Last month I had the pleasure and fortune to collaborate with Abeni Ramsey and Novella Carpenter  of Ghost town Farms for the Eat Real Festival.

It was really sweet to receive all of the gorgeous produce the ladies grew .

We were tucked cozily into the Urban homestead area.  Here is a little bit from Bay Area bites KQED~

Using the ladies produce from the gardens I made three items :

Corn Arugula peach salad with Zoe’s bacon and homemade creme fraiche

Zucchini Fritters with Padrons,jimmy nardello’s and harissa

Early girl tomato,Tartine bread Panzanella Salad

Here are some photos from my most recent dinner project Liminal feast.  Here is a bit about the dinner project through the eyes of SF weekly
