Inspired by recipes and wisdom of Beth Dooley’s “Perennial Kitchen” cookbook. We are increasingly aware of the need to eat local, sustainable, organic foods. Sourcing ingredients that build soil and reward those farmers and growers who steward the land can heighten pleasure in what we cook and eat. Our menu will feature many of these nourishing foods that are available close to home:
Roasted Vegetable Hummus w/ Homemade Rye Crackers
Creamy Wild Rice-Mushroom Soup
Spinach Salad with Garlic-Mustard Vinaigrette
Braised Grass-fed Brisket with Spiced Cabbage and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes
Maple-Yogurt Panna Cotta with Berry Compote
