Cooking Wild & Exotic….and Foods of Fall ~

Well October is coming to an end – and we will continue to feature wild and exotic foods – some local and some from afar.  Our Cascadia Mushroom Ragout has been very popular – with a combination of wild Chanterelles along with Cascadia Farms Shiitake and Oyster mushrooms.  Our Fall Pasta is always popular and we are doing a couple of dishes featuring Wild BoarBacon!

Of course we love to feature the local produce this time of year with all the fall apples, squash, beets, potatoes, and even late harvest tomatoes, salad greens & summer squash out of our garden and greenhouse
….. and of course local shellfish is at it’s peak as well.  Wild and Exotic mushrooms are also at their best this time of year.  Our “Wild and Exotic” side ranges from Local to Utah to Texas, and Florida -  We have a great purveyor of “exotic” meats – located in Utah where the Elk is farm raised. Most exotic meats available are farm raised with the exception of “wild boar” which is allowed to free range.
