Kitchen Affairs is a complete gourmet kitchen shop. We focus on high-end merchandise and customer service. We offer cookware, bakeware, cutlery, gadgets, storage items, small appliances, gift and serving pieces, coffees, teas, spices, and carefully chosen food items. We offer a wide selection of nonprofessional cooking classes, taught by cookbook authors, chefs, and professional teachers, in various techniques, cuisines, and menus.

At Kitchen Affairs, our business is built on relationships. We work very hard on our relationships with people. We depend upon people: our associates, our vendors, and the people we work for, you, our customers. Your needs, as a customer, are the primary reason we exist.

Kitchen Affairs opened in October 1986 and is owned by Shelly and Mike Sackett. We're not part of any big corporation, although we do belong to the Gourmet Catalog Buying Group.We served for three years on the store advisory council for this group of more than 200 independent stores.We are also on the Gourmet Retailer magazine advisory council. We try to always offer the latest, the best, and the most useful items, both in hard goods and in food items, all while offering excellent value for your dollars spent.

At Kitchen Affairs, we are always looking for freshness. This includes our staff. If you think you might be interested in working with us, love to help other people, and smile many times daily, please stop in and talk to us about the opportunities to work on our sales floor, assisting the nicest people in the world, or assisting our class instructors, working with some incredible authors, chefs, cooks, and teachers. We promise you'll learn a lot, if you qualify to join our "family." We'd love to talk to you about it. Please stop in and chat.

When things get hectic, we hope you’ll take the time to stop in and have a cup of coffee with us. Things are usually calmer here than in many other stores, and we try to make your shopping experience as pleasurable as possible. You can usually park very near our door, we will always wrap your gifts at no charge year-around, and we love when you buy so much that we get to help you carry it out to your car. We’ll even provide the umbrella, if it’s raining.

We never forget that you have hundreds of places you can choose to shop, including catalogs and the Internet. We are grateful you choose to shop with us. Everyone here enjoys interacting with our customers; determining what it is you need, then finding the right item to meet that need. And if we don’t have just what you need, we’ll tell you where you can find it elsewhere, if we know. We truly appreciate your patronage and try to earn both your loyalty and your friendship, always. We’re always here just for you.
