Witches' Kitchen



An Artecnica Design with Conscience™ project, Witches’ Kitchen™ is a handcrafted kitchenware collection inspired by the witches and wizards of western lore. The extensive collection is a collaborative exercise in sustainable design. Designed by Studio Tord Boontje and handcrafted by artisan groups from three different South American countries, Witches’ Kitchen features black ceramic cookware hand-molded by Colombian artisans, wooden kitchen utensils handcarved by Guatemalan craftsmen, and kitchen couture hand-sewn by Brazil’s Coopa-Roca women’s cooperative.

LOVE this line... thanks for finding it & adding yet another thing to my lust list!

Yeah, I want it.
I'd even use it for cereal. I dig the creepy utensils too.

The idea of beef stew cooked in a cauldron - pretty neat.

You know, the perfect thing to cook in that cauldron is Greek Stifado. Beef stew meat, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, and red wine. Perfect in fall.

Feel free to substitute long pig.

Happy to report that I am a huge fan of Greek cuisine and have had that dish. And you're absolutely right. : )

lovely utensils (I hesitate to call them that as they are such gorgeous works of art) but the prices are well, a bit extreme! I wonder if the native people who created them are getting a big chunk of that money. If so, it's a wonderful endeavor. If not, hmmmm...
