Favs
What is your favorite egg dish for and perhaps not just for breakfast? One of my favs has become fresh soft poached egg with Chef Hugo Sauce. There is a little fresh thyme as garnish – as we all can use more time.

Book Review ~ Chez Panize Cafe’ Cookbook
by Alice Walters and the cooks of Chez Panisse in collaboration with David Tanis and Fritz Streiff
At the Slow Food Nation ~ Tattered Cover had a meet and greet with Alice Waters. The book is this months book club read. Reading the point where farm to table evolved to becoming common place is my take away from the introduction .. less we forget history we are in jeopardy of repeating. Simple truth is “restaurants are only as good as its simplest green salad.”

Book Review ~ Provisions ~ The Roots of Caribbean Cooking ii
Plantains
This Caribbean vegetarian dish is inspired from Provisions: the roots of Caribbean cooking by Michelle and Susanne Rousseau. Plantain are not readily found in Colorado – so when found it was a small celebration…perhaps i just did not know where to look. However – – next to the plantains were mangoes – so the inspiration to have mango chutney and African pepper compote was ignited.
The plantains are roasted on the outside grill and served with grilled tofu, Mango Chutney and African pepper compote . It is a mixture of flavors that will bring us to try other versions of “7 ways the world eats Plantains.”
