We have a lot of catching up to do. Oh goodness, where to begin? I’m in the Big Apple again, and am missing all of you so much. SummerWinter has been on a bit of a hiatus, but that doesn’t mean we’ve broken off our love affair with food. I don’t think we could ever do that. I’ve been reminded that there are always ways of coming around the table regardless of where you are and what you are eating. As long as you surround yourself with like-minded souls, the common act of sharing a meal will be a nourishing one.
And I have lots to share. I’ve been cooking more because Yella and David are not around to spoil me. Which means I’ve been familiarizing myself with the produce that the city has to offer. Sorry, New York, California’s impossible to beat in this department. Nevertheless, I’ve been delighting in reacquainting myself with New York’s seasons—real seasons, not make-believe ones—and of course, with its unending selection of delectable goodness. I’ve missed the restaurants—my favorite old haunts, the indispensable classics, and everything in between.
Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of hosting David for his first official visit to New York. We happily ate our way through the city. As most of you know, it’s impossible to squeeze everything in, but I did my best. We ate many spectacular things that I want to tell you about in a future post. But for now, I just want to remind you of the importance of coming together to share the earth’s bounty. Wherever you are, find a way!
