“Simply by starting to cook again, you declare your independence from the culture of fast food. As soon as you cook, you start thinking about ingredients. You start thinking about plants and animals and not the microwave. And you will find that your diet, just by that one simple act, that is greatly improved.”

– Michael Pollan

We love hearing baking stories from the many amateur and professional bakers that frequent our shop. It must be a surreal experience to find yourself in the kitchen at Buckingham Palace - what a story Claire and her business will have to tell! Repost from @violetcakeslondon #royalwedding #british #bake #lemon #elderflower #swissmeranguebuttercream #cooking #bake #love #goods45

Saturday’s Royal Wedding will feature two of Meghan Markel’s favorites; peonies in her bouquet (maybe she should visit Bloomington this time of year) and elderflower and lemon flavors in the couple’s wedding cake made by @violetcakeslondon. If you want to get in the spirit of things, we’ve got you covered @goodsforcooks. WIN a bottle of Elderflower cordial for the big day - to enter: tag a friend who loves the Royals, like our Facebook page, and follow our blog -link in bio. Local residents only - winner will be chosen at random and announced via this post, contest ends Friday, May 18th 2pm - no purchase necessary. Good luck! #goods45 #royal #elderflower #peonies #wedding #bake #british #cooking #shoplocal #love #bloomington

Our Mothers are often our first connection to food and nourishment. What are your food memories with your mother? . #goods45 #bloomington #mothersday #mom #cooking #food #love #family #nourishment #shoplocal #pie #tart #cake #bake

To be a mother is to have a sense of humor. And maybe a cocktail or two. . #mothersday #goods45 #gift #shoplocal #humor #wine #towel #bloomington

Treat yourself to the ritual of slow coffee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Espresso cup @bloomingvilleus coffee maker @bialettiusa @goodsforcooks #goods45 #coffee #slowcoffee #bloomington #cooking #shoplocal #espresso #goodsforcooks

Go natural with soft colors, textures, and materials. We are obsessed with the softness of KAF Home 100% cotton napkins. Add texture and depth to your table with Now Designs natural woven placemats. Studio Formata trays are a work of art with their marbled designs laid over NSF certified wood veneer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @goodsforcooks @nowdesigns @studioformata @kafhome #goods45 #texture #naturalhome #natural #design #bloomington #shoplocal #cooking #gather #entertain #cotton #textiles @bloomingtonbrickandmortar

Functional art is the name of the game with @bodum's Pebo electric siphon coffee maker. A reintroduction of what started it all for Bodum, you (and your guests) will be mesmerized by this machine. The method of siphoning allows the natural oils to be imparted into the brew resulting in a superb cup of coffee. Bodum's Burr grinder makes a nice pairing. The beauty of great coffee could also be the perfect gift this #mothersday - hint! Hint!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ photo: Bodum #coffee #give #shoplocal #siphon #slowcoffee #goods45 #cooking #bloomington #burrgrinder #coffeebean #bodum #art #coffeeart @goodsforcooks @bloomingtonbrickandmortar

If you are looking for a unique gift, these @nawrap Japanese towels are divine. Made from cotton blended with binchotan charcoal, they are naturally anti-odor and dry quickly. There are no dyes or chemicals used in the manufacturing of this towel and the multi-layer weave creates superior wicking ability and unmatched softness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ photo: ipinka #nawrap #goods45 #bloomington #mothersday #weddinggift #home #natural #Japan #familybusiness #shoplocal @goodsforcooks @bloomingtonbrickandmortar

Good for the earth doesn’t have to mean boring. We had our favorite local candle maker @greyharp_candles fill some beautiful bowls with her new summer scents! Lemon curd will get you thinking about tarts now and the @now_designs bowl can be reused later. Reduce your plastic footprint with a @corkcicle canteen and protect your surfaces with @studioformata’s almost too pretty to use coasters made for NSF certified wood veneer. . #goods45 #shoplocal #mothersday #gift #give #green #earth #environment #dogood #bloomington #livewell #cooking #brickandmortar

Avocado toast for the breakfast win! Or lunch, or dinner. . . pictured with the Wusthof 8" Classic Cook's knife - a true kitchen workhorse!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ photo: @wusthof #goods45 #cooking #bloomington #shoplocal @goodsforcooks #eat #egg #avocado
