It was the night before Christmas, and all was well in the land of cookware. Yes folks, it is Christmas Eve, 2008. Your Cookware Helper has a lot to be thankful for, worked hard this year, and is planning some exciting things for next year.

First I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays. 

Second, I want to thank all of my visitors, making www.YourCookwareHelper.com a success after just 6 months of operation. It took a lot of planning, a lot of changes, and a lot of updates, but the response has been overwhelming. It is humbling to receive the amount e-mails asking questions, thanking me for the prompt answers, and gushing about how much they enjoy their new cookware.

I promise all of you 2009 will be an exciting year. Here is what I have planned for you:

• to deliver on my promise of cookware videos
• cover 6 additional brands including Scanpan, Chantal, Mauviel, and more
• add reviews of individual pieces of cookware from a variety of brands
• publish the 2009-2010 cookware guide in October

There is even more being planned, but it is so big, I can't let it out of the bag yet!

I wish everyone a safe and happy season. Be well, and of course...

Happy cooking!
