A good Tuesday morning to all!

A few updates for this week. Looking ahead to Passover, Matzo Ball Soup is here. Tender matzo balls, flecked with dill and chives floating in golden chicken broth with spring peas, carrots and celery makes for a warm and satisfying bowl of goodness, holiday or not. Anpther cause for celebrations our bright and sunny carrot soup, topped with a swirl of pea shoot pesto to keep you cozy for the weekend. Turkey and black bean chili is back. Straight up is yummy or dress it up with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado or maybe some rice and since it’s the weekend, why not all!!! We are roasting a bevy of beautiful vegetables until a little charred and jammy and piling them over tender, toasted farro, topped with shaved parmigiana and parsley salsa verde. Lovely on its own or accompanying our roast chicken for an easy meal. The vegetable sandwich is roasted tandoori spiced cauliflower, with cucumber raita and bright green chutney on baguette.

A number of you have caught on to Via Ravioli, but for those that haven’t given them a try, they are quite delicious. Made in small batches by our friends in Coxsackie they are perfectly light and delicate, very Italian. Ravioli stuffed with beet & chèvre make for an easy meal when sauced with sage and butter. Cacio e Pepe, the classic Roman pasta dish as a ravioli, also just right with butter, a dusting of pecorino and more black pepper. And the perennial favorite, spinach and ricotta, just add your favorite tomato sauce.

New addition to Mimi’s jam menu is Seville Orange Marmalade. This is a fan favorite and limited. Get’em while available. Most all of the jam’s are made of locally grown ingredients, many grown in Mimi’s garden, are slowly simmered at their peak with just enough sugar to bring out their best. Obviously perfect on morning toast, but do try with fresh cheese, on a sandwich or take that vanilla ice cream to another level!

And don’t forget, Tribeca Bakery Baguette, and our own Duck Rillettes. Biscuits and Frittata by special order, mention to Michael when you call.
