LIFESTYLE LETTER

Local Love

February 2022 PUBLISHER

Douglas McDermott douglas.mcdermott@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Our February edition is dedicated to sharing love of local products, services and activities in our area. With the hectic schedules we often keep, it's easy to let our hobbies, talents and special interests fall by the wayside. We just have to be deliberate about allowing ourselves time to pour into interests that recharge us. So, while you fill your home with chocolates, flowers and valentines (and perhaps college basketball) this month, remember to give yourself some time to do what you love. Find what makes you feel alive, and don’t forget to share it with us. And while you are at it, don’t forget to shop local and support our local makers and artists right here in our community. We also look forward to West Chester's new traffic light system, which borough staffers say they'll be able to program from their computers -which wasn't possible with the former system. Public Works Director Al Vennettilli promises: “You'll be able to drive through the borough and get all green lights, and not stop at every signal light, at a programed speed." Won't we love that?

Enforcement Of Single-Use Plastic Ordinance Is Underway West Chester's ordinance that bans the use of single-use plastic bags and straws is in full effect. It specifically bans commercial establishments from distributing plastic bags and drinking straws within the borough. It officially was passed during the summer of 2019, after a convincing presentation from Friends School students on the ills of plastic waste. Several state-mandated extensions delayed its implementation. Businesses were granted a six-month adjustment period to transition supplies and prepare new processes.

luxury pet grooming and boarding FULL-SERVICE PET KENNELS, SPA AND DAYCARE HOME AWAY FROM HOME ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF ROBINSON

Pet lovers understand the unwavering dedication to four-legged buddies — and so does the professional team at Lucie’s Barkingham Palace in Malvern. What better time to make your dog(s) or cat(s) your beloved Valentine than during February? One way to do that is to treat them to their very own spa or play date. “We offer a pleasant environment and friendly atmosphere that your pet is sure to enjoy,” assures owner Lucie Greco. Jillian Golda, Lucie’s manager, says Barkingham Palace dog guests have access to both indoor and outdoor daycare facilities and play or exercise equipment. Palace daycare club packages can be secured for five, 10 or 20 days. They are happy to board cats, as well.

HERE’S WHAT BARKINGHAM PALACE CUSTOMERS OFFER VIA ONLINE REVIEWS OF THEIR PETS’ VISITS THERE: • “My former groomer, who retired, recommended Lucy’s. I was very nervous about changing groomers but the minute I walked in the door, I was put at ease by every employee there. The facility was clean and well staffed. I was greeted by my groomer who made me and my

little dog feel special. She listened to my needs, and made my dog feel comfortable. She explained the timeline, and I left feeling good about leaving little B in her care. When I arrived to pick her up I was amazed at the professional job she did on B. Stunning.” • “I love that I have finally found a reliable and friendly groomer to take my cat, Radish, to. He’s a nervous wreck on the way but always leaves calm and happy, which goes to how well they treat him there. I definitely recommend taking your pet.” • “We have a Jack Russel who is very fearful of people and other dogs in general. Knowing we would need to go away for a few days, we contacted Lucie’s, and left Payton there for one night to get used to it. The staff was fantastic in observing what made it difficult for him (separation from us, for example) and how to address the situation. We left him there a second time and we couldn’t believe how happy our dog was and how he loved the staff members. Lucie’s is a place where people are truly worried about your pet and how to accommodate their needs.” CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/WE STC HE ST E R PA

• “Lucie is the only one who knows how to correctly hand strip our terriers. She’s the best.” • “Everyone is very friendly and my dogs love going there.” • “We had a wonderful experience with Lucie’s Barkingham Palace. Our dog Sammy stayed there while we were on vacation. This was his first time being away from us for that long. They greeted him and us very warmly and friendly. They are very professional. We had an opportunity to stay one more night and they accommodated him for one more night. He did have some issues with the other dogs barking, so they made him more comfortable in an area by himself. We will definitely be back again to board him. Thank you so much!” • “I own an Irish Terrier and her coat requires hand stripping on a regular basis to maintain its wiry texture and red color. Not only was Lucie the only groomer out of five places I contacted with hand stripping experience, but she also had first hand knowledge of the breed, which gave me a lot of confidence. Lucie has truly done an amazing job keeping our Darby girl looking every bit of her breed standard and I would not trust her to anyone else in south east PA. Darby’s coat looks as beautiful as it did when I adopted her as a retired show dog. I will definitely return in the future.” • “Coco had a hair cut @thebarkingham_palace. Absolutely loved it! His groomer was good with him. Love going to a place that treats my dogs as if they were their own. Forever customers right here!”

CHOCOLATE EQUALS HAPPINESS Some Of The Earth’s Best, Feel-Good, Favorite Treat For Valentine’s Day Is Created Locally

Master Chocolatier Christopher Curtin

M AK E R’S ST U D IO | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

“Chocolate is extremely interesting, design-wise, in overall food creation. The countries of origin for chocolate, and the people involved, are captivating.” One of the world’s best chocolate creation companies is located in West Chester, yielding unique products that enable enthusiasts to partake in delightful taste-testing and cultural trips around the globe with each bite. Eating chocolate also releases a feel-good neurotransmitter into particular regions of the brain. Master Chocolatier Christopher Curtin, owner of artisanal company Éclat Chocolate in West Chester, is more than pleased to share his art and 20-plus years of experience to make customers even happier -- especially during February, the month of love. For gifts, he assures they will have heart-shaped boxes available for preselected chocolate assortments of nine, 16 or 25 pieces. Éclat chocolate satisfies fans near and far. At presstime, Éclat confections even were being shipped to Japan, and Christopher says other chocolate companies continue to copy their creative methods and executions. “Chocolate is extremely interesting, design-wise, in overall food creation,” reveals Christopher. “The countries of origin for chocolate, and the people involved, are captivating. Many of them are third- or fourth-generation farmers, and they understand why I want to create specialties with their crops.” As a bean-to-bar chocolatier, he says he enjoys securing different varieties and sizes of cacao beans, and especially seeks out farmers and sources for hybrids or beans grown in the wild. In fact, he has personal relationships with cacao farmers in far-off locations, such as Mexico, Peru, West Africa, Bolivia and Nicaragua, and has cultivated a well-honed and large network of distributors who know he likes exclusive beans. He’s frequently visited many farms to hand-select or test beans. “Oftentimes, I start with a select taste or texture I’d like to achieve and work backward to determine the best fresh ingredients to combine. Being American born and European trained, I don’t apply limits to imagination. We also have single-origin bars,

“I think about what story I want each small piece to tell.” and we sometimes age our beans for up to a year before using them in quality ways,” says the chocolate-maker who’s been headquartered from West Chester for 17 years. Starting from his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, Christopher then trained at the House of les Compagnons du Devoir, the premier guild for pastry chefs in France. He says he worked alongside the best journeyman pastry chefs in Europe and became the first American to be awarded the honor of German Master Pastry Chef and Chocolatier in Cologne, Germany. “I also was influenced by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a fellow Wisconsin native, who had an organic approach to designing, sort of mid-century modern flair. I’m always seeking to improve the experience that consumers have with our chocolates,” says Christopher, who adds that they deliberately chose West Chester from which to reside and work, due to its certain style of Old-World charm. It takes approximately 400 cocoa beans to make a pound of chocolate. Christopher typically selects from the top 5% of one of the world’s rarest and most prized cacao crops to create bars that marry the purity and smoothness of the chocolate with the earthy appeal of the beans’ deliciously bitter cocoa nibs. “I like to produce whimsical flavors,” Christopher admits. “And bars or pieces that have two flavors in one so consumers can have fun with them. Like our Good & Evil Nibs, which are super silky from our direction but honestly raw cocoa flavor from another.” He says he also pays attention to creating different textures and shapes, while using various styles of roasting the beans. “I think about what story I want each small piece to tell.” One aspect of which Christopher is especially proud is that they were among the first U.S. chocolate companies to deliberately use plant-based elements, such as beets, to airbrush their chocolates with a variety of hues. “They are a milder color, which blend completely into the flavors of the chocolate. It makes our chocolate exotic, yet very approachable. We also use only clear trays to not contaminate the chocolates’ exquisite flavors through a point of contact,” he adds.

ÉCLAT HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE É C L AT H OT C H O CO L ATE B A S E : • 4 cups whole milk • 1 1/4 cups Éclat Dark Chocolate • 1 tablespoon Éclat Cocoa Powder

P R E PA R ATI O N :

Bring milk to a boil. Infuse milk with desired spices or herbs (recommendations follow). All herbs should be infused into the milk and strained before the chocolate and cocoa powder is added. When working with dried and fresh herbs, always re-measure after straining to make sure you have the proper amount of liquid. For an even better hot chocolate, use an electric hand mixer or whisk to add foam into the hot chocolate before serving. The fresh herbs should be added when the cream is at its hottest and steep like you would any tea. This is also a great time to adjust the amount of flavor. After straining hot milk, pour slowly into the cocoa powder and whisk vigorously until there are no more lumps. Melt chocolate in bowl. Pour 1/3 of the liquid into the melted chocolate. Mix so as to obtain a smooth, elastic and shiny texture, then pour the rest of the liquid while making sure to preserve this texture, and strain into a pan. Heat the chocolate mixture just before a boil, whipping vigorously to obtain a light and creamy froth.

P O S S I B LE H E R B S A N D S P I C E S F O R I N F U S I N G I NTO A H OT C H O CO L ATE :

Lemon mint, chocolate mint, rosemary, thyme, fresh ginger, dried herbs, cinnamon, lavender, Earl Grey tea, Aleppo Chili, Peruvian Aji Panca Chili, Balinese long pepper, allspice, star anise, cardamom, sichuan peppercorn or a pinch of salt.

Heritage Home Interiors ACCESSORIZE TO CREATE HOMES WITH WHICH TO FALL IN LOVE OVER AND OVER

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY BY HERITAGE DESIGN INTERIORS

It’s already time to think about how to freshen rooms with seasonal accessories for this upcoming spring, reminds Anita Yoder, owner of Heritage Design Interiors. “Clients are securing spring florals and wreaths, and our team of professionals is assisting with selections of new pottery, window treatments,

O PE N H OU SE | HOM E + DE S I GN

pillows, throws and other décor ideas. Because it can now take eight to nine months after ordering new furniture, it helps to stay ahead of changing seasons,” Anita says, who started her interior design company in 1990. Starting with updates to interior design basics is like having that great, little black dress, she says. “The dress is fabulous, but becomes so much better with the right shoes, jewelry and purse.” While new “colors of the year” may be trending, such as Pantone’s ‘Very Peri,’ Anita encourages

everyone to first consider their personal preferences. “Your own tastes and individual lifestyle is the current trend to truly follow.” She says black, polished brass and gold are still making a comeback. Large or small projects, no matter the style desired, Anita says the mission is to leave clients with customized spaces that are “comfortable, coordinated and functional.” She says for those who enjoy routinely changing up their ambiance, huge differences can be made

by switching out artwork or simply painting a wall a different color. To that end, the Heritage team provides at-home color consultations.

LOOKING FOR FABULOUS HOME DÉCOR? The Heritage Home retail store offers accent furniture and creative accessories, including pottery, mirrors, lamps, artwork, candle holders, decorative plates and vases. Located in an historic 1800s inn, Anita says the store is also the perfect setting to shop for window treatments, with more than 1,000 fabrics and many styles. “You’ll also find coordinating fabrics for upholstery, bedding and more. From selecting and measuring to

O PE N H OU SE | HOM E + DE S I GN

ordering and installation, we take care of all of the details,” promises Anita. This award-winning interior designer team, based from New Holland, serves clients in Chester, Lancaster and Berks counties, including new construction, office designs, lobbies or remodeling projects. “When decorating your home or office, little things make a big difference. An elegant rug, a wellplaced mirror, the perfect flower arrangement or a few accent pillows can turn an ordinary room into one that pops with personality,” assures Anita. 717.354.2233 | HeritageDesignInteriors.com

West Chester-based Advanced Medical Homecare Supplies carries Cannabidiol (CBD) oils and edibles from Green Roads, both broad- and full-spectrum products. AMHS President Michael Hanlon says CBD is known to assist with symptoms of pain, anxiety, nausea/digestive issues, irritated skin, trouble sleeping and other ailments. Health professionals confirm that CBD binds with receptors in human endocannabinoid systems to wake up and strengthen people's immune systems naturally. Michael says Green Roads manufactures the highest quality, pharmacist-formulated CBD products on the market from the company's Florida headquarters. "Their products are tested by an independent lab to ensure consistency in potency and purity," he says.
