Summertime in Washington DC: an excellent time to get back in touch with fresh fruits and vegetables. Whether you live in the metro area or in the more rural suburbs, plentiful fresh produce is available in the markets and road side stands. Take the opportunity to peruse this fresh produce. Adding fresh ripe tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli and herbs to your dishes enhances not only the dishes’ flavor but their presentation. Bright, fresh palette of color for the eyes along with enhanced flavors for the palate make the summer season brighter in the kitchen.
At Palette Dome Cuisine, we continue our quest for creating fresh and creative foods for our customers. We are excited about the summer season as it brings so many of the flavors alive that we highlight in our cuisine. We carefully select fresh produce, focusing on those items that are either grown by local growers or in an organic environment. We find that these items are the best and most aromatic when it comes to sauces, seasonings or the main inputs in our dishes. As you make your mark in the summer kitchen and by your BBQ, make sure to remember to stop by your local farmer’s market, your garden or your nearest supermarket selling organic produce. You will taste and enjoy the difference! A simple insalata caprese with ripe red tomato, soft buffalo mozzarella and freshly picked sweet basil garnished with fine extra virgin olive oil cannot taste any better than in summertime.
The summer months continue to provide beautiful fruits and vegetables. Here at Palette Dome, we are excited during this time of the year. It makes for special flavors and dishes which we hope that we can share with you soon!
