Making Monday Better: Sunday Supper with Friends

Sunday evenings, with their inevitable baggage - i.e. hesitation at the week ahead and sorrow at loss of the weekend - are perhaps the most perfect of all days for dinner with friends. And Cafe Drake will never complain about a meal at Jen Ruske's, always thoughtfully constructed and most importantly, always delicious and boasting the best of ingredients possible.

Recently Jen "whipped up" (??!!) an astonishing meal of artisinal cheeses and Gimlets to start, followed by organic roast chicken, roasted Peruvian blue potatoes and Cippolini onions, a mix of red lentils, mushrooms and kale and a yellow heirloom tomato salad. Wow!
