What can you say ab
out the Inn at Cochecton, the name we use to refer to the place where our friends Jeff and Fernando live in New York State. A 19th century farm house, organic gardens, apple and pear tre
es, acres of woods and walking and a recently aquired adjoining meadow and barn, all make for an amazing back drop to one of the best amateur chefs I know.After saying hi to Alban, the not so new puppy, we gorged ourselves on fresh tomatoes and cucumbers (
what the Brits refer to as "raw pickles). We then toured the barn and checked out the progress in the food gardens.The next day the big event was a bonfire in the new meadow. We filled the tractor wagon with chairs and tables and food and went to the meadow. Great food and great fun. Fernando made amazing empanadas.
