As we are hearing from the latest research (summed up nicely here) it is high time that you shun your smartphone for a while, do away with interacting
on virtual media spaces, and get down to the real things in life. It may even be time to meet some neighbors. So, this newsletter is a recipe for an exceptional and memorable cocktail party!
Ingredients and Rules
- 8 or more guests – the party will take on a life of its own at 8 people
- At least 2 hours in length
- No phones – tell guests in advance that this is an in-person occasion away from tech.
- Cocktails served in glasses – ice tinkling is delightful!
- Diverse music – see suggested playlist below
- Subtle decorations – e.g. mason jars of picked flowers
- Hors d'oeuvres
We recommend pairing a signature cocktail, such as a Rhubarb Collins, with a dish, such as Paella to start — sweet, sour, salty, smoky, and a little spicy.

Our Falk Classic oval gratin pan is perfect for making paella because it’s wide, round, shallow, has splayed sides and has two looped handles. The shape of the pan helps to ensure that the rice cooks in a thin layer. The key is to maximize the amount of rice touching the bottom of the pan because, as you’ll taste for yourself, that’s where the flavor is! In Spain, they have an annual paella competition in many villages which brings people together, and sometimes separates them ;)
Try your hand at this traditional Spanish paella (recipe in link).
If you can make a playlist that will have your guests spontaneously dancing, you have the right playlist!
Here’s a good one to jam to on Spotify. Party on! And, as always, let us know how you are enjoying your Falk copper pans. We look forward to connecting with you and fostering the copper pan community. Please feel free to share your thoughts and recipes on our blog or on social media.
With best regards,

Happy Mother's Day!
“My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel.” - Jodi Picoult
Here’s to all the Mothers and strong women in the world. Happy Mother’s Day!
Hello Fellow Gastronomes, Mike and I want to thank you for supporting us during the launch of www.copperpans.com. We are fully stocked now, so we are having a Mother's Day sale! All of the gratin panswill be 20% off from April 17 to May 12, 2019.
These beautiful pans, with their double handles and low curved sides, are easy to move gracefully around the kitchen and from broiler to table. You can also check out our gratin video to see it in action
As we reminisced about all the significant women who came before us, I thought of my maternal Italian grandmother, Christine, born at the turn of the century in Salerno. She did not speak a word of English; however, she got her message through quite well. I am sure she was always telling me to “eat!” We cannot replicate her pizza dough recipe—not for lack of trying! —but I do have her recipe for “gagootz.” 
Traditionally the dish made with the cucuzza squash, which is a long, hanging squash similar to zucchini. The Italian-American version uses sautéed zucchini squash, Hungarian peppers and potatoes simmered in crushed tomatoes. I use our saucier pan to fuse the flavors. This Mediterranean dish is simple, satisfying and healthy. Enjoy!
We look forward to connecting with you and fostering the copper pan community. Please feel free to share your thoughts and recipes on our blog or on social media.
