June Quarterly Dinner photos
Pastis Landais: rich brioche cake flavored with rum, orange and vanilla
Last Wednesday June 6th, for our June Quarterly Dinner at Café Presse we celebrated the cuisine of the region of the Béarn. If you didn’t have the chance to attend, here are a few photos of the dishes served. Note we in the kitchen got a little too busy to photograph every course. But you can check out the entire menu from an earlier post.
And if you would like to receive emails with info about upcoming events at Le Pichet and Café Presse, be sure to sign up for our newsletters here.
Leeks vinaigrette: cold poached leeks served with Penn Cove clams marinated with thyme and green garlic, shellfish vinagrette and butter fried croutons
Poule au pot trial
In preparation for the upcoming June Chef’s Dinner at Cafe Presse, I recently put together a Poule au Pot trial run using a chicken from Hungry Hollow Farms.
Here are some photos of the process:
Here is the chicken as received from Hungry Hollow Farms and delivered by owner/farmer Grant Jones. GMO free, pasture raised and left free to hunt lots of bugs and worms, these birds develop a different body shape than intensively farmed chickens: the breast is smaller, the legs larger and firmer and overall there is less fat. The smell and flavor of the flesh is much earthier, slightly gamey, just plain more chicken-y. They remind me quite a lot of poulet fermier that we buy at the weekly farmer’s market in Orthez.

Hungry Hollow Farms at Café Presse Quarterly Dinner
For our June 2018 Quarterly Chef’s Dinnner at Café Presse, we will be preparing a traditional Poule au pot, featuring free-range, pasture raised farm chickens from Hungry Hollow Farms near Shelton WA.
THIS JUST IN: Artisan farmer/owner of Hungry Hollow Farms Grant Jones will be on hand to talk about how he works and to answer your questions. Says Grant of how he farms: “We’re putting animals back on the grass where they belong. When we raise animals outside on grass, they forage for greens and bugs. This natural diet produces meat and eggs with richer flavor and a superior nutritional profile.”
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet one of the local heroes who are working to put healthy food on our tables.
There are only a few remaining seats for this event.
Rerservations by telephone only 206.709.7674
We’re open on Memorial Day!
Café Presse and Le Pichet will both be open regular hours on Memorial day, Monday May 28, 2018.
Café Presse open 7am to 2am
Le Pichet open 8am to midnight
