WDS Q4 2022 Digital Catalog

For many of us, the last quarter of each year is the most highly anticipated. The fierce heat of summer reluctantly gives way to the cool crisp air of autumn. Color dangles wistfully from the trees before releasing into pools of splendor. Pumpkins are artfully arranged at stoops, porches, and front doors to welcome both our guests and this cherished season. And we once again turn our thoughts to upcoming rituals, holiday festivities, and meaningful intersections with family members, neighbors, and close friends.

Fall. The very word conjures images. Chrysanthemums. A harvest moon. Oak leaves gracefully aged by time. A bubbly warm slice of apple pie. Acorns and seed pods. Tartan plaid. These pictures, and others, remind us of what it is about this time of year we enjoy so much.

As 2022 approaches its conclusion, the world encourages us to hold space for reflection. To imagine our best lives. To envision the events ahead, how we wish to celebrate them, and with whom.

We at William D Scott believe in the kinship between imagination and wellbeing. That’s why we’ve curated beautiful products the world over to enrich and enhance your home.

We invite you to explore these pages for inspiration. imagine

COOKTOGETHER

Were you welcome in the kitchen when you were a kid? Not me! Growing up, all non-adults in my family were restricted from our kitchen during meal prep. Basically, anyone under five feet tall and unfamiliar with making pastry dough from scratch was banished to the living room. It was as if culinary secrets had to remain just that...top secret. Unfortunately, I don’t have memories of fun time spent in the kitchen as a young boy, watching, learning, making messes, and exploring how meals come together. It wasn’t until well after graduate school that I started experimenting with recipes in the kitchen for myself. So it’s kind of miraculous that I inherited the baking gene from my mother, and somehow, the joy of preparing healthy food at home took root.

There are few things more elemental in life than preparing and eating food. And, at least for me, there’s something special about sharing the kitchen with someone else. It creates a unique bonding experience. Why not begin this ritual with your children? All it takes is a little patience. If they get it wrong, there’s always pizza delivery. Seriously, it’s not life or death.

Holiday preparations may seem stressful and daunting enough without the additional element of children “helping” in the kitchen. But involving the kids can be a great introduction to family food traditions while providing essential cooking skills. When you break down the tasks, from menu creation to shopping, chopping and cooking, you will find appropriate levels of participation for kids at almost any age. I recommend you start with simple recipes that require a limited number of ingredients and just a few steps for all skill levels.

So pull out the step stool, have plenty of towels on hand, and enjoy the time spent together. You just may find that connecting happens while you’re cooking.

ART

the of AUTUMN CHARCUTERIE

A charcuterie board, pronounced shaar-KOO-tuh-ree, originated in France. It translates loosely to “pork-butcher shop” and denoted a board composed of pork products. Today, these boards comprise a variety of savory cured meats and other elements such as fruit, cheese, bread/crackers and flavor enhancers. These items are carefully curated to complement each other and create sumptuous pairings based on taste and texture. A delicious charcuterie board offers something for everyone. The combinations you can assemble are myriad. The idea is just to optimize flavor to create enjoyable and exciting food assortments. Use your imagination!

one of our favorite fall things the elements

NEVER BE BOARD

The “board” is merely the container or platform upon which to stage your creation. So be as clever as you like. Vintage wooden boxes and heirloom tin trays are some of our favorites. If you choose a traditional route, most boards are 9×13 or can be as big as 12×18. If you decide to use a wood board, teak, maple, cherry, olive, and acacia woods are best. You want to choose a non-porous wood to avoid the absorption of unwanted flavors. Marble or slate are also smart choices due to their durability.

GET CHEESY MEAT EATS

The cheese on a charcuterie board should include both soft and hard varieties and offer a breadth of flavors. Aged cheddar, smoked gouda, plain cheese curds, edam, Beecher’s Flagship, Boursin Garlic Herb Spread, smoked mozzarella, and Fromager D’Affinois are some outstanding choices. Blue cheese and goat cheese are also quite commonly used. There are also an increasing number of non-dairy plant-based cheeses that you may wish to include for your lactose intolerant guests.

For the best cured meats to add to your board, try Genoa salami, prosciutto, soppressata, Nola salami, peppered salami, and Spanishstyle chorizo. The meats should complement the flavors of the other ingredients on your platter. Sidebar: meats are optional. Know your guests and accommodate their preferences. Increasingly, modern culture is noted by personal interest and investment in health and wellbeing, and many are making conscious food choices that align with their social values.

BE A WISE CRACKER FRUITY FAVORITES YUMMY EXTRAS

These are your structural elements. A nice sliced crusty French bread, rosemary crackers, Raincoast Crisps, and whole-wheat crackers all pair well with the other ingredients. A toasted bread option is sure to please as well. Surprise your guests with your thoughtful creativity.

Fruit adds a delicious sweetness to these platters, which offsets the saltier meats and cheeses. Some of the best fresh fruits to include are grapes, strawberries, pears, apples, and blueberries. For dried fruits, add apricots, figs, tart cherries, and golden raisins.

Last, but most certainly not least, don’t forget to include a few jams and preserves such as fig, plum, and strawberry. Roasted nuts are always a hit too. Favorites are pistachios, almonds, and pecans. And without question, don’t forget the pitted olives in both Kalamata and Sicilian varieties. Top it all off with a batch of regional honey to keep your gathering sweet and the local bees in business.
