I got to eat dinner at Moosewood! Having long appreciated their cookbooks, it’s been a dream of mine to someday make it there for a meal. And, as it turns out, the restaurant is only a couple of blocks from the hotel where I’m staying. Here’s the entree I had. (And yes, it was yummy.)
Filo Roll Primavera:
Flaky savory pastry with a creamy tofu filling of leeks, spinach, & arugula seasoned with fresh basil; served with marinated minted carrot salad.
I also got to have chipotle hummos, portobello and cheese filo rolls, as well as fresh bread, salad and olives. Plus a black rice pudding made with coconut milk for dessert. And some really good ginger and lemon tea.
I’m having a great time on the trip so far. Cornell is really beautiful, with some striking scenery and views, and it feels like Spring here. I had fun presenting the poster, and have heard loads of good talks. The drive out yesterday evening was fun and festive, and went pretty fast. (Only 7 hours!)
I am pretty wiped out, though. Really, what I should be doing now is sleeping. But I got to eat at Moosewood!

yuuuuuummmm
I feel like I made that filo roll one Thanksgiving as a main dish for a vegetarian friend. It is yummy! Sounds like a great meal.
How cool that you got to eat at Moosewood! I’ve used my cookbook so much that I’m onto my third copy.
Have a great trip!
How fun.
I’ve only been to Ithaca once. I still remember the directions that my brother gave me. They included, towards the end, “down the hill down the hill down the hill”. I say that often.
oh, yum. nothing’s better than well-prepared, creative food. glad you get to sneak a little vacation-esque into the meeting!
Sounds wonderful!
you’re making me hungry!
You’re in my old ‘hood…I grew up not far from there. Gorgeous, especially in summer…
Oh wow. Now I’m jealous! (I’m glad you had such a good supper!)
“yummy yum” as diego would say…
That sounds excellent indeed. Hope the presentation went well, and that you got a little time to poke around Ithaca. My BFF lives there and I don’t get to visit nearly enough.
My brother went to Cornell- glad it wasn’t frigid there as it often is. And -dude- what a meal.
