TABLEFARE DEBUTS NEW SPICE STORAGE SYSTEM AT 2009 INTERNATIONAL HOME & HOUSEWARES SHOW

SpiceCare revolutionizes spice organization for the common cook

CHICAGO, IL (MARCH 18, 2009)—TableFare, a developer of kitchen products to solve common culinary problems for everyday cooks, announced today the launch of its first product, SpiceCare, an innovative, modular spice management system."As a cook and a specialty kitchenware customer, I'd daydream that someone would invent the exact product I needed to solve the ordinary kitchen problem I was facing that day," said Carol Peterman, owner/sales for TableFare. After two years of wishing and three more years of active planning, Peterman and her husband, David, formed TableFare in 2007.

The company's first product, SpiceCare is inspired by Carol's need to easily organize and identify her large collection of spices. "I love to experiment with flavors and seasonings," said Peterman. "But I needed a better solution to my spice storage nightmare." After trying a number of products, Peterman designed a triangular-shaped, transparent container that is airtight and interlocking, making spices easy to identify, store and access.

*** SpiceCare will be on display in the IHA Media Product Room.
