April

SPRING! Radishes from the Red Willow Farmers Market are the base for this fresh salad bursting with flavor with fennel and tangerine.

Eostere celebrated with Grandmother Bonnie's Carrot Cake

May

Spinach reseeded itself last falls and is one of the first greens to emerge. One of my favorite spinach recipies is the Carluccio's spinach Balls

June

Spinach flourishes

August

Preservation season begins: Mint Sauce

November

My favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, celebrated with a stout brined heritage bird - Rosemary stuffing with fennel, lemon & speck - Mixed Mushroom & Tarragon Gravy

Thanksgiving leftovers: Domburi is a significantly different flavor from traditional Thanksgiving fare.

December

A Vietnamese Ca-Ri Ga, using winter vegetables from the garden along with fresh tomatoes and chiles still growing in the greenhouse, simmers away on grandpa's wood stove over a conversation on linguistics.

Grandmother's birthday celebrated with Balthazar inspired Braised Short Ribs - Garlic Mashed Potatoes - Maple Glazed Butternut Squash - Roasted Red Onions with Pomegranate, Orange & Parsley Gremolata - all while reminiscing on meals enjoyed in the grand New York restaurant in years past.
