Marcie Blaine included in Philly.com's Foodie Gifts
included in
FOR THE FANCY CHOCOHOLIC
There are lowbrow chocoholics (like in a "Cathy" cartoon) and then there are discerning chocoholics. You know there's one of the latter on your list. As if Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran don't show off enough talents in their 13th Street food empire, they also make the best artisan chocolates in the city, sold under the Marcie Blaine label (16-piece Holiday Collection, $29.95). They use local, organic cream and butter, as well as seasonal produce, herbs and honey. And they boast cute little images of Philadelphia icons such as LOVE, the Liberty Bell and our skyline. The raspberry ganache, concord grape-balsamic, blood orange-olive oil, and amazing peppermint chocolates are just a few favorites.
Marcie Blaine Artisanal Chocolates available at Verde
108 South 13th Street, Philadelphia
Open Mon-Sat 11am to 8pm, Sunday 12pm to 6pm

MARCIE BLAINE: Sesame Truffles & Bows
Today Sarah, the lovely intern in our little chocolate kitchen, is whipping up a batch of our sesame truffles. Below is a little before, and a little after. And below that: a new look for our "Classic" chocolates. A collection of colorful bows for Spring and Mother's Day!

April on 13th Street
Greetings from 13th street! Spring has finally sprung and we’re happy it’s finally here. Outdoor seating is back, the windows are wide open and everyone is out and about. Marcie has just returned from Fleisher's Grass-fed Organic Meats in Kingston, NY, where she took a nose to tail butchering class. She's ready to start ordering whole animals for use in all of our restaurants.
Stay tuned...
At Verde and Open House we have been trying to keep up with all of the new spring merchandise that arrives daily. From new sandals and scarves at Verde, to new heirloom vegetable seeds and a fresh batch of Orla Kiely handbags at Open House, it all says spring.
We have a few events that should not be missed in the next month:
4/19: Thali Tuesday at Bindi
4/20: Barbuzzo Wine Dinner, featuring the wines of the Piedmont region of Italy
4/18-23: Easter Chocolates at Marcie Blaine Artisanal Chocolates on sale
4/28: Dining out for Life at Bindi, Lolita, & Barbuzzo (33% of your meal cost donated to Action Aids)
Hope to see you on the block! Val & Marcie

MARCIE BLAINE: Chocolate-making @ theFeast.com
Marcie recently showed theFeast.com how to make our Philadelphia-inspired chocolates...
"We all know Marcie Turney's story by now—starting in 2004 with the humble beginnings of her little B.Y.O.B.-that-could, Lolita, to the utter and complete dominance of 13th Street that she enjoys today, capped off by the Beard Award-nominated Barbuzzo which opened last summer.
What people might not know, though, is that in between owning seven restaurants and storefronts along the Midtown Village corridor, Turney turns out the finest chocolate in Philadelphia. Tucked away in the back of her popular boutique, Verde, Marcie Blaine Chocolates was recently named as one of Oprah's favorite sweets.
Turney's chocolates are all hand-made and done in true cheffy style, featuring flavors like madras curry, cardamom marshmallow, and elderflower. Check out the video for a behind the scenes look at how Turney works the magic that melts the heart of the most powerful woman on the planet." [The Feast]

MARCIE BLAINE: oh my ganache!
We've survived "The Holidays" and Valentine's Day, and now we can return to a (somewhat) normal pace! Making ganaches, rolling, dipping, wrapping bark, filling orders...
