{"product_id":"the-first-kitchen","title":"The First Kitchen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first dinner in a new kitchen is never the best one. Half the boxes are still taped shut, the pot is too small, and nobody can find the salt. It's still the one you'll tell your kids about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe First Kitchen is for that night — and for all the ordinary Tuesdays that follow it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe filled it with the pieces that earn their place by the stove: an olive wood spatula, slotted spoon and corner spoon that only get better with every pot you stir, a little olive wood dish for the salt, and a corkscrew and bottle opener for the first bottle you open in the new place. (Between those two and the brass skeleton key, there's no bottle in the house you can't open.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we added the part that matters most: recipe cards designed by bestselling artist Korie Herold, for the dishes that already belong to your families. Mama's gumbo. Grandma's pound cake. The Monday red beans nobody has ever measured. Write them down while you can still call and ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all arrives inside The EVR Box, our linen keepsake box, with lace cut from thousand-year paper and your initials and year set at the heart of the lid. The spoons are for using. The box is for keeping. When the spoons find their drawer, the recipe cards move into the box — along with the cork from that first bottle, and whatever else your kitchen decides is worth saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside The First Kitchen:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe EVR Box\u003c\/strong\u003e — linen, with lace scrollwork cut from hanji and your initials and year set by hand at the heart of the lid.
