Southern Westchester Food and Wine

Scarsdale, NY Sowefwf.com For those of us who enjoy eateries and have a palate open to every style of cuisine, the Southern Westchester Food and Wine Festival September 22 was a great event. A sampling of tasty cuisine from restaurants throughout the county ranged from crepes of Grenadine of Dobbs Ferry, to shepherd's pie from Molly Spillane' to braised veal stew. Dessert options included Longford's ice cream and a wonderful plum tart from Patisserie Salzburg. All this festivity does not even touch upon the wine tasting which offered a huge variety of bottles attended by knowledgeable pourers. The crowd was thick, music enjoyable, and weather delightful at this must return event.

Grenadine

Dobbs Ferry, New York

This delightful establishment offers sweet and savory crepes with carefully selected ingredients, healthful juices, and a variety of interesting beverages including Grenadine. Those of
us who grew up feeling very special when we were offered a Shirley Temple as children will appreciate the delicious red drink known as Grenadine, which is a specialty of Normandy. It was in this region that the two french proprietors grew up. Fortunately for us, they came to live here, met
at a local eatery, and have now opened this authentic french creperie.
Favorites of mine are the Roquette, which is a generous crepe wrapped around arugula, gorgonzola, sliced pears and honey, and the Blueberry Crepe with lemon curd. Creative new combinations are offered in the Crepe of the Week. On hot days such as these, the mint tea, lightly sweetened, is very refreshing. Bon Appetit!
