The Chefs: Philip Gelb and Cori Spence
The Menu: (Please make sure you are sitting down/not drinking hot liquids before you read this to reduce the risk of falling/spitting coffee all over your computer.) Ok, first we enjoyed an incredible black-lentil soup that was perfectly spiced. It warmed us from the inside out on this blustery, winter day. Next up, we enjoyed the trio of treats you see here, namely ravioli, salad, and collard rolls. The rolls had homemade tempeh, rice, kabocha squash, and an incredibly good marinade. The salad was blood oranges, fennel, and greens with blood-orange vinaigrette. Oh, and that ravioli? That would be filled with pumpkin and homemade vegan cheese, and covered in a perfect pesto. No, it does not end there. We also devoured the amazing poached-pear tart that you see below with homemade vegan banana-chocolate ice cream.
The Goods: You know what? Just go ahead and see above if you want to hear about goods. This meal was freaking incredible. This is the second time Philip has graced us with a delicious lunch, and we hope to see lots more of him in the future.

Fresh vegan pasta! I'm in love. This looks sensational.

OH this is incredible! Wow, lookin real tasty.
My goodness - if you haven't yet tasted Phil's creations, you are missing a huge pleasure in life!!! Vegan or not, everyone will love his food! I have known Phil longer than he has been a 'chef' and may I just say, he was born to cook!
Thank you, VegNews, for enlightening the unenlightened.
