A gentle mix of delicate crab, spicy orzo, and tender greens served just warm enough to release their aroma. It's light yet luxurious—ideal for a first course!
Local pears simmer gently in spiced apple cider until tender and perfumed. The syrup reduces to a golden glaze, ideal for spooning over ice cream or soft cheese. These feel just as at home paired with a salad, as they would with ice cream.
A salad that celebrates the brightness of summer and the bite of bitterness. Sweet Rainier cherries contrast beautifully with crisp radicchio and buttery pine nuts, all tied together in a honey-Dijon vinaigrette. It's colourful, balanced, and full of character — the kind of salad that doesn't feel like a side.
Crunchy, tart, and autumnal, this salad is a tribute to the fall harvest. Shaved kale, romanesco, apples, and pears mingle with cranberries and pumpkin seeds for texture and colour. A splash of apple cider vinegar and creamy poppy seed dressing bring it all together for a dish that's as nourishing as it is vibrant.
