My Quest

This blog is the tale of my quest for home-made, low-salt, traditional, rustic and innovative cuisine. Special attention is given to restaurants and food suppliers in special locations, such as locally owned farms, farmer's markets, walkable people places, water view properties and to properties of notable architectural merit. Restaurants and inns are considered in light of sustainability efforts as well, and noted with a green apple for special efforts to conserve and sustain.

Table d'Hote

Hastings on Hudson
Hastings Station Cafe 10/23/2010

It is a special treat when the culinary endeavors of local food and wine connoisseurs bestow their talents on a room of River Village foodies. Offering a menu bringing farm to table with ingredients from Shinnecock Bay to Catskill farms, accompanied by fine mustard and flavors from Brittany, the Fred and Alex team offers a new layer to culinary delight!
The enjoyment of the first in the Table d'Hote series was enhanced by the friendly and knowledgeable guests, who impart a vast knowledge of good eats, ranging from Bulgoki seasonings to roast duckling recipes to vegetarian seaweed options.
My personal favorite of the evening offerings was the Shinnecock Bay scallops carpaccio, served with mizuna and greens, pink peppercorns, cilantro and lime.
A wonderful endeavor, gentlemen. We look forward to the next on December 11. Merci!

    Oh, yes. Thank you, Robert. I should have mentioned that Domaine des 2 anes Corbieres les Fontanilles 2006 was his choice to accompany the entree. Delicious. I am planning on getting some for the holidays!
