Bea joined us for dinner and brought some great wines!
We were inspired by some dishes we had at Campanile and Lucques.
At Lucques we had an end of Summer Salad. It was made with Blue Cheese, Walnuts, Grapes, Pear and Figs. It is a very clever salad that uses the overlap of availability of Grapes, Pears and Figs. It was very good. We dressed the salad with Saba, Walnut Oil.
For the main course we made Lentil Pasta from a recipe from Locanda Veneta in Los Angeles. This is one of our all time favorites. On Sunday we bought fresh tomatoes at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market. We followed the recipe for Oven Candied Summer Tomatoes from The Italian Country Table (Lynne Rossetto Kasper – one of our favorite cookbooks)and them used them to make the Lentil Pasta. The recipe can be found in our blog dated July 22, 2008. Click on the date to get the recipe.
At Campanile we had a great Cheese Course. With the cheese they served a Truffle Honey. The honey was amazing! When we said how much we liked the honey they gifted us with a bottle. We purchased cheese from The Cheese Store of Silverlake and served the Truffle Honey with it. The Brand of Honey is: Sabatino Tartufi.
We had Chocolate Cake for dessert.
