The Table

A single menu,
grown steps away

One nightly menu, written each morning around what the walled garden, the orchard and farms within ten miles have given us.

The long table laid for dinner, candlelight and garden flowers

"We don't write a menu so much as read the garden. Dinner is whatever was best that morning, cooked simply and brought to one long table."
