2013 artful food winter menu planning guide

Dear Chef, You are driven to re-imagine tradition and invent the future of cuisine with every plate. You’ve inspired us to push the boundaries between agricultural traditions and innovation, in order to provide you with unique ingredients that will propel your creativity. Our exploration into the vast category of vegetables, herbs and greens has unearthed hundreds of new flavors from around the world. We introduced dozens of these new ingredients in 2012 and look forward to bringing you even more in 2013.

Innovation is essential in everything we do on the farm – not just in research and development but in our growing methods, packaging and how we share information with you as well.

“Create” is the theme of our newest menu planning guide. We’ve heard from you and we know this is an important tool as you plan your menu.

In our constant pursuit to improve and better serve you, rest assured that one thing will remain the same. We are committed to our purpose and passion in life: growing vegetables with exceptional characteristics that enable you to create an exceptional meal. On behalf of my family and the entire Chef’s Garden team, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your kitchen.

"I was inspired by the jobs I started working in the front of the house. I saw a lot of food coming out of the kitchen that was very inspiring. I was doing catering and there was a melon with a kiwi carved into a flower and a bird. That was at the Monona Terrace catering company in Madison, WI. From there I found myself at cooking school in Florence, Italy working for a Pastry Chef named Andrea Bianchini. He was the man who first molded me as a Pastry Chef."
