Good Morning!!!

Only a couple of changes for this week. Our favorite, Insalata di riso the classic italian summer salad is back. Tender rice with fresh and pickled vegetables along with salami and provolone make for a great lunch on its own of with our roast chicken and gazpacho for a light summer meal. Soup is tomato and cantaloupe gazpacho, bright, zippy and refreshing, a must for your summer eating bucket list! We are roasting turkey breast and baking focaccia for our sandwich this week.. Blue Star farm tomatoes, basil aioli, sharp cheddar, pickled onions and arugula all come together for a yummy bite. The tomato and goat cheese sandwich continues. Tomato quiche is peek summer. Thick sliced tomato is layered with caramelized onions, fresh thyme, gruyère and parmigiano, perfect at room temperate and absolutely the best picnic food. The tomato and melon salad gets a tweak with the addition of charred corn joining cucumber, red onion and feta, lots of herbs and lime vinaigrette. Thumbprint cookies are with seame seeds and filled with homemade sour cherry jam. Galette is blueberry and the scone has fresh peach.

New summer flavors from Via Ravioli are here and make for a quick and delicious meal in minutes without heating up the kitchen. Four minutes in boiling water, drain and dress with simple melted butter and parmigiano, and a handful of fresh herbs, or a simple sauce of fresh tomatoes. Also wonderful floating in your favorite broth.

As always, jams and marmalades from Mimi Beaven are available. These jams are small batch and of local ingredient and the quantities are limited. Start the day with jam and toast, but don’t limit them to breakfast. The jams will perk up any sandwich, accompany roasted and grilled meats, are yummy with cheese and how about topping vanilla ice cream with black currant jam or very red berry!! Tribeca Bakery baguettes and fresh Yundwell eggs are here for you as well.

Michael will be taking your calls beginning at 9am.

Have a lovely week!!
