"We are market leader in Belgium with a waffle maker designed in 1958. Our waffle maker has the unique feature of having eight different plates that can make different waffle shapes. The device bakes at higher temperature and is Made In Belgium. With this in mind, we consider to have strong argu- ments to penetrate a segment called Belgian waffle maker in North America." He continued: "The reactions we had from buyers were always enthusiastic and the main point of discussion was to know why it did not cross the ocean before." In addition to the American style waffles, Croquade is bringing many innovations with its shapes. For example, Croquade (Cont'd. from p. 1) the waffle maker is equipped to bake the famous Liège waffle, which is consid- ered by many Belgians to be the best waffle in the world. The secret lies in the pearl sugar that melts during the cooking process and caramelizes into this thick waffle. "We perform waffle demos in Belgium and somehow, people are expecting the taste so they come back to us saying … excellent waffle. Here in North America, this is totally unexpected from the consumer and we can see some magic in their eyes. This is an amazing feeling for us." 2015 might be the year of Croquade, with not only the introduction of its deep fryer, steamer cooker and the chocolate product line, but also with an expansion of distribution.

TRUDEAU ADDS TO LAGUIOLE LINE By Lorrie Baumann Trudeau is updating the Laguiole collec- tion of knives introduced at last year's International Home + Housewares Show with new additions to the line that will allow home cooks to create a coherent cutlery story in their kitchens and dining rooms. The Laguiole knives are Trudeau's homage to the cutlers from a French vil- lage where Casimir-Antoine Moulin started making cutlery in 1829. The tradi- tion flourished in France until it died out in World War I. It was revived locally in 1987. The Trudeau cutlery borrows sig- nature elements of the Laguiole tradition, including the distinctively shaped han- dles embellished with a stamped bee design, for knives that are made in China and finished and assembled by hand. Pocket knives were an important part of the Laguiole tradition, and early Laguiole pocket knives with handles made from Aubrac cow horn or bone were used by the local farmers and shep- herds. The Trudeau knives bow to that tradition this year with a pair of pocket knives that include corkscrews. The Laguile Deluxe XL corkscrew is made of stainless steel and pakka wood and comes packaged in a gift box, as do all of the Trudeau Laguiole knives. The Laguiole Water's corkscrew is made of stainless steel and red stablewood and even comes with a leather case. The corkscrews are grooved to reduce fric- tion for easier cork extraction. Trudeau introduced the Laguiole steak knives last year. This year, there's a choice of three handles: black horn, rose- wood or pakka wood on knives hat fea- ture thick gauge full-tang stainless steel serrated blades with hand stamped detail- ing on the handles, including the Laguiole bee. They retail for $99.99 for a set of six knives packaged in gift boxes. Carving sets come with the same three handle choices. The three piece sets include a 6.25-inch carving fork, a 7-inch carving knife and a 7.25-inch knife sharpener. These sets also retail for $99.99 and are packaged in gift boxes. New this year, Laguiole-style prep knife sets include a 7-inch Santoku knife, a 5-inch utility knife and a 3-inch paring knife with each of the three handle mate- rials. The prep knife sets retail for $99.99 and also come packaged in gift boxes. Finally, Trudeau is offering a new set of Laguiole cheese knives for soft cheeses. With thick gauge, full tang stain- less steel blades and hand-stamped detailing on the handles, these knives function as both knives and spreaders. They are currently available only with pakka wood handles. A gift-boxed set of four retails for $39.99. EASYPULL FOOD PROCESSOR FROM ZYLISS Using the latest technology, the EasyPull manual food processor from Zyliss can chop small and large quantities of food with just a pull of a cord. Chop carrots for a hearty soup, small shallots for a health vinaigrette or combine tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapeños together for a speedy salsa. Vary the number of pulls of the cord for coarse, medium or fine results. The Swiss-designed patented blade technol- ogy has two independ- ently operating blades to cut through even the toughest of foods. A booster arm on the base gathers food for even chop- ping. The EasyPull has a 25.3-ounce bowl capacity and a non-slip base. Suggested Retail Price is $29.99. For more information, call 949.699.1884 or go to www.zyliss.com.
