Chez Chloe Cafe says au revoir mais á bientôt.

Thanks again to all who consumed and enjoyed our short stay in Eastsound Square. It was a very meaningful year but just not quite the right time to expand and explore.
I'm looking forward to spending more time in the store and giving cooking classes. Oh and maybe a little more time for me and my own kitchen. And how about this blog!
Please come by the store and say hello.
Thank you!

Café is open

The café is open and already in our 2nd month. And yes this is why there have been no posts! Business is picking up and we are starting to feel some rhythm in the kitchen and in the front of the house. It's taken up all my time and then some. Loving to cook and owning a restaurant, as I was told more than once, are two different beasts! But when I feel overwhelmed and stressed out and I get in the kitchen, it is all ok!
I will post some new pics of the café very soon. And until there is a sub division of Chez Chloé only writing blog entries, there is only me. So they won't materialize a whole lot but keep checking in every now and again or sign up and you will be notified of new posts.
More soon.

P.S. Tidbit......Try cooking up some kumquats in a little sugar and water and reduce. Wrap a piece of pork with the kumquats up with bacon and fry in a pan. Yum.

Hi everybody -
Sorry for long delay...... We are back in the U.S.A. on lovely Orcas Island. The weather has been beautiful and the air clean. We are missing Paris but life is sweet here.
I can't say I have been visiting any reknowned restaurants in the last month although Orcas does boast quite a few and as time permits I will revisit them and keep you posted ( really no pun intended!)
My time has been spent setting up "Chez Chloe" kitchen and specialty food store - if you want to check it out- www.chezchloe.com. This has consumed 99% of my energy in the last few weeks with another 50% going to our house and potager garden. Wait a minute that doesn't add up you say.....Just sleep less. Kidding aside - I am also gun ho on getting our garden going again. That's something Paris just can't provide. We do have a great farmer's market going again now - tons of fresh veggies, flowers, organic meats , crafts and ready to eat treats.Img_3344
No, I can't find fresh rabbit , fois gras, lobsters, cheeses but did I mention how clean the air is........
