe.

When you buy a present, you buy a treat and Kitchenworks is the place to get that treat. Sometimes I give a gift certificate to clients when they close on a home, and for first time buyers – well, what better place to send them to stock the first kitchen they can call their own. The same gift goes to my husband’s staff at Duke; a few years back we gave Kitchenworks for the holidays, and it was the best gift we ever gave. We’ve done it every year since.

But the wedding gifts are the best. I actually buy gifts before I need them and store them at my house. When I need to send a gift to a bride, I take the gift back to Kitchenworks for wrapping – and shipping if need be.

The best things I’ve ever bought there are knives. Martha scours for deals on knives, and passes the savings on to her customers. And a lot of times, that customer is me! I’ve bought so many knives I had to hide them from my husband. I have eight inch chef knives, 6 inch chef knives, several different sizes of paring knives. I keep them in stock at my house for wedding gifts. (See above…)

You don’t have to love cooking to love Kitchenworks. For a great Wednesday afternoon treat – head on over and browse through the bright, colorful wares that are a delight to see – and to buy.

Happy April!

PS Make sure you get one of their Zyliss Silicone Turners. It withstands super high temperatures, and is indispensable lifting stuff out of your skillet. Mine is red.
