Thanks to everyone to made it to the last dinner! We had a great time with all of you, and we raised over $700 for Schoharie Valley!

Tickets available now- Dinner and a great cause!

Greetings,
For the past few years, we have enjoyed spending time in the Catskill mountains. The area provides an unbelievable bounty of beautiful scenery and phenomenal ingredients. We’ve marveled at the amazing things that come out of the region, and the people who produce them. As you might be aware, the catskills were hit hard recently with the rain of hurricane Irene. Entire towns have been devastated, history has been lost, people left with nothing.

All of our dinners have included products from the Catskills. We feel a debt towards the region, and to the people who make it great. That is why we are not only dedicating our September 17th dinner to them, but sending a portion of the ticket price their way. $20 of your ticket price will go directly to Schoharie County charities who are helping people affected by Irene.

The dinner also reflects a bit of nostalgia. Our first dinner was called “Beerpig” and was created around the harmonious combination of roast pork and homebrewed beer. September 17th we are carrying on the tradition. We’ll be serving a variety of pork themed dishes, along with a homebrewed Belgian style Farmous ale. Beer not your thing? not a worry- we’ll be serving some excellent wines as well. The menu displayed below has the usual disclaimer- some minor changes may be made at any time before the event. Please let us know any food allergies ahead of time.

Consider us excited for this one,

-The Tamworth

Chef Frederick Aquino's Pumpkin Cheesecake

standardhotels:

Working in an environment where endless amounts of pastries, sweets and cakes abound is always a dangerous thing for us over here at The Standard hotels. In this specific moment though, we’re speaking about the genius that is pastry Chef Frederick Aquino from The Standard Grill.

For the fall season, Aquino has conjured up the most delectable pumpkin pie with gingersnap cookie crust and topped with sweetened crème fraiche. Now, through the kindness of Chef Aquino’s sweet heart (pun intended), he has offered up his recipe for you to try at home. The pictured candied pumpkin seeds are optional of course.

may 6th, 2010 - japan to the west in six steps

Japan to the west in six steps was a traverse from japanese cooking to western cooking using a six course meal as context. The dinner featured a heavy emphasis on ocean sustainability, each creature picked not just because of taste- but as a low-impact solution for taste. Perhaps no other sea creature encapsulates the taste of the ocean with such conviction as the sea urchin, and because of this pleasurable talent, the meal began with it.

dashi, miso, chili

BUTTER POACHED LOBSTER
