Sample Menu - A bit about seasonal cooking
Quite simply, the flavor of out-of-season fruits and vegetables does not even remotely compare to those same foods picked at their peak of ripeness. This quality (or lack thereof) flows all of the way down to the final product which can either be an exciting, memorable experience, or a very under-whelming meal.
I will always seek out the best ingredients the season has to offer and I would never serve anything to anyone I wouldn’t serve my own family.
