This lovely Spring afternoon, I had the pleasure of dining outdoors at Cookshop, Marc Meyer's casual chic fresh ingredient driven American eatery. Crowded with art world types and visitors to Chelsea, it was a-buzz this May afternoon!
So what did we have?
We split their thin crust nettle pesto, ricotta, mozzarella, and Pecorino pizza with crushed red pepper flakes. Savory, creamy, rustic, earthy and all around fabulous. Not too heavy to weigh you down in the middle of the day either. An ode to the springtime with nettles this was the perfect pie for a windy sunny May day like this one.
Then we split their butterhead lettuce salad with radishes, goat feta, homemade croutons and creamy herb dressing and a side of roasted brussel sprouts with carrots and a salsa verde. The salad was crisp and refreshing yet filling with just the right amount of creaminess and saltiness from the feta and crunch from the croutons. The roasted veggie side was an excellent ode to our local vegetable bounty -- rustic, homey, and fabulously flavorful.
A delish lunch composed of the sort of food I like to cook at home done right.
