I love seasonal menus. It just doesn’t feel right to make summer food in the winter. In the winter we need cozy, in the summer we need cool and fresh- that’s how I believe food should be. When I’m making a new menu, I take ideas from 3 main areas: I look and see what my favorite restaurants are putting on their menus, I take a few of my previous menu dishes and update them, and I check out my favorite websites for recipes. I usually don’t take the recipes word for word but I look at the ingredients and I play around with things but they are always a good starting point : ). Here’s a list of my website go-to’s (in no particular order):
