Spring up your Home!  
 
We glimpsed spring this past weekend but even as the temperatures dip again it is springtime at Marcel's! As the month leads up to an early Easter on March 27th, we have everything you desire to adorn your home with a fresh look (including the gorgeous new Oasis collection from Le Creuset!). Two trunk shows (Garnier Thiebaut and Shine Handmade) and the Celebration of Tables will inspire you to create stunning holiday tables. All of your purchases this month will earn DOUBLE M Rewards points!
 
Chef Paul always delights his classes with a fabulous meal; find out what is on his ultimate dinner menu in this month's Q&A. We have the spotlight on a few tempting classes this month but you can check out our full line-up here.

Q&A WITH CHEF PAUL LINDEMUTH
What was your "aha" moment, when you realized that you wanted to become a chef? I was encouraged by my partner Michael as well as a friend/kitchen design client to follow my passion for food.
 
West Suburban Gem:  Vie in Western Springs

Favorite Book / Cookbook:  "Lessons in Service" by Charlie Trotter and my current favorite cookbook is "The Food Lab"

Current ingredient obsession: Smoked Salt

Favorite Aspect of Teaching at Marcel's: Seeing the student's enthusiasm and confidence build as they work through recipes and techniques.  It's especially rewarding when there are students who initially are intimidated and then embrace the experience and camaraderie of the group.

How would you best describe your culinary style? Ethnic focused foods with big flavors and food that looks beautiful as well as being delicious.

Favorite Food Destinations: Napa and Northern California, New York, Merida (Mexico)
 
Three ingredients always in my fridge: Limes, Garlic and Cholula
 
Where is your favorite spot to dine when you are looking to treat yourself and for when you want something casual and no-frills? Treat: Adelle's in Wheaton. No Frills/Casual: Front Street Cocina in Wheaton
 
My perfect dinner is: Wood Roasted Scallops, Fennel/Orange Salad with Hazelnut Oil, White Beans with Sage and Garlic Olive Oil, Caramel Pot De Crème.
