butchering and curing
the process of butchering and preserving meat used to be common skills in america. for better or for worse those skills are now reserved for the lucky few willing to put in the time to learn them.
farmer’s market
being connected to your food sources can be incredibly rewarding, and the NY/NJ area has an endless number of local suppliers willing to help out. take some time to enjoy your local farmers market, meet some of the people who spend their time perfecting ingredients.

the challenge of this dinner was preparing food to pair with 5 years of Querciabella Camartina wine. It was a most excellent time.
