I started trying my hand yesterday at the french mother sauces. for lack of crazy (haute) ingredients such as veal stock, it came out pretty good.




quinoa: basil & lavender, plus caramelised onions
beets: simply roasted with olive oil
sauce aux champignons: puree of brown roux, veggie stock, a little bit of balsamic, and sauteed mushrooms.

thanks to tak, my sous chef for the evening.

I would have put beet greens on top too, but the ones attached to these beets were all wilted.

also, these tomatoes from the CSA (courtesy of mellowcupcake) are the best colours.
