How about a French bakery?

Now there is one, in Denville, that seems beamed from Paree. Its croissants are buttery bliss, macarons miraculous, chocolate chip cookies catnip. The bravura bakery is Chocolatine, run by French baker Cédric Hosy and his Rockaway-raised wife, Elaine Castro, who has a sales background. (See our picks for the tastiest Chocolatine goodies below the Q&A.)

How did Denville get this lucky? Cédric: Merci. After years of baking and bartending for other people, it was time to have my own business. Our retail bakery opened in March. But we’ve been here since 2020, baking croissants to sell wholesale to restaurants, hotels and markets. Elaine: Before the pandemic, we were working in [New York City] and didn’t see enough of each other. I had a day job in IT sales, and Cédric was tending bar at night. Then Covid came. The bars were closed, and I couldn’t meet with clients in person. It was a good time to move out of the city and open here. Cédric: People gave up a lot during Covid. But I’m French, and I just knew croissants would succeed.

How’s it worked out? Cédric: Chocolatine is doing well. And Elaine and I working together now is great. Being business partners has brought us closer. I’m the baker in the back, and she’s the boss in the front. Elaine: I’m the customer-facing one. I love selling our products because they’re honestly delicious and totally French. And since we keep bakery hours, closing at 3 or 4, I’m able to do some IT sales consulting again. Cédric: Chocolatine is 100 percent authentically French—no different from a neighborhood bakery in any French city. Elaine: We don’t cut corners. We use the best ingredients. Cédric: Valrhona French chocolate and butter from Normandy. Elaine: Our customers are thrilled to have a real, committed French bakery here in Denville. A lot of customers come in every day. Cédric: Like in France. Elaine: They take their time looking at everything we have that day before they choose. It’s all fresh, so pretty and wonderful to bite into, whether it’s a sweet treat or a savory tart or quiche.

Why did you open a bakery and not, say, a French café? Cédric: I have loved croissants since I was a kid. And baking was the first thing I did in the kitchen, in a pastry-making internship in high school. [Laughs.] That’s very French! After that, I had six years of culinary education. I have a degree from a great hospitality school, Lycée et CFA François Rabelais. It’s in the town of Dardilly just outside Lyon. That’s the culinary capital of France. I also have a diploma in hospitality management.

What else have you done in culinary? Cédric: All kinds of jobs. Cooking in restaurants, doing sales of French specialty foods, tending bar—a lot of that—and the baking. When I moved to New York in 2007 I bartended, because I had been doing that in Paris, Geneva and also Miami.

You pivoted from mixology to pastry. Are the skills similar? Cédric: It was a natural move for me. Bartending and baking are both very creative if you’re good. And I have a lot of creative energy. But to make nice cocktails and good pastry, you also have to be very precise.

What’s next for Chocolatine? Cédric: We hope to keep loving what we do. And to expand and open more shops. Elaine: And maybe bring some adventurous, multicultural flavors to our pastries. Like ube from my native country of the Philippines. It’s a purple sweet potato but tastes like dessert. Cédric: A great croissant could handle it.

Les croissants: Buttery rapture, whether classic plain, or with almonds, raspberries, Nutella, chocolate (le Chocolatine) and more. Le cruffin: Part croissant, part muffin; completely captivating. Le baguette: The crunchy-crusted French icon, fresh from the oven. La brioche: A spherical, egg-enhanced bread, meant to be torn apart and devoured. Les macarons: They’re splendide: crispy on the outside, luscious on the inside, not overly sweet; in distinctive flavors like rose lychee, Earl Grey, lemon yuzu and strawberry verbena. Le chocolate chip cookie: Seekers of chocolate-chip enlightenment, this is it. Le pistache: Pistachio, a favorite topping here, piled on a croissant or financier (mini loaf cake). Les classiques: French pastries like the indulgent chocolate dome; Bordeaux’s caramelly canelés; Proustian madeleine cookies; the delectable, sugar-dusted Gaufres de Liège (Belgian waffles). Le croque-monsieur: France’s favorite quick lunch. A sandwich of Cédric’s artisanal white bread with jambon de Paris (ham), Emmental Swiss cheese and rich béchamel sauce.

DENVILLE, NJ - A "catastrophic failure" of Denville's main well water pump is forcing the imposition of mandatory water restrictions in the township, officials announced Friday.

Effective Monday, May 22, outdoor water use will be restricted for all residential and commercial properties. The restrictions will stay in effect for 90 days unless repealed or extended, said the township

"The mandatory water restrictions are in place to ensure an adequate water supply for water customers and fire protection service," it said. "The restrictions have become immediately necessary as the industrial pump in the township’s primary well suffered a catastrophic failure and as a result has placed considerable stress on the other potable wells in our system. According to our vendors, the timeframe to have our primary well up and running is approximately two (2) to three (3) months."

Properties with even number addresses will be allowed outside water use on even number days and those having odd number addresses on odd days, the township said. It stressed that the rule includes all businesses operating from or at a residential address.

"Outdoor water usage shall include the watering of lawns, shrubs, ornamental plants, sod, etc., as well as the washing of homes/commercial businesses windows, driveways, sidewalks, gutters and homes," said the statement. "The restrictions also include the washing of automobiles, trucks, ATVs, boats, etc. If a commercial business is to complete work at a household, we will hold the water restrictions to the odd/even number of the home in accordance with the water restrictions in place."

However, the township stressed that businesses "that rely and survive on outdoor water use, whose business address is separate from a residential address, such as car washes, nurseries, power washing companies, etc., will be exempt from the odd/even water restrictions."

It said the odd/even water restrictions "will remain in effect for offices and commercial buildings as it pertains to lawn watering, window washing, power washing, etc., for any non-essential work and/or updates."

Multi-family dwellings, including apartment style housing, will be only permitted to use outdoor water on odd days," said Denville. On even days, such water usage is prohibited.

The town urged residents and business to voluntarily observe and implement indoor water conservation measures and said "property owners who violate the above water restrictions shall be subject to a municipal summons, along with fine and penalties associated therewith."

DENVILLE, NJ – Grove City College student Ben Genberg of Denville was part of team with Engineers With a Mission that recently built an aquaponics system for a city garden in Cleveland.

The system turns fish waste into fertilizer and can produce more than 200 heads of lettuce in a growing season.

In May, members of the Grove City College student organization installed the sustainable growing system at a community garden supported by Envision Cleveland, a Christian Missionary and Alliance ministry. The chemical-free, solar-powered addition will help provide neighborhood residents with fresh produce and, at the end of the season, a tilapia dinner.

It was a mission-accomplished moment for the group, according to immediate past president Nico Campagna '23, who graduated a few days earlier.

"Our mission is to be the hands and feet of Christ by using our engineering skills to help people maintain their basic human needs," he said. "Within the first day, we had the system assembled and running which was a result of thorough testing, preparation and help setting up."

Founded just a few years ago, Engineers With a Mission is committed to using the knowledge and skills they acquired in the College's classrooms and labs to provide a service for others. The group has added service-learning value to engineering and other programs, according to adviser Erik Bardy, professor of Mechanical Engineering.

"As an extracurricular activity purposed for Christian service, it has drawn excitement from those involved," Bardy said.

The group had previously worked on a system to wash plastics for plastic recycling in Uganda, but when the time for choosing a new project came around last fall, the members decided to do something closer to their campus home.

A church connection through Bardy put the students in touch with Envision Cleveland and its community garden projects. Their three community gardens, which feature an orchard, beekeeping and a large greenhouse, provide people with healthy food options and are part of a larger effort to engage, educate and empower people to lead change in their neighborhoods.

After identifying a need, more than a dozen students in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Biology got to work designing, fundraising and building. The self-contained aquaponics system they produced is a series of tanks that use the flow of water to turn fish waste into fertilizer for plants.

Water is pumped from a holding tank into the fish tank, which contains about a dozen tilapia. It then flows into a solids filtration tank, where the fish waste sinks to the bottom and the nitrates the system uses as fertilizer rise to the top. That tank feeds into a grow bed filled with clay pebbles where seeds and plants are fed by the fertilizer and the water moving through it. A ball siphon in the grow bed creates a vacuum that pulls the circulated water back into the holding tank and the process starts all over.

The only inputs required are a little power for the holding tank pump (the rest of the water flow is gravity fed) and some food for the fish, which can also be harvested after the growing season ends.

While designing and building the system, the students learned some real-world lessons in project management, communication, logistics and fundraising, Bardy said. Engineers With a Mission raised about $8,500 from businesses, churches and individuals for the project.

They constructed the system in Rockwell Hall on campus and then moved it to an outbuilding at Grove City Alliance Church, where they could test the fluid dynamics and make sure everything would work when they installed it in Cleveland. Last week, they loaded it onto a truck and headed to Cleveland for a few days of work.

After getting the system set up on day one, they met with the Envision Cleveland team that will be maintaining it.

"They were very excited to be the new owners of the aquaponics system and learn all about it," Campagna said. The Engineers With a Mission team also learned about the community gardens and met some people who benefit from their bounty.

"The aquaponics project fits into our mission as we serve the people in need in Cleveland. It will bring fresh produce and fish to the area, which is hard to come by, and serve as a teaching tool and beacon of God's love for all in the community," he said. "By the end of the trip, everything was set up, fish were swimming happily in their tank, and all that was left was to put the plants in the grow bed."

The Engineers With a Mission team that made the trip to Cleveland included Matthew Montazzoli '24, Jacob Smith '24, Ben Elverson '24, Kelly Brannan '23, Haley Steele '24, and Jared Custer '23.

Other students that were involved include Hunter Jones '23, Ben Genberg '24, Jon Wier '24, Eric Wallace '24, James Condon '24, Ryley Grossman '24, Chris Stone '24, Sydney Hanson '23, and Tyler Bailey '24 also worked on the project.
