Good Morning Chatham!

Zucchini has arrived in the Hudson Valley!! Quiche will be filled with tender, sweet zucchini, basil and creamy goat cheese. This week’s lasagne features tomato sauce studded with zucchini, sweet carrots and peas along with fresh basil, béchamel, mozzarella, parmigiano and pecorino. We are roasting chicken, tossing it with its own jus, piling it on a baguette with butter lettuce and cornichon with a swipe of mayonnaise. The vegetable sandwich is of beets, smashed cucumber, pickled onion, olives, lots of herbs and garlic-scape goat cheese on baguette. And for dessert, strawberry tiramisu. The balance of the menu stays the same.

Keeping a stash of Via Ravioli in the freezer is always a good idea for a quick and delicious meal. Four minutes in boiling water, drain and dress with simple melted butter and parmigiano, or a simple sauce of fresh tomatoes depending on your choice of ravioli. Fresh sweet pea with mint and pecorino, asparagus and ricotta, mushroom and ricotta. The cacao e pepe are very limited, get them while available. As always, jams and marmalades from Mimi Beaven are available. These jams are small batch and of local ingredients. 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!!
