I happen to love entertaining. There's something about food and drink that brings people together and makes them converse and focus on positivity instead of worrying or stressing about their lives. Once I was married and bought a house I couldn't wait to decorate it and also buy many of the items that I would need to entertain on a regular basis. I have many gadgets and silverware sets lying around however the best purchase I have ever made is my laguiole flatware set.
If you don't know about the laguiole tradition, let me give you a little bit of a background. Knives and other utility tools that were adapted from old Spanish settlers began to be manufactured in southern France around the beginning of the 19th century. These knives were noted for their quality craftsmanship along with a high level of functionality in everyday use. As the years went by I have only refined the art of knife making and have even branched out into other areas such as the aforementioned laguiole flatware.
But what is it that makes them the best? Well materials aside they have an artistic appeal due to the fine design on each and every piece. It looks as though each knife and fork take hours to complete, even though sure modern technology has sped up the process. But even so, the stainless steel finish has proven to be strong and durable even through heavy usage over the years from both my family and random guests.
When I find something I like I tend to stick with it and my laguiole flatware set is no exception. If you are looking for a tremendous silverware set, I strongly encourage you look at anything laguiole made because it is backed by hundreds of years of support and manufacturing skill.
