Last Friday, April 13th, 2012, Le Pichet Chef de Cuisine Brent Harding rolled out our new menu for Spring. The local Spring vegetables are just starting to arrive and we, as cooks, are always longing to begin using and eating them as soon as possible after the long winter.
The new dishes feature Yakima asparagus, spring onions, mint, peas, fava beans, rhubarb and much more. Here are some photos to tempt your appetite. Check out the new menu or just come by Le Pichet to try the new dishes yourself.
