Tucked away in Basel's downtown is La Cucina. This is a gorgeous shop, long and narrow in length,…read morewith much to see, touch and explore! I took as many pictures as I felt I could get away with, but only captured about half of the store's stock, it would seem. I was super impressed with their crazy array of cork stoppers for every size of jar, jug and bottle! Sadly, I didn't get a shot of 'em.
La Cucina seemed to be a cookery shop with, perhaps, an eye toward Bed and Breakfast business. Among the cast iron ware and numerous baking tools, we saw signage (no smoking/WC) and industrial-sized (read: four foot long) stirring implements. The hubs thought the large spoons and such were meant to be for commercial use, but I thought that they might be used in making massive quantities of Glühwein during the holidays over an open fire, but what do I know?
If one is tooling about Basel's Innenstadt, then a look-see in La Cucina is definitely a must.
