Bram Cookware

My collection of clay cooking pots keeps expanding all the time, thanks in no small part to Ashrf Almasri and his cool little store Bram, in Sonoma, California. The pots are not only beautiful to look at; with clay, the heat transfer is just completely different from what you get with steel or any other metal: slow, even, delicate. You can order pots via Bram's website, but when Ashrf has something new in the shop, he'll give me a call and I'll head up to Sonoma. He understands how into these things I am. —Charles Phan, The Slanted Door, San Francisco
