Kitchen Talk

I have to discuss bread salads, yum. We have a bread salad paired with our local J&D Meats roasted Cornish Hen on the menu now. It is a taste sensation, simple, hot, cold, crunchy and juicy. We use fresh picked heirlooms from Zephyrs End Farm in Shepherdstown and our bread is from Cardinal Bakery in Sterling Maryland.
I first read about bread salads in Zuni Cafe cookbook, a must have, with their famous roasted chicken. For home chefs it is a great way to showcase the abundance of summer tomatoes. I am going to put together a cooking demonstration at our Charles Town Farmers Market August 29 and will feature bread salad. Come on down and visit us there.








Charles Town garden sightings

Wow it has been hot in the kitchen! The gardens around town are looking a bit dry and wilted. A break from the heat and some rain would be so nice. I found this sweet gesture while dog walking, brought a smile to my face.
Have a great day
