After nearly a half-dozen failed attempts, we finally managed to dine at Amanda Cohen’s fabulous DIRT CANDY, a vegetarian prix fixe menu that is decidedly non-vegan (they are not afraid of cream and butter). What a fabulous experience! If we could cook at this level, I would gladly forego meat forever.
The meal started with simple but quite delightful bread
Dish 1: seaweed caviar
Dish 2: Radicchio and bitter vegetables with creamy za’atar sauce
Dish 3: Mushroom pate
Dish 4: Onion tartar
Dish 5: Korean broccoli
Dish 6: Carrot confit sliders
Dish 7: Brassica broth
Dish 8: Brussel sprout larb
Dish 9: Chocolate mushroom (stock photo inserted – I didn’t get to take my photo before they poured hot chocolate over the top and melted the pretty mushroom…)
Dish 10: Chard sundae
Dish 11: Cauliflower buttercream cake
