A January Menu

January menus typically feature a lot of game and meat, while emphasis on fish is lighter simply because customers stop ordering fish from the holidays through the start of Lent. Wild mushrooms, particularly hedgehogs and black trumpets from our forager in Oregon, are plentiful. What we find at the farmer’s market is limited to apples, potatoes, leeks, greens, Brussels sprouts, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and winter squashes. We get a bit of mâche, arugula, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), and radishes from the greenhouse. We tend to feature more comfort dishes such as soups and braised dishes.
