On the Menu



Beautiful, isn't it? The sight of fresh produce, piled on a counter or kitchen table, awaiting transformation always inspires me.  On Townville Street, it is the kitchen window seat that becomes home to these colorful, impromptu vignettes.  At this time of year, the most common sights are stacks of pumpkins, winter squash, and eggplant.  This week, pumpkins join wild mushrooms in a seasonal risotto, eggplants cutlets get a topping of "sun" dried tomato and a crust of crushed pistachios, and Portobello mushrooms get a Tuscan makeover with a filling that incorporates homemade sweet basil pesto.  Stay tuned for the recipes and the results!
