Piper and Kennedy are the cooks in Colbrook Kitchen. Both lawyers and former high-tech executives, and have been married for over 25 years, but their passion always has been cooking and entertaining.

Constantly looking for ways to do things better in the home kitchen, without sacrificing the quality of the results. They’ve traveled the world and, unlike many travelers, always make it a point to checkout the local cookware stores. And we love cooking tools that combine great design and outstanding functionality. We’ve bought and either loved or discarded more cook’s tools than you can imagine — we’ve done all this investigation and experimentation so that you don’t have to. We hope you agree.

They started this business to discover and bring to you what we think are the best tools for your kitchen. We will identify and recommend tools that enable the home chef to do even the simplest tasks easier and well. Along the way, we will share recipes using the tools we recommend. We will sell only the products that we personally use and recommend. We believe that each product that we sell is well designed, solves a problem, functions well, and is worth both the money and the space in your kitchen. Our motto is: if we don’t use it, then we won’t sell it!

Come share their enthusiasm for cooking and for the ‘Cool Tools’ they recommend for you. Tell us about your favorite tools, the tools you want, or want to replace, and they’ll try to help. Visit Cookbrook Kitchen.com

Heading for the Napa Valley in 45 days, to run the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon, visit some clients, try to score a few new ones and drink some amazing wines. Funny part is I have had this trip lined up for about 6 months now and have been booking dates with wineries 2 to 3 months out. Sad part is I have done very little to book any work …. hmm. It make me wonder where my priorities are.

Not only that, but it gives us a opportunity to blog about things that are going on around the office, with our clients, in the industry and even fun stuff such as travels, wine, etc. I hope this gives people a chance to learn who we really are. The jury is still out if this is a good idea or a bad idea
