From tender spring lamb to impossibly creamy burrata, leading chefs know that fresh local ingredients are the key to memorable meals.
To showcase the region’s culinary riches, the Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook hand-picked top stars of Connecticut’s culinary scene to collaborate on a killer, multicourse feast with wine pairings. The evening’s inspired local menu, spotlighting regionally raised ingredients, features local treasures including briny Noank Oysters and succulent Lobster plucked from the Long Island Sound; handmade Bleu Cheese from Bantam’s Arethusa Farm, and heritage-breed duck from New Hartford’s MarWin Farm.
As a parting gift, all guests will receive a copy of "The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook," a title that celebrates the relationship between passionate Connecticut chefs and the hardworking farmers, fishermen, ranchers and food artisans who supply them.
