Shop Rapport

Chelsea — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:50:23 +0000

If you made it out to our NE Shop Crawl last Saturday, you got a sneak peek of Shop Rapport’s Spring leather cuffs (the launch is not until May) and their adorable clutches in the store. I had the pleasure of meeting local Minnesotans Michele and Wesley, the fab ladies behind Shop Rapport. If you think their clutches are beautiful, you have to meet them in person! They have such great style and vibe about them, I knew I wanted their line in my store right then and there, it was a perfect match. Check out a taste of some of the pieces we have in store. The pictures seriously doesn’t do justice, the lining inside of the clutches are so cute, you just have to stop in and see it in person! Which one is your fav?

Local Jewelry Designer Spring Trunk Show Recap

Chelsea — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:14:26 +0000

Here is a recap of our Spring Local Jewelry Designer trunk show last month, better late than never right? We featured 5 local jewelry designers: Helen Wang Jewelry, Candied Yams Jewelry, Kim-Anh Tong Jewelry, Liebling Designs, and Twilight Soaps & Gifts, all showcasing their new Spring 2010 collection which can be found here at Parc!. All I can say is WOW, thanks to everyone who came out to support local artists and businesses. We are already getting so many people asking “when is your next trunk show”? So stay tuned and make sure you are on our mailing list so you won’t miss out on our next in store event! The designers and I all agreed the best part of the trunk show was interacting with our customers they all enjoyed chatting with all of you. We even did quite a few custom orders, a definite perk of working with a local designer. Not only is it local, but it’s hand made, unique, great quality, and you get exactly what you want! Here are some pictures we snapped during the event and click here to view more pictures from the trunk show.

Jambalaya and Crantini

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:58:13 +0000

Jambalaya and Crantini with wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique!

Coming from French, Spanish, and possibly African origin, Jambalaya is at least a relative to the Spanish Paella. While it is a “one pot” dish, it’s a perfect example of building layers of flavor making it a wonderful culinary treat.

My first experience with Jambalaya was in New Orleans and this is a combination of Cajun and Creole seasonings. The spice mix is something I keep on hand to flavor seafood and poultry in all sorts of recipes.

This recipe packs some heat, but I still serve it with hot sauce on the side for those who like more. The Southern Comfort Crantini also packs some punch – be careful with that:)

Alaskan King Crab and Strawberry Salad with Gougeres

Chelsea — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:39:13 +0000

Alaskan King Crab and Strawberry Salad with Gougeres with wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique!

I hate to admit it, but I frequently get stuck on one entree in a restaurant that becomes the reason I go there and what I usually order. This salad is a recreation of a crab and strawberry salad that I had every day for a week when I was in Tucson a few years ago cooking for a friend’s wedding. It’s a marvelous luncheon salad and perfect when paired with a gougere.

Gougeres, by the way, are easy to make and an absolute show stopper. You can add herbs, cheese, or just make them plain. The dough is a simple pate’ a choux which also is used for profiteroles and cream puffs. They are similar in taste, texture, and ingredients to a popover.

Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter

Chelsea — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:59:51 +0000

Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter with wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique

“Making ravioli is one of my favorite things to include in my cooking classes. It was a very “special occasion” dish when I was growing up. Let’s face it, it is some work. One of the reasons I like to do it with a class is that many people have never even thought of making their own and it’s so rewarding and fun to do.

The sweetness of the squash filling with the amaretti cookies, parmesan, and nutmeg is perfectly set off by the salty earthiness of the sage butter. That with a little sprinkling of parmesan is all you need for a wonderful first or main course. This is just one of the endless fillings you can come up with. Try making ravioli with children. They love it!”
