🥖 SUNDAY FUNDAY!
This morning we baked up something cozy: a Crusty Rustic No Knead Bread, straight from the oven. Golden, warm, and begging for a pat of butter 🧈.

Simple. Satisfying. Soulful.

Fazzoletti di Seta – “Silk Handkerchiefs” with Basil Pesto 🌿🍝

A new take on our hand-rolled Fazzoletti di Seta pasta, named for its delicate, silky texture. This version features a vibrant, traditional basil pesto made with herbs harvested straight from the Crave Culinary Arts garden. Finished with toasted pine nuts, micro basil, and a generous dusting of Parmigiano Reggiano, this dish is as fragrant as it is flavorful.

Light, airy, and bursting with the sweet intensity of fresh basil, it's the essence of summer on a plate. Pair it with a crisp Loire Valley white wine and the taste buds sing. Bon Appétit! 🍾🍇🍷

Our beautifully plated appetizer evokes a summery, Provençal vibe — and judging by the visual clues and your hint ("summer fun in the South of France"), here's an educated guess:

Creamy component: Likely goat cheese (specifically something like chèvre frais or a light goat cheese mousse or panna cotta), a staple in southern French cuisine. Its smooth texture and mild tang match the appearance.

Sweet component: These look like wild strawberries (fraises des bois), which are beloved in the South of France for their intense, floral sweetness and tiny size — a classic summer ingredient.

Paired with microgreens and a drizzle of olive oil, this dish is probably a delicate balance of creamy, tangy, sweet, and herbal — the essence of a refined Provençal summer appetizer.

WHAT’S FOR CRAVE FAMILY DINNER TONIGHT?! 🔥🍜
It may be blazing hot outside, but we’re turning up the heat inside with our house-made Vietnamese Pho!

The soul of this dish is the broth — simmered for hours with beef bones and infused with warming spices like star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. The result? A deeply flavorful, aromatic base that’s both comforting and crave-worthy. 😁😁😁

Served with tender rice noodles, fresh basil, cilantro & bean sprouts, and a squeeze of lime for that perfect pop of brightness.

Simple. Soulful. Satisfying.

HAPPY SUNDAY! ✨

We are always so grateful when our clients take the time to share their appreciation! 💛 Our recent Summer & Wine Sips in the Air 🌿🍷 dinner party was a true celebration of flavor, creativity, and connection. The unique menu was a hit — but what truly made the evening special were the incredible guests.

A heartfelt thank you to Matt S. for this glowing Google review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Add my five-star review to all the others! Chef Monique knocked it out of the park on 7/26 for our out-of-town guests. An intimate dinner party where she truly put the 'art' in culinary arts. Every course was beautifully presented and tasted even better. She also provided excellent options for wine pairings. If you want to elevate an occasion from special to extraordinary, look no further and book Chef Monique!"

From curated wine pairings to artful plating, it's our joy to create experiences that linger long after the last sip. Cheers to more unforgettable evenings! 🥂
