Peaches on the menu and a recipe too!

A couple of years ago I met then New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Charles Kuperus. He was a throw back to some of my professors (and classmates) when I was at Cook College (Rutgers College of Agriculture and Environmental Science); educated, articulate, smart and sill a farmer at heart; very down to earth. He was eating a luscious juicy peach, standing up, learning over a little so that it didn’t drip onto his shirt, thoroughly enjoying it like someone who completely grasps what it to takes to grow those yummy morsels of summer sweet goodness. When he was finished he stood up straight and proclaimed “a good peach is a leaner!” Yup, a good peach is nice and juicy (not dry and hard!) and those juices will dribble all over you if you don’t lean out and away. It’s gravity.

The Frog and The Peach announces a very special Dinner and Concert event on Friday August 6, 2010 at 7:00 pm

A Night at The Opera; 5-Course Italian Wine Dinner

With Lyric Soprano Annamaria Stefanelli

Something new and just for fun, on a Friday in August, The Frog and The Peach in New Brunswick NJ is taking the ordinary Wine Diner and kicking it up a notch, matching food to wine inspired by arias from Sicily, Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples. We are delighted to host lyric soprano Annamaria Stefanelli, performing arias from some of the most beloved repertoire of Italian Opera. Both the dinner and the concert will take place in our garden room (covered in the event of rain).

Three Course Prix Fixe Menu $56

Lovely range of Spring choices in appetizers, entrees, desserts

Yes we know we're not a Mexican restaurant, yet Mexico is where owners Jim and Betsy go every time they get a chance and home to Chef Bruce's lovely wife. So, to acknowledge our affinity with Los Estados Unidos de Mexico,

Our featured cocktail at The Frog and The Peach “Between The Sheets”, a spring time cocktail from Harry’s Bar (Paris) created in the 1930’s.

BETWEEN THE SHEETS: Some say the name of this cocktail comes from the expression “two sheets to the wind” (i.e. inebriated.). Others, well, use your imagination. Basically is a variant of the better-known Sidecar, but more fun to order because the name raises eyebrows. It is believed to have been created (like so many cocktails) at Harry’s Bar in Paris in the 1930’s, and because it’s spring time and so many love Paris in the springtime, we made it our featured Classic Cocktail until we are moved to come up with another one. Its main ingredients are Remy cognac, Benedictine, Cointreau and lemon juice.

Two New Winter Farm-to-Table Prix Fixe Menus
3-Coures $29 and 5-Course $59

While New Jersey farmers are placing orders for seed and planning for spring planting, it’s into their root cellars, silos, cold frames, green houses and stashes of dried and preserved fruits and mushrooms we go for local fruit and vegetables. Combine them with cheese, poultry and seafood, attainable year round, and we’ve got 2 New Winter Prix Fixe menus that are Jersey fresh.
