Farm dinner tonight

Yummy as always - here was the menu:

• Hot and spiced Apple and Pear Cider
• Roasted Tomato Soup with heirloom tomatoes and herbs
• Farmhouse sourdough bread grilled with cheese and Zabergou apples
• Mixed greens with Asian pears and hazelnuts
• Rosemary Focaccia with lemon sorrel pesto, oven roasted garlic and herb infused olive oil
• Roasted garden vegetables - squash, scarlet runner beans, purple peacock beans, tomatoes, carrots, golden cauliflower and pearl onions
• Corn on the cob (from a local farm)
• Mashed potatoes with cashew gravy
• Baked Pear Crisp with apple butter, walnut rosemary shortbread and goat milk marscapone.

Incredible food and delightful people. We are seated at tables of six or eight and the conversations are wide-ranging and very intellegent. A lot of professionals retired to the island and are fascinating to talk with.

The grains for the bread were not grown on the farm but nearly everything else was.
