In mid-September, we opened a small retail
kitchen store just around the corner from
applewood. We carry many of the items we
use here at the restaurant, in addition to dozens
more that we like to use at home or on the go!
If you haven’t stopped in yet, be sure to visit
the next time you find yourself with a spare
moment or, more importantly, when you’re in
need of pots, knives, cast iron, aprons, spatulas,
tongs, toasters, coffee makers, fondue pots,
kids cooking supplies, locally made pottery,
side towels, peelers, wine glasses, silverware…
(you get the idea).
And, of course, if you don’t see what you’re
looking for, make sure you tell Paul or Oliver
and they’ll be sure to help you out!
When Daniel is not creating delectable
dishes in applewood’s kitchen,
he and his brothers (and a cousin) are promoting their feature-length
documentary,
“What Are We Doing Here?”,
which encourages all of us to change the way we look at Africa,
our involvement in it, and how we “help” the African
nation as a whole.
Daniel and his brother Nicholas were recently interviewed on CNN’s
Inside Africa.
Their work is moving and powerful and should not be missed.
