When people ask what was the best part of our trip, I have to say, hands down, that it was the food! I came back with so many recipes and ideas I wanted to try out. Here are some of the current favorites:


Brown Butter Sauce

1 stick of unsalted butter
6 fresh sage leaves
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper

In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat until pale golden - about 4 minutes. Add the torn sage leaves and cook until crsip, about 2 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper and nutmeg. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

We like to serve it over penne pasta with peas
