Williams-Sonoma had been aware that its copyrighted images appeared, from time to time, on Amazon's product detail pages ("PDP") - i.e., the webpages on which products are listed for sale. Sometimes in discovery, you discover stuff. Last year, after the court denied Amazon's motion dismiss the complaint, the parties proceeded to discovery. This copyright issue came up in the middle of a trademark case filed by Williams-Sonoma against Amazon, in which Williams-Sonoma alleges (among other things) that the unauthorized use of its trademarks in connection with the resale of its products on by third party sellers infringes upon its trademarks. Here is the photo (courtesy of the court's decision) of the image in question: This post is about that famous bark, or, more accurately, about a decision issued last week by Magistrate Judge Tse (in the Northern District of California) that addressed whether the unauthorized publication on of an “artistically-staged” photograph of that glorious confection infringed upon Williams-Sonoma's copyright. It represents the rare instance (forgive me, Ina!) when homemade just can't measure up to store-bought. But, at least for me, the peppermint bark you can buy from Williams-Sonoma during the holidays is the ideal against which all other candy bark is measured. The one time I made Ina's recipe for homemade white chocolate bark, I thought it was good. (Move over, Michael the florist!)īut not even Ina bats 1000. Nearly twenty years of watching her TV show has left me with the unshakable impression (fantasy?) that, were we to meet in the real world, she would immediately welcome me into her extensive circle. And I love how she insists on using only "good" vanilla extract, avoids cilantro at all costs, and reassures you that whatever you are making "doesn't have to be perfect" (even though hers always is). I love how her zen calm remains intact even when celebrities passing through East Hampton (like Neal Patrick Harris or Mel Brooks) casually stop by to learn how to truss a chicken. I love the rapport she shares with her husband Jeffrey, especially the way she beams at him each and every time he tells her (as he often does) that the food she has prepared is the "most delicious" thing he has ever tasted. I love her recipes: they are relatively easy to execute, delicious (no surprise, since they tend to double down on butter), and leave guests with the impression that my culinary skills are stronger than an honest appraisal would support. to assemble: pour hot chocolate in your favourite mug, top with a generous amount of whipped cream, chocolate shavings & a sprinkle of sea salt.I don't think it is possible to love Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, more than I do.pour in the white chocolate & beat until stiff peaks are formed. for the whipped cream: in a mixing bowl using a whisk, add cream & sugar.simmer until bubbles begin to form at the edges, but do not bring to a boil! remove from heat & add in the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, sugar, vanilla & salt. for the hot chocolate: in a sauce pot over medium heat add milk & cream.1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for topping.4 ounces high quality milk chocolate, chopped.4 ounces high quality dark chocolate, chopped.if you want to win a 5.5 qt cocotte in your favourite colour, hop on over to my instagram here to enter! i am hosting a staub giveaway with zwilling canada over on instagram. i also decided on topping it with a white chocolate whipped cream, because a fancy ass hot chocolate deserves an equally fancy whipped cream. i topped it with sea salt, because a touch of salt makes everything that much better. no room for bad chocolate when you are indulging in something this decadent.
