WOWza.
Sounds like it will but I bet it will go behind a firewall if ATK is in charge.

It’s a catalogue with a recipe section.
That does explain why they spend so much time hawking the products.

Interesting! It’s been intriguing to see them go from what to me seemed like writing about things to selling things!
Here’s a surprisingly brief Wikipedia entry.

Private equity came aboard in 2019, which often means expand or die. So they expanded into areas like home furnishings, bought Dansk and other retail stuff and got brick and mortar stores. Founders left in 2020. Private equity loves vertical integration driven by a friendly platform.

I had thought that Dansk was still owned by Lenox. My first “grown-op” flatware that I bought was Dansk Variation V. To go with my Iron Mountain Whispering Pines stoneware.
I love the Dansk casserole dishes, I have 2 white ones, easy clean up; they’re a lot pricier now.

I think some copy and pasting will be in my ro do list. Their recipes tend to be quite reliable for me

They had an app or apps for iOS. I had them- they were recipes and planting guides. They haven’t been available in the App Store for years. Mine were dated 2012 and we’re evidently withdrawn because they’re not on my iPad anymore and they’re in my account records that I purchased them, but they’re not available for redownload anymore, even though I purchased them. That happens when apps are withdrawn. …

Wow! I had no idea! I am not an iPhone person but I would have looked at those apps.
In the earlier years of particularly the iPad, there were a lot of cooking apps/cookbook apps. They’re mostly gone. Kindle cookbooks have survived. Earlier versions of How To Cook Everything and The Joy of Cooking were available as stand alone apps.

I just checked their online store - no more Staub, green pan, or funky cast iron stuff. Really nothing left Except for Dansk. And another brand I’d never heard of.

Excellent idea. Thanks. The recipe for “Quiche Any Way You Like It” should be in the Recipe Hall of Fame.
