There is nothing better than having a decorative piece in your home that can be displayed numerous ways and also serve as a conversation starter. A glass cloche can do just that.

The name, “cloche,” comes from a French origin meaning “bell,” which typically is the traditional shape of the translucent cover. The bell-shaped glass cover can be placed on numerous surfaces and the possibilities are endless when it comes to displaying these decorative pieces. We went ahead and shared some of our favorite ways to display our Small, Medium and Large Demijohn Cloches. Add to your kitchen...

Contrary to popular belief, almost all studies show that over time, wood cutting boards are the safer and better choice as the go-to kitchen cutting board. Wood cutting boards handle bacteria more effectively You may think that bacteria washes off more easily on a plastic board, and the first few times you use a plastic cutting board, it...
After the holidays, when the cold weather has really hit, we crave a warm soup for dinner more than ever. One of our favorite classic bistro soups is French Onion. For the longest time I loved French Onion soup at restaurants but never thought it was possible to make at home. However, I have found the best recipe and have shared it with everyone here at Europe2You! It is so easy and delicious you have to try it at home for these cold nights. The most important thing for this French Onion soup is time. It is very important to let the onions caramelize slowly and also let the broth simmer for as long as possible. The soup has very...

This season we have stripped down our products to their essential forms, giving maximum utility from reduced construction. We throw caution to the wind as we play with bold shapes and colors, something we haven’t exactly done before. You will see bright colors and geometric shapes but always juxtaposed with something classic -...
