We were delighted to have award-winning rising star chef Patricia Burdette of Crescent Moon Wine Bar take the reigns at RecipeHouse for our October Chef Surpríse dinner. Drawing inspiration from Tuscany, Chef Patty presented dishes that capitalized on robust but light-handed flavors and carefully selected wine pairings.
A perfect example was the second course. Thinly sliced eggplant and yellow squash transformed into elegant wide "noodles" that were piled high and bathed in a creamy white sauce that, which looked like a rich bechamel, but once on the tongue provided a subtle lemony lightness, a perfect farewell to summer produce.
