Ricciuti’s

The other day I was raking leaves out of the woods. After years of raking leaves and dumping them into the woods, I was thinking this is crazy!  Why is this a big deal?  Because the leaves feed the compost pile which feed the vegetables. The vegetables end up on our dinner plates.  No more throwing out the leaves.  They are an important part of our restaurant.  I just wish I hadn’t wasted so much energy last fall.

Summer vegetables have finally arrived. Tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, pole beans, cucumbers, peppers, fingerling potatoes, herbs, herbs, and more herbs. We will be picking everyday and bringing you the freshest possible food in town. The greatest thing is cooking, you just slice, drizzle on a good quality olive oil, sprinkle on some chopped herbs and finish with a dash of salt and a grind of pepper. This food stands on it own, no fancy names or cooking techniques. The best word to describe our food is ‘honest’. It’s local, mostly organic and grown with lots of love. Check out the pictures, a few from my own garden, some from Our House and Sligo Creek Farm’s Brookeville plot. Nice hat John!
