This light yet comforting menu is special enough for any occasion. The spices in the rub add an extra depth of flavor to the tender lamb chops. Keep things light and satisfying with a fennel salad appetizer and vanilla pudding with candied kumquats for dessert.

Skip the pumpkins and cobwebs this year, instead haunt your guests this Halloween with a memorable black themed dinner party. Rich purple and red produce found in the farmer's market give the table a spooky feel against a black backdrop.

The Collector's Cake

In celebration of our dear collector friend's birthday, we created a tropical ice cream cake inspired by one of his favorite creatures the Bowerbird. To allure potential mates, the Bowerbird collects brightly colored objects to display in and around their beautifully constructed bowers. The objects can range from shells, feathers, flowers, coins, and in this case delicately dotted eggshells.

This dense passionfruit cake paired with light and airy coconut ice cream will bring delight to any summer party.

Foraging in Central Park

We recently took a guided foraging tour in Central Park and were amazed to discover all the different varieties of edible plants growing in all the nooks and crannies of the park. On our little adventure, we found wild plants like wisteria, cattail shoots, sassafras, and chervil.

Our favorite find of the day were fan shaped clusters of gigantic Dryad Saddle mushrooms. We marinated these with field garlic bulbs and tossed them with farfalle, mint and peas for a light pasta salad. 

If you are interested in taking the tour, please contact "wildman" Steve Brill.

Mother's Day Brunch

An inspired trip to the Union Square farmer's market brought us this menu for our Mother's Day brunch. Wild ramps are the star of this meal, with their distinct garlic and chives scent and delicate onion flavor. A celebration for mom would not be complete with something sweet, our creme brulee french toast will make you her favorite.
