A Visit from Mimi and Auntie Shelia

An appetizer of Asparagus Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter, Parmesan and Pea Shoots.

Heirloom black Forbidden Rice looks sinister when cooking but adds a nutty flavor and dramatic flair to Thai-inspired dinners.

A casual dinner of leftovers in the kitchen.

All of us here at Cafe Drake HRV were thrilled by a recent visit from Mimi and Auntie Shelia; Arabella and Lloyd lapped up the love they received with vigorous appetites while we humans feasted on numerous dishes including Thai Tofu and Long Bean Curry, Minestrone and Parmesan Toasts, Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower, Tomatoes and Dried Cranberries and more. We also had some spectacular lunches at old faves (Miss Lucy's in Saugerties) and new discoveries (High Falls' Kitchenette).
