Greetings everyone!
I hope that you were lucky enough to be Up North checking out the beautiful Fall colors last weekend! The weather was gorgeous and Saturday was a perfect evening for our first Market Dinner of the season.
Fifty guests came to our table to enjoy Soupe au Pistou, Rack of Lamb with Skordalia and Tarte Tatin. I think the kitchen crew had as much fun as the guests! 
And, again, I was deeply touched by the number of you who chose to come out and dine with us. Your support is moving and vital. Thank You!!

Academy of Chocolate
Last week our chef, Tony Francis, and I attended a two day chocolate
making class in Chicago at the brand new Barry Callebaut Chocolate
Academy.
We both felt like complete novices when we had to try our
hand at various tasks, such as spray painting molds with colored cocoa
butter, and preparing chocolate molds to be filled, piping ever so
carefully!!! We loved it, though, and we hope to practice our bonbon
making skills and come out with a line of chocolate for you to try
around the holidays.
Wish us luck!
