The cook is often an unsung artist.
Despite the simple fare
In a greyish kind of day
The palette of the cook
Made all the difference today.
First grated dragon carrots
Were served with green pepitas,
On a white contrasting plate,
Followed by dark lentils du Puy
Accompanied by sautéed potatoes
In a savorous saffron sauce.
Dessert was pink strawberries
Soaked in homemade limoncello liquor.
A black coffee and macaroons
Finished this delightful lunch.
This was a feast of colours and flavours
To celebrate the end of winter
And the coming of spring.
My compliments to the chef!
