In Episode 3 of Caroline in the Kitchen, I was able to sit down with Eve Aronoff who is the owner and chef at the Kerrytown restaurant Eve. I had never had the opportunity to go to her cozy eatery before so I was of course very excited that she invited me there. Not only did her food blow me away but her hospitality and amicable demeanor very much impressed me.
The first time I heard of Eve was a few years back from a good friend of mine who couldn’t stop talking about the gorgeous interior and divine menu. Stephanie Izard also mentioned to me in our interview that she makes a point to go for a meal whenever she’s in town. Many celebrities visit the restaurant, including all the movie biz people in town right now, and subsequently Ann Arbor is becoming known as a gourmet city.
Eve the restaurant and the person are both great. Go eat there.
Okay, so enough with my infomercial.
You remember how I mentioned eating local? Well, Eve tries to create seasonal menus with a strong base in local food. Where does she recommend shopping? The Farmer’s Market! Luckily I just so happened to meet up with Molly, the manager of the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market, and she told me the best ways for students to shop on a budget at the market.
2 of my favorite tips from Molly:
-Bring your own shopping bags
-Scope out the whole market before you make a purchase because you might find a better deal a few feet away.
I hope that you enjoy our latest episode. Please let me know who you would like me to interview next, any recipes you want to master or restaurants that you would want to see behind-the-scenes.
