On a sunlit afternoon, gather friends for a convivial lunch, a ritual celebrated by the most beloved of artists, the French impressionists. A menu evocative of their era offers delicate harmonies of flavor, texture, and color.
A study in yellow, green, and brown, the Poached Egg Salad of spring lettuces and frisée surprises the palate with crisp lardons and fancy mushrooms.
A tantalizing prelude to our feast, tender Parmesan-Vinaigrette Potatoes with Crème Fraîche and Caviar bear tiny bouquets of fresh dill and mint.
Painterly hues of pink are captured in the Honey-Roasted Radish Medley.
Inspired by Monet, we offer richly flavored Almond-and-Brown-Butter Galette.
