I traveled to New York City this past Sunday with Rawbin to attend the Fourth Annual Chocolate for Charity Fundraiser. Before making our way to the fundraiser, we enjoyed an elegant dinner at Pure Food and Wine. Between the two of us, we indulged in the following.
with haricots vert, balsamic rosemary glazed plum, and a chard branch.
“Zucchini and Local Hothouse Tomato Lasagna”
with basil pistachio pesto, sun-dried tomato sauce, and pinoli ricotta.
A kombucha-like passion fruit drink with strawberries, a starter to dessert.
“Bergamot, Lavender and Blueberries”
with lemon bergamot semifredo, lavender blueberry compote, blueberry ice cream and lavender cashew shortbread.
The service was great, the atmosphere beautiful, and the food outstanding. I’m certainly looking forward to my next visit.
If at all possible, do try to have a Pure Food and Wine experience at least once. …or twice, or even three times. [wink]
