with all those who haven't eaten;
let us spread great tablecloths,
put salt in the lakes of the world,
set up planetary bakeries,
tables with strawberries in snow,
and a plate like the moon itself
from which we can all eat.

LE MENU
♥ APPETIZER
I. The Reaping
An abundant cornucopia awaits on the banquet table; a Dutch still life overwhelming in an extravagant explosion of color, shape, and symbolism. Reach in and pluck out a perky carrot, a bulging aubergine, a frisky scallion. Mince it, dice it, add it to the simmering pot. At the Harvest Moon, we cook together and eat together.
II. Breaking the Bread
Luke Burrage knows how to toss a big baguette. Or two or even three.
III. The Gathering
The Harvest Goddesses descend on the table, wearing hoop skirts lavishly embellished with a seasonal array of edible art. Seeded and herbed beetroot, turmeric, and spinach breadsticks, pretzels, and hoops dangle invitingly from festive ribbons. Marinated autumn vegetables wait to be plucked. Served with a decadent array of homemade dips, sauces, and créme.
♥ MAIN COURSE

VI. Abundance
Three Sisters Ciambotta; a hearty, rustic, vegetarian stew celebrating nature's bounty. The three sisters of Native American cuisine - beans, corn, and squash - are combined to to create a warming comfort food, slow simmered with tomatoes, root vegetables, herbs, and spices.
