Hi Steve,

I would like to email you but your zippy email didn’t work for me. Send over your email! I am Bob Loparto and Liz Rainey’s daughter. I think you know them both.

thanks for getting in touch.

Hi Kacie:

I too was raised in Pawtucket, I may know your father or uncle. I went to school with Ronnie, and Lenny Lapardo. Any relation? I was just talking about Ronnie to my mentee. I told this kid that is following me to learn how to cook. I said there was a guy named Ronnie and he took a chance to invest in a property at a very young age. If I remember he bought a club on Newport Ave. and from that example I told the kid that I was mentoring, that you have to take a risk sometimes. That being said, I have two successful restaurants in the RI area, that’s how I found this website. Surfing. Very interesting information on seaweed. We do use nori for our sushi, and I have made some dashi’s with kelp and some sauces with it also. If you ever come back to RI email me and maybe we can talk about your business and/or products. The restaurants that we have are called Chardonnays in Seekonk MA. And Meritage in East Greenwich, RI.

Please let me know if you know Ronnie or Lenny.

Contunied success in the seaweed business.

Sincerely,
Steve Bianchini

hi,

i am very interested in knowing more about how you “process” the various seaweeds…i am trying to be “raw” which means i avoid anything heated over 115 degrees. can you give me more info on each of the seaweeds and how they are transformed from what you take out of the sea to what you would sell me?

thanks.

Hello-
recently started incorpotation seaweed into my diet.
I have tried all the varieties I have found – Wakame, Kelp, Kombu & dulse
The Dulse was purchased at Whole Foods and came from Maine- I no longer have the original bag so I’m not sure what company it was from
I am wondering if you can tell me
when I go out to a Japanese restaurant they have a seeweed that is florescent green
none of the ones i have bought have this appearance
is theres a different type of seeweed or is it a different preperation that causes this

thanks for any info
Debra

Loved reading about your work. My latest cookbook is THE NEW BLUE RIDGE COOKBOOK, and includes some farmers and chefs who also went to Warren Wilson College, that marvelous school that teaches and breathes sustainability. Good for you for finding your passion! I’ve also written about OUR “Down East,” in THE OUTER BANKS COOKBOOK. Would love to share stories. Check out my blog at http:”carolinafoodie.blogspot.com/

Hi
You were recommended to me by Iain…we are having a clam bake for Christmas, approximately 16 people. What type of seaweed would you recommend? We live in Florida.

Thanks for your help.

Kc ~

beautiful webpage, awesome & informative on the seaweeds! now I know to call wakame “alaria” and Kombu “digitata” if they come from the Maine coast.

I would like to see a photo of you, tho.

Hey Kacie, i’ve been snacking on the Dulse you gave me all day, and sharing with all the veg’ns around me. It’s delicious with avocado!

Can’t wait til you’re back in NY!

It was great to meet you Kacie! I spoke to you about Kennebunkport and harvesting kelp and also about contacting Larch. I’m interested in getting some stuff together for a farmer’s market around here and would love your product if you want to participate. We can talk!
Good job at the Fair, it looked great! your booth and the seaweed, I mean!
