Blue Hill at Stone Barns

Last Sunday, I had dinner at Blue Hill restaurant at Stone Barns. It was an experience. There was no menu. One only had a choice of 5 courses or 8 courses. If one had restriction, one has to inform the restaurant and they will work around the restriction. I was of course vegetaria/pescatorian. 2 out of the 8 dishes were fish. The food was outstanding in its freshness. The cooking method was also very ingenius. The use of fresh produce was evident. The servers brought the ingredients to the table to show us. The beet was very very sweet (it was cold, so it distressed the plant and as a result lots of sugar was produced). I particularly like the first dish which was blue fish marinate/pickled with pear in tangy juice, there was also the egg which was just so so fresh (the taste of the yolk was something else)and the dried beets (which tasted like prunes!)

Maybe one day we can learn and have kampung food from the farm like this!!!
