CRAVE WORTHY LOCAL RESTAURANT NEWS TO USE REPORTING BY SHANNON CLINTON

After the pandemic thwarted a spring debut, Bella Café and Grille, the newest addition to the Bella Notte Restaurant Group, settled for a mid-November opening.

“We are very excited about Bella Cafe and Grille opening,” said Jillian Richards, director of training and marketing for the group.

“It has been a long time coming. We were originally set to open in May, but once the virus hit, we had to hit the pause button.”

Richards said the café is small and intimate, so with currently capped capacity levels, it will initially be open only for carryout and delivery. Bella Notte Restaurant Group is the company behind Bella Notte and Smashing Tomato. The group’s restaurant Bella Forno (formerly known as Crust) recently closed for good.

“This concept is very different from anything we have done before,” Richards said.

“It will have some Italian influence, but the biggest similarities between [Bella Café and Grille] and the rest of our restaurant group is everything is made from scratch, and we will source locally as much as we can.”

Bella Café and Grille is located at 890 E. High St., formerly home to Le Matin and Zuni’s Café.

In other Lexington-area food and beverage happenings, Central Kentucky is getting its first cat café. Jennifer Hoskins is opening Central Purrk Cat Café at 401 Outlet Center Drive, Suite 260, in Georgetown in December.

The concept of cat cafés originated in Japan and has spread throughout the United States. Hoskins said she researched domestic locations extensively in planning her own venue, where adoptable cats from Lexington and Scott County shelters will interact with patrons.

Hoskins said there will be about 10 cats roaming freely in an onsite play/lounge area at any given time.

“We knew somebody would end up doing it in this area, and we thought it should be us,” she said.

Due to health regulations, only pre-packaged food can be served onsite, and that will include cookies, scones, cupcakes,

brownies and macarons. The café will also serve coffee, wine and beer. The fee for patrons is $12 per hour, per person; or $6 for 30 minutes.

“It truly is relaxing [having] a cat sit on your lap,” Hoskins said.

Central Kentucky culinary entrepreneur Ouita Michel has launched Delivery CoOp, a new locally owned and managed food delivery app, in conjunction with her restaurant group and other local partners.

“What makes this service different is that it’s owned by the local restaurants and full-time delivery drivers, who are extensions of our teams,” Michel said in an online announcement, touting the app as a “simple, elegant and innovative solution.”

Patrons pay a $25 monthly subscription/ member fee, which allows access to ondemand delivery service from participating restaurants with no added fees or charges. Zim’s Café is the test site for Lexington, with more restaurants to follow, both from Michel’s collection of restaurants as well as other independent eateries. Menus of participating restaurants will be included in the app. More information is available at www.delivery.coop.

Old Kentucky Chocolates has opened in Palomar Center, its fourth location.

The location also includes drive-through service for picking up a sweet treat on the go.

The Futile Bakery has opened on Waller Avenue, specializing in cinnamon rolls, customized cookies, cakes and macarons, according to its Facebook page.

Distilled on Jefferson recently opened the doors to its new location at 157 Jefferson St., having moved from its former location at Gratz Park Inn. The restaurant serves contemporary Southern cuisine, with menu highlights including poutine, fried chicken, country ham-wrapped scallops and organic Scottish salmon.

Critchfield Meats announced a November opening for its new, larger location in the former Save-A-Lot on Southland Drive. “Our meat department will be fully operational with the grocery and the deli fried chicken coming soon!” a social media post promised.

Thrive Kombucha on North Limestone, owned by Elijah and Annie Webster, has launched a crowdfunding campaign with hopes of expanding its taproom. n

OPENING DAY IS WITHIN SIGHT FOR GREYLINE STATION, THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED, MULTI-FACETED PUBLIC MARKET IN NORTH LEXINGTON STORY BY SHANNON CLINTON (WITH REPORTING ASSISTANCE FROM SARAYA BREWER) PHOTOS BY EMILY GIANCARLO AND BILL STRAUS

A

fter nearly three years of planning and renovations, a repurposed historic former bus station in Lexington’s north side will soon be bustling once again.

The first tenants of GreyLine Station – a large-scale, mixed-use retail, office and hospitality project on the corner of North Limestone and Loudon Avenue – began to open their doors to the public in November, with additional tenants slated to open in the weeks and months ahead.

The much-anticipated project, which also includes space and rental rates for nonprofits and small start-up businesses looking to grow, has been in the works for several years. As with many projects of this scale, the grand opening has been pushed back several times, due to construction setbacks and pandemic-related complications. But the wait is ending.

GreyLine tenant Poppy & Pomelo, a new locally owned boutique specializing in unique Fair Trade items, officially opened its doors to the public on Nov. 10, with several other tenants expected to join it by year’s end.

SMILEYPETE.COM || DECEMBER 2020

Built in 1928, the 65,000-square-foot building that houses GreyLine originally served as the headquarters and bus station for Southeast Greyhound Lines and, more recently, as the headquarters and a maintenance repair facility for LexTran. LexTran sold the property to developer Needham Properties in 2018.

According to Chad Needham, owner of Needham Properties, recent renovations have included a new roof; new plumbing, electric and climate-control systems; and replacing or repairing concrete and installing more than 3,500 new windows. A newly installed rainwater harvesting system captures runoff water from the roof and directs it to cisterns beneath the parking lot for reuse.

All told, the project represents a more than

$5 million reinvestment in the community, said Needham, who also owns numerous other properties in the neighborhood.

“My desire to improve North Limestone and take the older buildings that are vacant and bring new life to them [has] always been an opportunity that inspires me,” he said.

Needham said the multi-faceted project has drawn strong interest from the community and reported in October that it was about two-thirds booked. The vendors constitute a melding of various concepts, with several culinary and hospitality businesses anchoring the south end of the building; a handful of retail vendors that can be accessed from both the exterior and interior of the building; office space for non-profits and other ventures;

and at the center, a large open market with more than 50 kiosks for small businesses, artists, start-ups and more. Clerestory, a new 6,000-square-foot wedding-and-event venue in the space owned by event planner Shelley Fortune recently hosted its first events, and Lexington community radio station RadioLex is planning to move its headquarters and studio into GreyLine before the year’s end.

“The GreyLine project is going to be transformative for the community, providing space for grassroots entrepreneurs and small local businesses,” said Mark Royse, the station’s general manager. He said the move, which comes on the heels of the station’s five-year anniversary, will allow the station to double its space and offer expanded access to the public airwaves.

Located in a former bus depot, GreyLine Station features several standalone businesses that are accessible both from the interior and exterior of the building, in addition to Julietta Market, a large central marketplace with more than 50 kiosks.

DECEMBER 2020 || SMILEYPETE.COM

A major partner in the project is North Limestone Community Development Corporation (NoLi CDC), a nonprofit that was created in 2013 to cultivate new opportunities in Lexington’s Northside neighborhood. The organization will have a major presence in the space. In addition to moving its offices to GreyLine Station, the organization will also launch and manage the year-round Julietta Market, a multi-vendor market that takes up a large portion of the space.

Named after the late Lexington activist Julia Etta Lewis, Julietta Market will occupy about 23,000 square feet within GreyLine Station and will include 72 kiosks, eight food stalls, art exhibitions, shared meeting and kitchen spaces, a stage, play area and more. The project honors the spirit of Lewis, who was among the leaders in Lexington’s civil rights movement and also led the fight against segregation in education, entertainment, shopping, restaurants and public transportation.

Julietta Market will also include a year-round farmers’ market in conjunction with Black Soil, an organization with a mission to reconnect African Americans in Kentucky with their agricultural heritage and to help bring together urban families and farmers toward greater prosperity. The farmers’ market is slated for a soft opening on Small Business Saturday (Nov. 28), with year-round hours to pick up in early 2021.

In June, NoLi CDC hired Leannia Haywood as director of smallbusiness development to help grow the market and to support fledgling entrepreneurs through one-on-one consultations, group classes, small-business coaching, mentorship meetups and workshops. Prior to joining the NoLi CDC, Haywood was director of the Boys and Girls Club of America in Lovett, Texas, where she launched a youth entrepreneurship program. She later spent four years as executive director of Grace of Serenity Living in Phoenix, leading a youth entrepreneurship program there.

Haywood said that while the pandemic has brought more income insecurity and job loss, it has also presented a good opportunity for people of all ages to consider launching businesses of their own. One of NoLi CDC’s underlying goals with Julietta Market is to help nourish a culture of entrepreneurship in the North Lexington community.

“What we’re hoping is we’ll see more sustainability throughout this neighborhood,” Haywood said. “When you teach people how to support themselves, they in turn learn how to support others better.”

To help keep expenses low for vendors, NoLi CDC has launched a $25,000 crowdsourced fundraising campaign on the platform GoFundMe. Other funding sources include grants from the Knight Foundation, Snowy Owl Foundation and a matching grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Haywood said donations will also help fund Shares Community Kitchen. Set to open early next year, the commercial-grade, regulationcompliant kitchen can be rented for as little as $25 a day.

“That’s unheard of, but with the community’s support, we can do it, so no one is barred from their dream [of starting a food-based business],” Haywood said.

The initial culinary-based tenants that will occupy kiosks at Julietta Market include Inebriated Baker, a local start-up focusing on “boozy baked goods”; the gourmet caramel and candy apple company A Taste of Fall; and the popular local ice cream shop Sav’s Chill. A tattoo shop, handcrafted soap company, tarot booth and art galleries are among the other vendors confirmed for Julietta Market.

While “when will it open” has been a popular question regarding the market, the answer has remained a moving target as the construction and permitting processes wrap up and delays pend due to the pandemic. Le’She Robinson, who was hired as director of operations for Julietta Market, said the market was planning to open on Nov. 28, with limited hours (Fri.-Sun.) until mid-March, at which point they would reevaluate the hours. Plans for a grand opening/dedication ceremony have been scaled back, with a smaller-scale Winter Market in the space slated for Dec. 5.

As the many pieces of this multi-faceted project start to come to life, Needham reflected on the project, which he said is different than any other building he’s worked on during his career. As a business incubator, the site will continually evolve as expanding businesses envelop additional space, new businesses arrive and others relocate as their needs change.

“There’s an excitement and an energy in a space like GreyLine that brings so many small businesses together, for and with a community,” said Dayna De Leon, who will be helping oversee the opening of Forage and Koko, two sister businesses that focus on houseplants and sustainable, earth-friendly cleaning products and toiletries. In the spirit of community, the two businesses will share a space within GreyLine.

GreyLine Station “is a living, breathing thing – much bigger than the actual building,” Needham said. “The whole is much greater than its parts.”

The first batch of Fresh Bourbon Co. pre-orders is slated to ship in early 2021, with a second batch expected to hit store shelves within the first quarter of the new year.

A

ccording to Lexington bourbon entrepreneur Sean Edwards, “The story sells the first bottle, but what’s in it will sell the second bottle.”

“…and the one after that,” his wife, Tia Edwards, is quick to add.

Sean and Tia’s story of launching Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co., the first Black-owned bourbon distillery in Central Kentucky, is gaining momentum not only throughout the state but also across the nation. The bourbon itself – currently produced from a custom recipe under a contract agreement with Hartfield & Co. in Paris, Kentucky, while the Edwardses build their distillery in downtown Lexington – is also winning accolades and gaining fans.

Fresh Bourbon ended its pre-sale campaign in late October after filling orders for commemorative bottles from its first batch, as well as a limited number of bottles from its first barrel.

Shipment is expected early 2021.

“This is history in a bottle,” Tia said.

They anticipate a second batch will arrive on store shelves during the first quarter of 2021.

Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co. has secured distribution with the largest alcohol distributor in the country and will initially launch in five states.

“Our aspirations and dreams are to be a world-recognized brand,” said Sean. “The ideal for us is to be one of the top bourbon brands produced.”

The genesis of Fresh Distilling was sparked during Sean and Tia’s extensive travels.

Inevitably during conversations with people they’d meet, upon learning the couple was from Kentucky, the topics of KFC, horses and bourbon would arise. Sean and Tia eventually took a deep dive into researching the bourbon industry and quickly recognized an opportunity.

They registered Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co. as a business entity in 2017. This past December, they received preliminary approval for a tax-incentive agreement from the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. Under the agreement, the company can earn up to $200,000 in incentives

based upon its investing at least $5.4 million and hitting certain yearly targets over 10 years, including creating at least 15 full-time jobs with minimum pay of $18 an hour and paid benefits. The Edwardses have committed to creating at least 25 new full-time jobs, with salaries determined by position. They are currently in the process of meeting with potential investors during a second round of fundraising, with the goal of raising $10 million.

The company was set to break ground on a $5.4 million, 34,000-square-foot distillery in downtown Lexington this past summer, but construction plans were delayed due to the pandemic. Tia and Sean expect to move forward with building their distillery next year, with a location to be announced in the first quarter of 2021.

During the process of registering Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co., the Edwardses discovered that no African American had previously registered a distillery as a business entity within the Commonwealth. While Tia said it wasn’t their intention to be the first, they recognized the market needed something different – and they wanted to offer it.

“We have been truly excited to [break] down some doors but also to open doors and garner excitement in the industry for diversity and inclusion,” Sean said. Separately, Brough Brothers, founded by three brothers, was the state’s first African-American owned distillery to receive a federal permit from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and launched in Louisville this past spring.

In February, the Kentucky Senate honored the Edwardses and acknowledged Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co. for mashing, fermenting, distilling and bottling bourbon and other spirits solely within the state. The Senate also recognized the company for working with a Black master distiller, the first since slavery.

Dr. Erin Wiggins Gilliam, dean of the Whitney Young Honors College and associate history professor at Kentucky State University, said that slavery and the production of bourbon are closely intertwined. “When we talk about the bourbon industry and it being an agricultural stronghold in this country, we know that enslaved Africans worked the fields,” she said. “They weren’t just [grinding] the wheat and the corn, but they were actually mixing and helping with recipes.”

Construction plans have changed since this original rendering was released; the Edwardses plan to break ground in 2021, with a location to be announced during the first quarter of the year.

RENDERING FURNISHED

Michael Adams, co-founder and vice president of the Kentucky Black Bourbon Guild (KBBG), said he and fellow members have examined the history and records of various bourbon distilleries and learned of the numerous contributions made by African descendants in what is now a multi-billion dollar industry. Most notably was Nathan “Nearest” Green, a formerly enslaved African American who taught a young Jack Daniel how to make whiskey and is credited with introducing the charcoal-filtration method distinctive of Tennessee whiskey.

Louisville’s Brown-Forman, the parent company of the Jack Daniel Distillery in

SMILEY PETE’S

Lynchburg, Tennessee, acknowledges the instrumental role that Green played and credits him as its first master distiller.

Nearest Green Distillery, co-founded and led by CEO Fawn Weaver, produces Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey and is currently building a multimillion-dollar distillery and entertainment destination in Shelbyville, Tennessee.

Sean said that once he and Tia realized they were the first African-Americans to register a distillery in Kentucky, they wanted to ensure that what they presented to the public was authentic and top of the line. He said that’s why they named the company Fresh Distilling.

Tia and Sean Edwards registered Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co. in 2017.

The company is preparing to release its first spirit brand and plans to construct a new distillery in downtown Lexington in 2021.

“‘Fresh’ is not an age statement; it’s our approach to an existing industry,” he said. “It’s our approach in creating a fresh bourbon experience for everybody.”

This approach begins with the bourbon itself and crafting their own recipes and standards for its production. Many startup producers will source whiskey from an established distillery and package it as their own, often blending whiskeys together or aging it longer. Adams, with the KBBG, said this approach “leaves out the true craftsmanship that is supposed to be in bourbon. The craftsmanship is about putting your sweat equity into creating a product from scratch that the public will love,” he said.

Tia describes Fresh Bourbon’s flavor as “very rich, gently sweet and approachable, with a surprising complexity and satisfying depth.”

In August, the company received a gold medal from the MicroLiquor Spirit Awards in recognition of Fresh’s excellent taste.

The award is presented annually to brands around the globe that sell fewer than 250,000 cases annually.

From the flavor profile of its spirits and the sleek, silhouette design of its bottles, to plans for the distillery itself – the facility will also feature a music hall, tasting room, lounge and a multipurpose area, as well as tours — Tia said Fresh Bourbon Distilling Co. is meant to make an impact.

Wiggins Gilliam expects that impact will be both historic and monumental.

“For Fresh to be the [first registered African American owned] distillery is huge,” she said. “We’ll be able to drive by and see it, but what they’re building on is a history that our people have been involved with for hundreds of years.” n

“I have far too much storage space.”

GET ON BOARD LOCALLY MADE CHARCUTERIE BOARDS PROVIDE ARTISTIC, DELECTABLE DISPLAYS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

BY SHANNON CLINTON

I

nstagram is brimming with photos of charcuterie boards laden with stunning, edible displays of meat, crackers and bread, fruit, cheese, nuts, jams and more.

But buying full-sized packages of so many specialty ingredients to put together your own board can quickly add up, as can the time and talent it takes to perfectly arrange it all. Coming to the rescue, several Lexington businesses are offering up their own attention-grabbing charcuterie boards to jazz up your holiday table or to give as a gift.

While the origins of the French word “charcuterie” refer to meat, today’s charcuterie boards can include a multitude of cheeses, nuts and other accompaniments.

Sara Gooden and Lauren Hardesty paired friendship with entrepreneurship when they started their Lexington charcuterie board business, Fête Boards. The business launched on a limited basis about a year ago and has been more popular than either of them originally imagined.

Gooden said she would often bring charcuterie boards as appetizers to parties, and Hardesty suggested making them for others as a business venture. Today, the duo work out of shared commercial kitchen space in the North Limestone restaurant Favor.

Fête Boards owners Lauren Hardesty (left) and Sara Gooden started their custom charcuterie business a little over a year ago and have been evolving the concept since.

Charcuterie boards, offered by a growing number of boutique local businesses, make for a stunning edible display.

PHOTO BY THE MALICOTE STUDIO

Gooden said orders for delivery at a specific time are placed via a web-based system, with boards available in small (serving two-to-four people), large and extra-large sizes, though custom installations can also be arranged.

This year, with COVID safety in mind, the duo catered a wedding with 48 single-serving charcuterie boxes, individually wrapped for each guest.

Their boards, which come with disposable and biodegradable palm leaf platters (unless customers wish to provide their own platters), are also popular as gifts to congratulate new parents, homeowners or as a gesture of sympathy.

Wine + Market owner Renée Saunier Brewer not only offers charcuterie boards as carryout items but also hosts weekly virtual wine tastings that can be paired with a cheese plate.

The shop is also bringing back its popular Advent calendar wine selection this year, with an optional add-on charcuterie kit, she said.

Brewer said people enjoy charcuterie boards because they are both attractive and easy to eat.

“It’s an approachable way to make something that is beautiful but is also culinary at the same time,” she said.

DECEMBER 2020 || SMILEYPETE.COM

Brewer said she likes using different types of cheeses made from cow’s, sheep’s or goat’s milk. She also varies the textures of cheeses included on a board, from soft and creamy to firm, crumbly or hard. A variety of colors is also important to the overall effect, she said, such as a pale goat cheese arranged next to a bright yellow cheddar.

A variety of meats can also be used, like salami and serrano ham and prosciutto di parma. Usually, unless otherwise instructed, Brewer uses two-thirds cheese and one-third meat for each presentation. While staying mindful of allergies or food sensitivities, she often adds an assortment of nuts, as well as dried fruit and pickled options like cornichons, caper berries and olives.

She said she prefers a day’s notice for smaller platters and about three days’ notice for larger orders.

University of Kentucky student Taylor Haynes launched her solo venture, Le Fromage Boards, in July, after her income from babysitting gigs dried up during the pandemic.

She’d been making charcuterie boards for years for events and get-togethers, and with her new-

found extra time, Haynes began making them for herself and her roommates. With positive feedback across the board, she decided to go into business for herself. She found a commercial kitchen she could use and launched social media accounts to promote her offerings.

Haynes arranges the food on acrylic boards customers can keep. She also enjoys setting up “grazing tables” for larger gatherings by laying a swath of butcher paper across a table and artfully arranging a variety of meat, cheeses, crackers and accoutrements on top.

Haynes’ boards range from individual portions to a large board for $95, or a grazing table for a couple hundred dollars. Along with word of mouth, she promotes her business on social media, posting photos and fast-motion videos of herself assembling her creations.

When she graduates, Haynes plans to continue her side business, saying, “it’s something that brings a lot of joy to me.”

At J. Render’s Southern Table & Bar, owner Gwyn Everly offers occasional yet increasingly popular $18.99 charcuterie board specials, which she plans to continue throughout the holidays.

“I always like to have at least three meats and three types of cheese,” she said, including the restaurant’s house-made smoked cheddar, often served alongside a soft cheese and a sharp cheddar. Around these, she arranges assorted nuts, fresh and dried fruits, olives, and assorted crackers, bread or pita, along with condiments like spicy mustard, hot bacon jam and red pepper jam.

One of her favorite additions lately is red chili pistachios.

“Our regulars really went crazy for that,” she said.

Everly also uses social media to pique customers’ interest.

“It’s something that maybe through the winter we may look at adding [to the menu] because it’s the perfect shareable appetizer,” she said.

Though they each still hold full-time jobs, Gooden and Hardesty of Fête Boards have been pleasantly surprised how indemand their services are. They hoped to do about 10 boards during the holidays last year and found themselves doing 24 on Christmas Eve alone, Gooden said.

“I think [they’re popular] because, aesthetically, they’re really pretty, they’re delicious, and there’s a little bit of something for everyone,” Hardesty said. n

Purchasing a pre-made custom charcuterie board can be a great way to impress your guests with minimal effort. Individually portioned charcuterie boards have also become increasingly popular during the pandemic.

NOTABLE NEIGHBOR

Kathryn Schick THROUGH HER BLOG, KENWICK KITCHEN, THIS LOCAL PILOT HAS FOUND A WAY TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS AND SHARE HER LOVE OF COOKING, TRAVEL AND SPONTANEITY

BY TANZI MERRITT PHOTOS BY EMILY GIANCARLO

DECEMBER 2020 || SMILEYPETE.COM

T

he spirit of adventure comes naturally to Kathryn Schick.

A commercial airline pilot for American Airlines, the Kenwick resident is also an avid cyclist who visited all 50 states and 12 countries. She’s also lived in an Airstream trailer, bike-packed around Michigan and slept in a van for multiple days while road-tripping around Alaska and Iceland.

While her newest endeavor – sharing her favorite improvised recipes and stories from her travels via the website and Instagram account Kenwick Kitchen – might seem relatively tame compared to these other global experiences, Schick said honing these new digital skills (photography and web maintenance) has been its own adventure.

This year make the holidays

MERRY & BRIGHT

Among her other discoveries as a food blogger after years of being a casual home cook? Learning to follow and write recipes.

“I cook so much by feel and taste and what’s in my fridge and pantry, I never realized the work that goes into recipe development,” she said.

Traveling, however, has long been an important part of Schick’s existence. Her father was also an airline pilot, and her family often took advantage of the perks that came along with his job.

Kathryn Schick has been a pilot since 2011, and has worked for mainline American Airlines since 2018.

“We would pack up at a moment’s notice and spend a few days wherever we had the opportunity to go,” she said. “I was so lucky to have a chance to see so much of the world.”

Looking at Schick’s career path, one might be inclined to think she always wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps, but her path to the skies was a bit less direct.

“Before training to become a pilot, I rode horses professionally,” she explained. After high school, she briefly attended the University of Kentucky — but unsure of her direction, she soon left UK to pursue her passion of riding full time.

“I loved it, but I came to a point where I knew I wasn’t good enough to make a career of riding, and that’s when my dad suggested I become a pilot,” she recalled.

“My first thought was, ‘I can do that?’ So, I decided to learn to fly, and the first time I flew, I knew it was what I was meant to do.”

Schick enrolled at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where she studied both online and at the Louisville campus, which closed in 2019. “With an international airport and the UPS global hub in Louisville, it’s a great place to train to fly large aircraft,” she said. After graduating, she joined the crew at American Airlines, where she has worked since 2011.

Like so many industries, aviation took a hard hit with

30

DECEMBER 2020 || SMILEYPETE.COM

the onset of COVID. And in March, Schick and her husband, Travers, found themselves abroad needing to quickly make their way home due to the pandemic.

Travers, who builds jumps and courses for equestrian events, was working in Tokyo, constructing courses for the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Kathryn had met him over there.

Exploring has long been part of Schick’s blood. This summer, she embarked on a multi-day bike-packing trip in Michigan with a few of her girlfriends.

PHOTO FURNISHED

“We were there, and all of a sudden we had to quickly get home. Like so many others, we were nervous and afraid and unsure,” she recalled. “The first few days after we got home were hard. Along with the general fear of COVID, we were both unsure of what was happening with our jobs, and things were very uncertain.”

Fortunately for the couple, both soon found out their jobs would be safe in the long term, even though things would look different in the interim. Reductions in travel have kept Schick grounded for the majority of the year. To productively fill time at home, she has dived into gardening and working on some home improvement projects … and she is doing a lot of cooking.

The circumstances surrounding COVID-19 have allowed her the time, and provided the impetus, to take Kenwick Kitchen a bit further by creating an actual website (www.kenwickkitchen.com) to complement the Kenwick Kitchen Instagram account that Schick had started in 2018. The project started as a direct extension of her love of stepping into her kitchen and making a meal out of whatever is available.

“If I could give people only one cooking tip, it’s to not be afraid to modify a recipe or try a new idea.”

“I love to cook with whatever I have lying around,” she explained. “I follow recipes loosely, and I cook on instinct and by experimenting.”

Her recipes tend to reflect that laid-back approach – in one blog entry for a squash blossom quiche recipe, she wrote, “I never want anyone to feel like a recipe isn’t approachable or as if they can’t recreate it because of the absence of one single thing. The base recipe is essentially 6 eggs with 1/2 cup of milk.

That’s it! The rest is all up to you. ... If you don’t have squash blossoms, no problem! Just make it your own with what you have on hand, and share it with someone you love.”

“If I could give people only one cooking tip, it’s to not be afraid to modify a recipe or try a new idea,” Schick said. “Most recipes have a few key ingredients, but the rest are flexible based on the cook’s taste and preference. If you’re cooking and you decide to add something that you have on hand on a whim, it’s hard to go wrong. We all have a sense of what ingredients taste good together, and experimenting is really rewarding when your creation turns out to be delicious.”

Largely influenced by her travels, Schick’s recipes are designed to use simple, fresh ingredients that most people are likely to have on hand. She also focuses on simple cooking techniques that don’t require special tools — an ideal approach for home cooks who want to spice up their repertoire without stepping too far out of their comfort zone.

“I want everyone to feel confident and comfortable in the kitchen and not be overwhelmed by my recipes,” explained Schick.

Followers of Kenwick Kitchen’s Instagram account (@ KenwickKitchen) will notice the Schicks are also fans of “van life,” having rented converted Sprinter vans for many of their outdoor traveling adventures. Being home more this year has provided them the opportunity to work on another dream project: converting their own Mercedes Sprinter van into a small recreational vehicle, fully equipped to road trip in comfort and style.

While Schick is looking forward to getting back to work (she’s currently picking up only occasional flights), she said the time on the ground hasn’t been a loss. In addition to her personal projects, she’s also spent time training to fly several new aircraft models.

“The great thing about flying large aircraft is that there are things that are always the same, in the same place, and the steps you need to take for every flight don’t vary,” she explained. “Still, we train extensively on each type of aircraft, and we know each type of plane we fly well.”

Female pilots are still somewhat rare, but Schick hopes to see that change.

“Women are exceptional at all of the things it takes to be a good pilot – we are intuitive communicators, we listen, we stay calm in crisis, and we are both caring and steady and pay attention to details,” she said. “Women can really excel as pilots, and young women who are interested should definitely pursue a career in aviation and aeronautics.” n

Holiday Roasted Brussels Sprouts RECIPE BY KATHRYN SCHICK, KENWICK KITCHEN PHOTOS BY EMILY GIANCARLO Shake up a classic holiday side dish with unexpected bold flavors and textures. Using a balsamic reduction for garnish not only adds a wonderful visual dimension to the dish, but the sweet and tangy flavors also pair perfectly with the sharp cheddar and roasted sprouts. Make this dish your own by using your choice of nuts and cheese.

Ingredients: • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, sliced in half • 1 large apple for roasting (such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady), chopped • 1 shallot, thinly sliced • 3 tablespoon olive oil • ½ teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder • ½ cup sharp white cheddar cheese, grated • 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped • Balsamic reduction for garnish Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

Slice Brussels sprouts and apple to roughly the same bite-size pieces for even roasting.

Combine the chopped Brussels sprouts, apple, shallot, olive oil and seasonings into a large bowl. Mix well so everything is coated in olive oil and seasonings.

Evenly spread the mixture on the baking tray, careful not to crowd, allowing enough space so the mixture roasts rather than steams. Roast for approximately 15-17 minutes, just until the Brussels sprouts are soft all the way through.

Remove from the oven, and evenly sprinkle walnuts and cheese over the entire sheet tray.

Return to the oven and roast for an additional three-to-five minutes, just until the cheese has melted.

Remove from the oven, and while still hot, drizzle desired amount of balsamic reduction over the top. n

DRINK OF THE MONTH

Espresso Martini RECIPES AND PHOTOS

BY THERESA STANLEY

Martinis are a topic that gives us many fine points to debate: Vodka or gin? Up or on the rocks? Shaken or stirred? Dirty or dry? This version, however, has the ability to bring martini fans (and coffee lovers) together to the same table – with the only real “twist,” or topic of debate, being the optional addition of the lemon zest.

It’s important to note the difference between lemon zest and lemon peel: A traditional “twist” is a sliver of the lemon peel that often includes a bit of the slightly bitter, inner white layer known as the pith, but zest should only include the vibrant oils of the outermost layer of peel. While traditional lemon twists are often used in martinis, adding the entire peel to this cocktail would bring out bitter notes in the coffee, so be sure not to include the pith. A shake of zest brightens the coffee while offering the subtle reminder: This is a martini.

Recipe makes one fine espresso martini, shaken, with zest, served straight up in a frosted glass. Leave the olives in the jar. Cheers!

Ingredients: • 2 ounces espresso, preferably hot • 1 ½ ounces vodka • ½ ounce coffee liqueur • Lemon zest, 1-inch sliver (optional) • Espresso beans, optional garnish Method: Chill martini glass(es) by placing in the freezer.

Prepare espresso. To a shaker add ice, vodka, liqueur, espresso and lemon zest. Shake vigorously until metal is frosty or very cold to touch. Pull martini glass from the freezer. Strain cocktail into glass. If using hot espresso, martini will be foamy.

Top foam with espresso beans for garnish.

Pro tip: The wide availability of espresso powder, which can be prepared in a French press or AeroPress, makes this drink accessible even if you do not have an espresso maker. Strong, hot coffee could also be used in its place. n
