Holbrook Farm to Table Dinner, October 14, 2012
4pm on the Farm. If local, farm fresh, elegant, and delicious food is what your taste buds are craving, this fall inspired event will delight.
Think spiced pumpkin soup, seared Stonington scallops with a caramelized leek and raisin compote, "Brasciole style" braised shortribs, and an Autumn Panzanella salad with roasted butternut squash, celery, shiitake mushrooms, sweet potato, apples, pomegranate seeds, and arugula with a spiced pomegranate vinaigrette.
Then to finish it off, apple and pumpkin Panificio Navona petite harvest cakes and Blue Jay Orchard's apple cider bites.
