You don’t let your 2-year-old stay late and join a grown-up party. Unless your 2-year-old is a prodigy and his birthday is the reason for the party. Cuisine Noir Magazine, two years in existence, celebrated its anniversary in style with the unveiling of its first print edition on Sunday at Nadine’s – a newly open restaurant on Jack London Square in Oakland.Cuisine Noir is an international food and wine publication concentrating on talented African-American chefs and rich culinary traditions they pursue, as well as on cuisines of the world and various creative finds in the field of gourmet.
The magazine, founded by Richard K. Pannell, and published by V. Sheree Publishing, LLC, started on the web two years ago, and now graduated to its full-fledged glossy print edition, Fall-Winter 2011.Suitable for the occasion, some of the prolific chefs and food/beverage producers presented their creations at the anniversary party.
Chef Richard K. Panell (yes, that’s right, the Cuisine Noir founder) treated his guests to sinfully delicious syrah-marinated skirt steak and island rice, redolent of coconut and tropical fruit. You know where to find him: http://www.cuisinenoirmag.com/
