August Food Freshies

This just in from Chef Bradshaw: "As we approach mid-August we are still reminded of the late spring. Tomatoes are still trying to ripen. Because of the rains, we have an abundance of braising greens as well as baby beets which we are serving roasted; beans; baby cipollini onions and baby leeks served grilled. Sweet peas are out, so we have changed our seared sea scallop dish to include mascarpone mashed potatoes with a sweet pea sauce, a melange of local organic roasted bell peppers and foraged mushrooms. We are also featuring local Crown S Ranch natural chicken prepared as seen on KING5 TV's NW Backroads show with Sunny Pine Farms goat cheese, spinach, Bluebird Grain Farms emmer "risotto", apple cider sauce and local organic vegetables. Peaches are perfect right now so be on the look out for some nice fresh peach dessert specials."
