The Ingredient is the North Star
Plate de Haiti Tomatoes, the oldest cultivar in North America with seeds from 1561. One tomato yields three recipes: Tomato Confit from the outside surface, Tomato Marmalade from the inside seed juice pack, and tomato powder from a dehydration of their skins. We have access to ingredients that are not found elsewhere and we practice recipes requiring an understanding of preservation, fermentation, pickling, butchering, bread making with natural levain, sauce making and patisserie. This kitchen is about being a part of a professional brigade.
