Chef’s Vegetable Tasting Menu
‘Good Luck Beans’ with Black Winter Truffle in a Jar
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
We have long been fans of the amazing heirloom beans that we get from Rancho Gordo. Of course, any time you cook truffles in a sealed container, the moment you open it is a treat. It’s a great vegetarian dish but my favorite version includes a few nuggets of Foie Gras and some duck confit.
Beemster Crisps with Asparagus, Roasted Celery Root and Wild Mushrooms
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
Over the years we’ve made a number of variations on this dish with light crunchy beemster crisps. Eight layers of phyllo with melted butter and finely grated cheese toasted to perfection.

Stuffed Sierra Morels, Sourdough Fondue, Fried Leeks
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
Leftover Acme levain bread never goes to waste. I will never tire of Panzanella but here we’ve used them to make a delicious umami-flavored sauce for stuffed morel mushrooms
