Reserve Cut
Last week, my husband (Richard) and I found ourselves on West 25th Street at an opening for a South African sculptor. How being on West 25th Street led Richard to suggest calling Reserve Cut on Broad Street (way East), I’ll never know. Anyway, we asked if we could arrive in […]
Apricot-Raspberry Tart
This Apricot-Raspberry Tart is a prime example of eating with your eyes before you have your first bite. The orange apricots, red raspberries and green pistachios make you feel like you’re jumping into a beautiful painting. The almond cream or frangipane in French, gives you the mouth feel of a […]
