2009 International Home & Housewares Show

March 29, 2009 · WCC Administr@tr · 5 Comments

Because I couldn’t stand being without my camera cord for a whole week, I went and picked up a device that downloads data from my camera into my laptop. As a result, I’m able to share with you pictures and post about the last few dishes I’ve made in my extremely lacking kitchen.

Here are pictures from the recent International Home & Housewares Show I attended exactly a week ago today. For those that missed my earlier post, the International Home & Housewares Show is a wonderful 3 day trade show (not open to the public) hosted by the International Housewares Association (IHA) that focuses on promoting the sales and marketing of housewares.

I’ve made quite a few connections and there will be a lot of great giveaways in store for our weekly Foodie Freebie Fridays as well as some amazing culinary events planned for What’s Cookin Chicago. I hope you stay tuned because there is some great fun in store for both my blog readers and fellow Chicagoans!

Another perk to attending the Home & Housewares show is the opportunity to meet some celebrity chefs. Celebrity Chefs attend this trade show in support of the various housewares they sponsor and usually have a cooking demo for attendees. Kitchenaid is a big sponsor for the cooking demo kitchen:

This year I couldn’t stay as long as I wanted due to some outside appointments I had in the afternoon, however I did get the chance to meet chefs and received autographed cookbooks from:
