One of the true pleasures of making a high quality line of products is the pleasant feedback from our customers, especially those who take the time to rate and write about us online. Here are three of the latest comments from Cambridge customers who purchased our Evanston Mirror pattern and posted their thoughts on one of the Internet’s highest rated sites, www.cooking.com.
CUSTOMER I
“I bought this as a gift for a friend, and we were both extremely pleased with it. We both loved the simple design and having the tray that came with it is an extra bonus. It fit into her kitchen drawer perfectly, with room to spare. It was packaged VERY well — in fact, we had trouble getting the pieces out, it was so tightly banded together! She is happy to have new flatware, and I was happy that I could give her such a nice gift at a reasonable cost. It made an awesome presentation. Thanks.”
CUSTOMER II
“A good product, delivered in good time and well worth the price.”
CUSTOMER III
“I purchased this product for a gift. The person who received it is very happy with my choice.”
By the way, all three clicked on “Would purchase again”.

As winter drives more and more folks indoors, weekend brunches start to abound. Everyone wants to host The Perfect Brunch, no less be a guest at one! Here are some tips on how to have that brunch from one of the more popular food sites on the Web, www.squidoo.com. Of course, the key to a great brunch is the food! But also the table arrangement and setting play key roles for a successful event. Here are some of the menu suggestions offered on the site:
Always think savory and sweet. If you’re more daring, go with some spicy and tart items, too. Choose one meat and/or one fish dish. Make sure you have a substantial vegetable dish for the non-meat eaters.
Add an egg dish as your main course (which can include the meat). Select 1-3 sides. Include bread/muffin mixes and sweets, especially fruits (those in season are best).
In addition, you may want to have a cake or pie and some cookies to end the meal. As for drinks, Bloody Marys and Mimosas still rule the day, but Mojitos shouldn’t be counted out completely. Lasts, a great blend of coffee and/or tea puts the finishing touch on your menu.
And, of course, when served with Cambridge flatware and accessories, you will be sure to host The Perfect Brunch!

Lots of people give flatware as a gift. This includes weddings and other events wherein setting up a new household in involved. But, there are many occasions where relatives and close friends augment the flatware on individuals or couples with serving pieces, additional settings and cutlery…to name a few.
For young people who are continually on-the-go and don’t entertain much, you will most likely want them to have flatware that is sturdy and very easy-to-maintain. Keep in mind how the “comfort fit” should be. For example, try to imagine the type of use the flatware will get by the type of individual’s personality. To illustrate, a young male in his first-time household will probably want a heavier flatware with a high gauge and a brushed or matte finish. You get the idea. More importantly, you won’t have to worry about finding the right match for the right person(s) from the large variety and broad selection Cambridge offers you to choose from.
Here is the most recent comment we have received. It’s from a lady who lost a knife and was looking to replace it. She wrote:
Thank you soooo much for the replacement. I always said that good customer service is the reason for us to stick to a product. After the way you dealt with my problem, I’m going to buy more and more of your products. I actually did start, and I already bought a new set of steak knives. Once again, thank you and I’m gonna’ put an excellent review on my purchase!
Our thanks, too, for your kind remarks about Cambridge.
