chef's picks for now

sea scallops! dusted in ground fennel seed, in a porcini mushroom sauce with polenta


This is one of my favorite salads on our summer menu. It's baby spinach with shaved fennel, mint, peaches, and a honey-vanilla vinaigrette. In the fall, I think I'll exchange peaches for apples, and add some reduced apple juice to the vinaigrette, but get this one now while peaches are still in season!
