Many people assume summer is the best season for fruits and veggies, but in fact you will find that September and October is when farmer’s markets are jam-packed and bursting with the most flavor and variety in the New York area.
Here is the menu for the meal I am cooking at my client’s home tonight. I am using a variety of fall ingredients and giving it an Asian twist, with a special dessert, also made from scratch.
Appetizer:
Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Seed Rice Paper Rolls w/Cranberry-Chile Dipping Sauce
Main Course:
Marinated Asian Tempeh
Baby Bok Choy with Crispy Shallots and Sesame Seeds
Green Tea Rice with Almonds
Dessert:
Almond Cookie Green Tea Ice Cream Sandwiches
