Lovely Lunch With Julianne Zaleta

Who can resist the siren's call of a mid-week, mid-day lunch at the home of a 3 decade-old friend? Certainly not Cafe Drake. So in the midst of neighboring area errands we found ourselves delightfully planted at the table of JZ. A "cocktail" of alcohol-infused organic peach tea was soon followed by a hearty winter's stew of multiple root veggies, kale, white beans and Italian sausage. 

Amidst winter decorations we also scarfed cheeses, cured meats, sourdough baguettes, grapes and so much more, including the Queen of Alchemologie's unique, homespun cordials.
