I’m in TC this weekend looking for NW Michigan winery visitors!
I'm still looking for people to talk to me about their visits to NW Michigan wineries. This is part of my phd project. Talking to me is fun and I'll give you $25!
9 Bean Rows Opens Bakery
Jen and Nic Welty of 9 Bean Rows opened their Traverse City bakery on Front St. earlier this week. Over the past couple years they've offered Jen's delicious croissants, tarts, breads and other baked goods at local farmer's markets, but the new storefront gives them a welcome presence throughout the week. Today we tried the cream cheese croissant and Jen's "new favorite pastry" a brioche royale. This muffin-sized brioche is filled with pastry cream, cinnamon and raisins and is soaked in a simple syrup. It sounds so rich, but was surprisingly light. And the combination of cream cheese, croissant and powdered sugar was a big hit too. To satisfy your sweet tooth, or to grab a loaf of bread, make sure to stop by. The bakery is open Tuesday-Saturday from 7 a.m. until noon. You'll find it as 439 E Front St. where the Cooks' House used to be. (And don't worry...the Cooks' House is still here. They just relocated to the Wellington Market around the corner on Wellington.)

Dinner at the Farm
Last night my husband and I had the pleasure of joining eight others for the first "Dinner at the Farm" at Farm 651 in Cedar, Mich. The meal was delicious and the conversation enjoyable, but the best part to me was the experience with the chefs: rwo students from NMC's Great Lakes Culinary Institute.

A Little Love for Crooked Tree Breadworks
The Petoskey News-Review writes about a gem of a place in No secrets at Crooked Tree Breadworks. So true. I've had a print-out of their Mixed Berry Scones recipe in my cupboard for about a year and finally made them last week. A definite hit, and I already bought the ingredients to make them again. Glad that recipe isn't a secret!
