BLUE STAR Independent culinary industry experts agree that these handcrafted ranges, first established in 1880, outperform other stoves when testing for boiling, simmering, deep frying, stir-frying, and searing. Marcus enjoys the shorter cooking times and even simmering emerging from BlueStar's unique 22,000 BTU's of cooking power.

SANTA MARIA SPICES "I was particularly pleased when Santa Maria invited me to develop recipes for their new seasonings. The recipes had to be trendy, exciting and appeal to a Nordic curiosity. We have now reached our destination after so many months of tasting and testing. We drew our inspiration from Asia, Africa, Europe and - of course - New York. I hope you like the flavorings and recipes as much as I do."
