We're very excited to make many different vegan cheeses, and we're going to celebrate this fact with some fantastic produce! Come try our burrata, a fantastic sunchoke and smoked apple salad with whipped cashew, our famous arancini di riso, some delightful manicotti filled with spinach, almond cheese, and served with sprouted lentils and blistered cherry tomatoes, as well as a delectable blackberry cheesecake. We look forward to feeding you!
Menu detail
Cashew Burrata & Housemade Country Bread
Appetizer
Just recently we were able to make vegan burrata! I'd always considered burrata to be the ultimate soft cheese, as it is a mozzarella that has a creamy, rich, not-quite-set filling, encased in a stretchy, more formed mozzarella shell. It is solid on the outside, and soft on the inside making it eminently spreadable, and totally addictive. We'll drizzle nice green olive oil over it, salt, pepper, and serve it with our house baked bread.
Roasted Sunchoke Salad
Appetizer
Roasted sunchokes, smoked apples, and sorrel drizzled with rosemary oil, with whipped cultured cashew.
Arancini di Riso
Appetizer
We fill the arancinis with our housemade mozzarella, fry it in bread crumbs, serve it over a rich tomato sauce, and top it with fresh basil.
Manicotti with Spinach, Almond Cheese, and Cherry Tomatoes
Entree
I remember baked manicotti from my childhood, and I'm happy to make a grown up (and vegan) version! We'll fill them with a rich spinach, onion, and housemade almond cheese mixture, and serve them with sprouted lentils, blistered cherry tomatoes, and our freshly grated almond parmesan!
Blackberry Lemon Cashew Cheesecake
Dessert
We make an excellent cashew based cheesecake, and this time we'll be making it with fresh blackberries and lemon!
