Note from Katie & Jane N O V E M B E R 2014

T here's something magical about November and its call to give thanks. Here at Matchbook we count down the days to Thanksgiving each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the mashed potatoes, the good company, the spirit of graciousness in the air. Breaking bread with the ones you love never goes out of style, and from colorful place settings to mouth-watering recipes, our November issue seeks to make this Thanksgiving holiday one to remember. Looking for some tasty autumnal dishes? We grilled Washington-based food blogger Ashley Rodriguez of Not Without Salt on her fall feasting necessities. Her scrumptious spiced cider toddy recipe is sure to warm you up, and don't even get us started on her bacon and corn chanterelle chowder. Give them a try; your guests will thank you.

Wondering how to make your invites the most memorable? Cover girls Kate Wyman and Anna Boyer of Grove Street Press create paper goods with major flair. The two darling cousins invited us into their New Orleans boutique for a glimpse behind the letterpress curtain. Their pup, Mildred, won over our hearts and we have a feeling she'll steal yours too.

Puzzled about how to accessorize this holiday season? Kelsea Slade of K.slademade has made-in-America style in spades. The Indiana-native proudly designs and manufactures her chic handbags in the good ole USA. You can count on us toting her polka dot clutches to Thanksgiving dinner.

Here's to sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and second helpings of turkey, KATIE + JANE

N OT without SALT PHOTOGRAPHY BY

Ashley Rodriguez

If you're looking for some scrumptious fall recipes to add your November feast, ASHLEY RODRIGUEZ of food blog Not Without Salt is the answer to your Thanksgiving prayers. We have long been fans of the Washington-based blogger's wholesome concoctions and are thrilled to be sharing a few fall favorites. No amateur foodie, Ashley got her start plating desserts at Los Angeles's iconic restaurant Spago. Today she prides herself on whipping upÂ "simple, classic, and nutritious" meals for her three children and husband in their cozy northwest home. Be sure to check out Ashley's upcoming book, Date Night In, which is now available for preorder and lands on bookshelves everywhere December 23. Until then, we'll be satisfying our sweet tooth with her Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie mix. It is truly heaven on a baking sheet! 20

This is where summer and fall collide. Where the cool evenings justify a warm bowl of soup. A meeting of sweet, crisp corn and wilted chanterelles that smell of woods and earth. Bacon and thyme reiterate that earthiness before dill showers over the light creamy broth, bringing with it a fleeting freshness. Really, it’s more fall than summer in this bowl but it is nice to shuck one more cob, tangle with its silky whiskers and pop a few sweet and starchy kernels into my mouth before they soften in the soup. CHANTE RE L LE CH OW D E R wi t h BACON

I’m not quite ready for the heft of a typical chowder made thick with roux so mine is more broth-focused than creamy but you can change that if you’d like. Also, I’ve brought my love of beer to the bowl by deglazing with a lightly colored wheat. The second round of this soup I made the mistake of deglazing with a pungent and hoppy IPA which made the soup bitter. So go with something light or use white wine instead. A large batch of spiced apple cider simmering on the stove serves two purposes. First of all, it promises a comforting fall drink, and, second, it scents the home with a smell that is quintessentially fall. My grown-up version is pleasantly spiced with fresh ginger, cinnamon, and cloves and adds a shot of whiskey, bourbon, or Calvados on those nights when a little extra warmth is needed. S PI CED CIDER TODDY

As much as I love the cozy warmth that braises, roasts and long simmered stews provide, I grow tired of them. A few years ago I realized that much of what is in season during the winter tastes great simple sliced and eaten raw. It offers a fresh bite and crisp crunch that is often lacking in my cold month diet. This salad features raw fennel and it’s toasted seeds that scent the tangy vinaigrette. Thinly shaved Gruyere adds the perfect bit of nuttiness and heft that this light salad needs. A very welcomed, fresh meal this time of year.

CHANTERELLE CHOWDER with BACO N INGREDIENTS: 4 strips bacon, thinly sliced 1 onion, diced 1/2 bulb fennel, diced 3 garlic cloves, sliced 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 2 – 2 1/2 cups (6 ounces) roughly chopped chanterelles 1/2 cup (4 ounces) wheat beer or white wine 2 1/2 cups (1 pound 4 ounces) chicken or vegetable stock 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) cubed (1” inch) yellow potatoes (2 small/ medium) 1 cup corn kernels (6 ounces) (fresh or frozen) 3/4 cup (6 ounces) cream 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill salt and pepper 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice DIRECTIONS: • Cook the bacon in a large dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat until the fat renders and it just starts to crisp, 5-7 minutes. • Add the onion, fennel and garlic with a pinch of salt then saute for an additional 7 minutes until the onions are translucent. • Turn the heat to medium-high then add the thyme and chanterelles. Saute until caramelized in parts, 3-5 minutes. Deglaze with the beer (or wine), scraping up the browned bits off the bottom. • Add the stock and potatoes, bring to a simmer 22

matchbook

then cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. • Add the corn and cream and simmer just until the corn is cooked through. • Stir in dill, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper. Finish with lemon juice then taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. • NOTE: For a thicker chowder stir in 2 1/2 teaspoons flour before you add the beer or wine. Cook the flour for 1 minute so the finished soup doesn’t have a raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the beer or wine then proceed as written.

SPICED CIDER TODDY

A shley

INGREDIENTS: Spiced Cider 2 cups / 470 ml apple cider 1 stick cinnamon 4 whole cloves 2-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons honey Toddy 4 ounces / 120 ml whiskey, bourbon, or apple brandy (such as Calvados) Ground cinnamon or toasted cinnamon sticks, for garnish DIRECTIONS: Spiced Cider â&#x20AC;˘ Bring the apple cider, cinnamon stick, cloves, ginger, and honey to a simmer in a small saucepan. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. This can be made up to 3 days before you plan on enjoying the cocktail and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Toddy â&#x20AC;˘ Warm the spiced cider in a small saucepan over medium heat, if needed. Divide the spiced cider between two warm mugs. Stir in half of the whiskey to each and then garnish with freshly ground cinnamon or a toasted cinnamon stick.

FENNEL and APPLE SALAD with TOASTED FENNEL VINAIGRETTE INGREDIENTS: 1 teaspoon fennel (use whole seed that you’ve toasted and ground, if possible) 1 teaspoon mustard ½ teaspoon honey 2 tablespoons lemon juice ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil salt and pepper 4 cups assorted greens, washed and dried 1 apple, thinly sliced (something tart like Pink Lady or Granny Smith) 1/2 fennel bulb, thinly sliced 1/2 cup toasted walnut halves 1 ounce Gruyere, Pecorino or Parmesan

DIRECTIONS: • In a bowl combine the fennel, mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Whisk to combine. While whisking those ingredients drizzle in the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. • Drizzle the dressing onto fresh greens (I used arugula and butter lettuce). Top that with thinly sliced apple, fennel and toasted walnuts. Finish it all off with shavings of Gruyere.

I like the adventure of it all; it's been a fun ride and I am excited to see what is ahead. Â

THE GIRLS' DISTINCTIVE SOUTHERN SENSIBILITY SHINES THROUGH EVERY ASPECT OF THE BUSINESS, FROM THEIR EYE-CATCHING SHOP FACADE TO THEIR CAJUN-INSPIRED DESIGNS (DON'T MISS THE OYSTERS!). MATCHBOOK VENTURED ON DOWN TO LOUISIANA TO SEE THE LETTERPRESS DARLINGS IN ACTION.

W H AT D I D Y O U L O V E A B O U T GROWING UP IN L AKE CHARLES, L O U I S I A N A ?

KATE: The long, muggy summers stick out the most. We would spend all day in our bathing suits on Anna's family wharf, setting crab traps in between taking dips in the lake or spins on the boat. We would regularly meet at our grandmother's house, where she'd serve us milk in tea cups before we'd head out on an adventure through the woods. HOW HAS THE SOUTH ENCED YOUR ST YLE?

I N F L U-

WHERE DID LETTERPRESS?

LEARN

ANNA: You can't be too fussy in the South; the humidity doesn't allow for it. Those same long, muggy summers that made childhood fun also make dressing up a little tricky. It's hard to be put together if you're worried about the humidity, but it also forces style decisions. There is a gentility in the South that makes it acceptable to be dressed nicely for both the grocery store and going out on the town, so that's often our default. One local antiques dealer was famous for saying the right accessories make an outfit appropriate for both "Schwegmann's [a local grocery store] or the opera." We apply this style mantra to cards, too. There's no occasion when a handmade, hand-addressed greeting isn't appropriate. YOU

K: I was given a printing press right after I graduated from college, which I moved to a small shed behind my parents' house on Grove Street. I spent the summer getting its frozen gears to budge. As I refurbished Patsy (a Chandler and Price from 1910, named for Patsy Cline, who I had been playing the moment the flywheel finally started to spin!) I taught myself its mechanics and the basics of printing. I moved to Chicago within the next year and left my press behind. To keep my interest in printing alive, I apprenticed at Starshaped Press. Jen, the owner of Starshaped, prints using only handset antique wood and lead type. She passed on the skill of hand-setting type to me, and significantly deepened my respect for the rich history of printing. The rest of my knowledge has come through trial and error and learning the particular quirks of each of our presses. W H AT I N S P I R E D Y O U T O L AUNCH GROVE STREET PRESS?

A: Our mothers are sisters, and they are both avid collectors of American antiques and folk art. 52

matchbook

We grew up surrounded by Shaker furniture, shelves of old books, jelly cupboards filled with vintage duck decoys, and many other products that were handcrafted in America. We feel at home around antiques, and our presses are antiques that we use every day. We work with them to make our own contribution to the American handcraft movement today.Â When we were young and would get restless on shopping trips with our moms, Kate and I would entertain ourselves by imagining our own future store and by picking out the types of things we would sell. It wasn't until Kate found letterpress that those games became a possible reality, and we knew what kind of store it would be! HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR C H A R M I N G L O C AT I O N ?

A: We wandered the streets of New Orleans for days! We were interested in certain neighborhoods, and we systematically drove up and down all the streets in these neighborhoods, writing down the number on every "For Rent" sign we passed. Of course, the very last place we visited ended up being the perfect fit. We're located on one of 54

matchbook

the only cobblestone streets left in the city, in what used to be an old elevator parts supply company, right in between the Warehouse District and the Arts District. The neighborhood really reflects our craft: a blend of industry, design, and preservation. We were also told recently that part of our neighborhood used to be the printing district, which I hope is true— makes it even more meant to be! W H AT D O Y O U L O V E M O S T ABOUT NEW ORLEANS?

K: New Orleans makes it easy to feel like you are part of a story that's larger than your own. When you're in the French Quarter, surrounded by the wrought iron and horse buggies, or Uptown, near the streetcar and centuries-old oak trees, there's no question that you're playing a part in the city's narrative. The city is growing and changing by the day, but it has an unflinching dedication to its traditions, and the participation in these traditions—the active, hollering for beads in a Mardi Gras parade, or the passive, strolling past a mansion in the Garden District—tie you to the generations of residents that have come 56

before. There's a certain sense of mystery in this, but I think it's the sense of community that stretches through time that makes the residents of New Orleans so warm. CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THESE PRINTING PRESSES OF YOURS?

K: We have three printing presses. Patsy still resides on Grove Street in Lake Charles, and we have two presses in our New Orleans shop: a new style Chandler and Price, and a Vandercook SP-15. We purchased an entire print shop sight unseen off the Internet, with all its odds and ends, including everything from a turn-ofthe-century guillotine paper cutter down to leftover ink cleaner and rags) sight unseen off the Internet. A hobbyist printer in upstate New York was no longer able to print, and he was anxious for it to go to someone who would appreciate it. The thousands of pounds of steel equipment and lead parts made the trek across the country in a moving truck, and we've given them a new life. W H AT H A S B E E N Y O U R FAVORITE PRINTING PROJECT T O D AT E ?

matchbook

A: Well, lately we've transitioned business models a bit, which has changed the nature of our projects. While we had been doing lots of custom work, we recently began a break from them to focus on the expansion of our retail line and our line sheet. The time we have spent seeing our own designs come to life—ones we shaped from start to finish—has really been our favorite. After spending hours tweaking digital designs and reviewing the proofs just as they are printed from a regular desktop printer, the moment that we pull the first print off the old press is our favorite moment over and over again. The satisfaction of a crisply printed design never gets old. W H AT ' S A T Y P I C A L W E E KD AY L I K E F O R Y O U ?

K: We both start our morning with a walk in Audubon Park before heading into the shop. Once we hang our wreaths and our open sign on the door, we let the to-do list dictate the character of the day. Some days are more hands-on, with lots of printing and packaging orders, and some are spent in front of the computer, answering emails and dealing with 60

business matters. Every day, though, we have customers pop in. Our presses are on display in the middle of our shop, which adds a museum quality to our retail section, and our printing and emailing is often interrupted by curious passers-by. Even if they're not in the market for a card, visitors want to see the press in action or pull out the drawers of lead type in the cases that are on display. We love these moments so, so much! We want customers to leave with an appreciation and understanding of the craft of letterpress more than anything else. Our favorite part of the day may be the break we schedule to take a picture for Instagram. We both love to stage knick-knacks and to style pictures. Finding new ways to snap an image of our shiny bangles with old, worn type is the perfect way to take a break from our tasks while still flexing our creative muscles. If we leave the shop at a decent hour, we love to unwind over an oldfashioned before heading home. We've been conducting a long-running, 62

ongoing old-fashioned taste test, and we love to try a new place, or sip a tried and true. W H AT I N S P I R E D T H E SIGN OF YOUR SHOP?

D E-

A: We wanted to incorporate the printing presses and type cases into the decor of the shop while keeping their functionality intact. There's no dressing up the presses. They're beautiful machines, but they still look like machines, so it was best to embrace that semi-industrial look. We want the shop to look like what a real printshop would have looked like in 1900 . . . if it had been owned by two J.Crew enthusiasts who grew up on the bayou. Joking! But only kind of . . .

K: Mildred Yvonne (named for our great aunt Mildred Yvonne) is a parti-colored labradoodle with an extremely mild temperament and loads of personality. Our Mildred card line is meant to be funny, but Mildred herself is such a lady! She greets customers daintily, and we could really see her overpacking for weekend trips with her puppy friends, or putting matchbook

Truthfully, I also still use some of the engraved, cream monogram stationery that my grandmother gifted me for my high school graduation—there was so much of it! A: My stationery is museum board with a navy edge, printed with just my first name in all caps. The kraft envelopes are lined with navy gingham.

We actually won my wedding dress through a Valentine's Day Contest by The White Gown. We had to share our love story, and we were selected as one of the three finalists. In order to win, we had to share our story on Facebook and have the most "likes". We ended up with over 600 likes! The dress is a Jim Hjelm dress. MY DRESS

We added many elements of "us" to the wedding in small details. Our ceremony was "us" because we had the amazing Father Mark Bozzuti-Jones at Trinity Wall Street. The reception was "us" because we used wine corks to support the seating cards (we love wine!) and played songs from everything from Frank Sinatra to Hip Hop. IT FELT VERY "US" BECAUSE
