2012-Taste-Of-St-Croix-Program.Pdf Taste After Party Tonight! THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2012 • 6–9 PM • DIVI CARINA BAY RESORT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ST. CROIX FOUNDATION Celebrating St. Croix This year’s A Taste of St. Croix tribute can go out to none other than St. Croix itself. Over the years, the resilience and commitment of the people of St. Croix has proven itself time and time again. Creating a sense of family and unity, strength against all odds, the people of St. Croix are to be celebrated. The Unity. We are called The Big Island, but St. Croix has a feeling of closeness and unity. There is a sense of family among neighbors, coworkers, and even on the roads of St. Croix, where you can hear the distinct “toot toot” of the honk of car horns encouraging others to go before them. Working together to make a difference for the greater good: the people of St. Croix believe in each other and in our island. That is unity. It is St. Croix. The Strength of the people of St. Croix is unique; people talk to one another on the Big Island, we look each other in the eye, and feel the challenges and the triumphs that one another experience. There is no stronger and happier sound than someone laughing on a beach on St. Croix. The voices of St. Croix, strong and true, are testimony to their conviction that St. Croix is special and that its beauty, history, and future must be protected. The Community. St. Croix has come together, year after year, rising above natural disasters, political firestorms, economic recessions, and through it all has become all the stronger, a diverse and beautiful gem in the Caribbean. A Taste of St. Croix celebrates not just the amazing hospitality industry that keeps St. Croix’s special flavor alive, but our Community. As we have every year, for the last 12 years, we celebrate all that is St. Croix. We thank you for being here tonight and supporting us in our efforts to contribute to our beautiful island. A toast to Community! To St. Croix! Welcome to the 12th Anniversary A Taste of St. Croix celebrates the spirit and flavor of St. Croix by pooling culinary artisans from more than 50 local chefs, restaurants and eateries. The event, which was the brainchild of two local restaurateurs, was started as a way to celebrate the diverse and delectable cuisine and culture of St. Croix with its influences from all over the Caribbean and the world. Today, the Taste is known nationally and abroad as one of the finest food and wine events in the Caribbean. It was the catalyst for the St. Croix Food and Wine Experience, named by Forbes Traveler one of the “top 10 interna- tional food and wine events.” A Taste of St. Croix has attracted thousands of guests including international winemakers, rum distillers, brewers, and celebrity chefs, who are all able to drink in the culture and vibe of our amazing island. A Taste of St. Croix is a night of true elegance, art, culture, laughter… and a spectacular good time. Most proceeds go to benefit the ST. CROIX FOUNDATION A Taste of St. Croix also contributes to and funds several restaurant and service industry related services and training, in addition to many civic, art and cultural events that help keep St. Croix vibrant. As a benefit for the community, most proceeds from Taste are directed to the St. Croix Foundation. As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical community founda- tion, the St. Croix Foundation provides leadership and acts as a catalyst in bringing together diverse groups to discuss problems and forge solutions. The Foundation is making an impact because we leverage funds raised from concerned citizens and encourage greater philanthropic activity through increasing public awareness of current and emerging needs in in our commu- nity. We appreciate your support. Together we can make a difference! 1 MANY THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR THEIR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT: Bellows International Centerline Car Rental Dionysus Distributing Divi Carina Bay Resort & Casino Italian VI Trading Jan Mitchell JKC Communications Quality Food Lighthouse Mission Luca Gasperi Merchants Market Premier Wines & Spirits Prestige Wine Group Reliable Rentals Seaborne Airlines Sugar Estate Distributing Terri Wunschel, Grass Hut Design The Buccaneer U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department VisitStCroix.com Watkins PR, Jane Watkins West Indies Corporation Booklet designed & printed by: VisitStCroix.com The Island’s Leading Internet Destination— celebrating 14 years of service.

  • Throw a Party of One. Chef Anita Lo Is Serving up Delicious Recipes for Self
    marketwatch.com/story/this-michelin-rated-chef-says-cooking-for-yourself-is-the-best-self-care-2018-10-30-11883742 By Jeanette Settembre Throw a party of one. Chef Anita Lo is serving up delicious recipes for self-love in her new cookbook: “Solo: A Modern Cookbook for a Party of One,” (Knopf, 2018) devoted to embracing those solitary moments in life. “It’s about celebrating you,” Lo told Moneyish of her second cookbook, out Tuesday. “We all need a little bit of time for ourselves. It’s nice to eat with people, but more often than not these days -- even if you’re in a long term relationship -- sometimes your spouses are working and you have to cook something for yourself.” Lo, a first generation Chinese-American who grew up in Birmingham, MI., has cooked in some of the world’s most renowned kitchens, including Bouley and Chanterelle in New York City. She opened her own restaurant in 2000, Annisa, serving upscale contemporary American cuisine in Greenwich Village for 17 years up until it closed last year. She held a Michelin star for nine consecutive years, served on “Top Chef Masters,” and became the first female guest chef to cook at the White House in 2015 for the Obamas. Now she’s here to tell eaters that solo meals don’t have to be boring or defrosted in a microwave, positioning herself as the ideal candidate to write the book. “I’ve been dumped almost as many times as I’ve been in relationships -- and I can count those on less than two hands … that’s a lot of solo meals,” she writes in the book.

    ndless stretches of unspoiled wilderness, dotted across 37,000 acres. Ten miles E of the historic Blackfoot River. Three hundred head of resident elk. All nestled beneath the most brilliant starlit sky you’ve ever seen. While the beauty of Montana is unparalleled, if you ask us, it’s the people of The Resort at Paws Up® who make this a place you want to return to again and again. We love hearing from our guests and seeing The Resort through their eyes. And more often than not, it’s not just the things they did or the sights they saw—it was the staff member they were with who really made their experience special. We’re so fortunate to work with people who are passionate about what they do and love nothing more than to share their wisdom with others—whether our guests are seasoned pros or trying something for the very first time. Paws Up is home to chefs who don’t just place an order for supplies—they forage for ingredients in the forest. Our adventure guides go above and beyond to make sure that our guests have the time of their lives doing things they’ve never done before. And our wranglers consider this not just a job, but an honored family heritage that spans back generations. This is also a place brimming with artists and craftspeople who could find inspiration anywhere, and they choose to be here. It’s been said that we don’t remember the words that someone says to us, but we remember how they made us feel.
