Farmer's Market Bounty

Today Chef Ken visited the Camden Farmer's Market. Just picked lettuces, the first summer strawberries, artisan cheeses & locally foraged mushrooms were among his purchases. Summer herbs from the Atlantica herb garden grace the plates of many dishes. Visit soon and and celebrate the bounty of Maine!

Artichokes Are Her Thing

You can't read a food column these days without seeing some of the following words; fresh, organic, natural, sustainability, etc.

Since opeing in April, I have been receiving a super fresh artichoke product from my good friend, Jane. Jane, a former chef, owns and operates Monterey Farms & artichokes are her thing!

Monterey Farms is located in Sand City, CA which is located in the fertile Salinas Valley. The artichokes are grown and packaged right on the farm. Jane gets the just picked chokes and breaks them down into bottoms, hearts and a variety of pastes, and cryovacs them. No oils, no preservatives! Just fresh chokes, the product can't be beat!

No old or canned chokes coming into this kitchen.

Opening Weekend!

Atlantica opened last Friday the 18th to begin the 9th season of operation! The spring weather even had people inquiring about sitting on the deck! We enjoyed renewing contact with many regular customers and meeting visitors to the area.

The customers really liked the menu. Some of the standouts included the Lobster Spring Saute, Halibut with Crab Risotto, American Kobe Burger and a Grilled Scallop appetizer with Vietnamese Coconut sauce! Of course we still have our tasty house-made foccacia bread and refreshing desserts!

Come soon and enjoy a meal with us!
