Tonight’s menu - SOLD OUT

I woke up to a cool Northwest morning, went out to the garden to what could be harvested, baked some bread, and here is the menu I wrote while I enjoyed a cup of coffee, and than headed to the farmers market, to finish out dinner. I will be writing more menus like this throughout the fall and winter months, with a change to our reservation service. These will be invite only dinners, small, intimate and personal , purchasing tickets in advance with a 24-36 hour notice,rotating private venues.  This is one of our early test dinners. I will say that it is quite satisfying to wake up to such a cool and wet morning, get the oven nice and hot while brewing some coffee, harvesting from your own kitchen garden and than head into town to the farmers market. For this to be my accomplishment everyday, and much as I can. Today, I am living my dream. #chefslife
