Bites City (House) Living: A Ricotta Dessert Steals the Show
Posted by Lee Stabert on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 6:45 AM
I could spend this post talking about the entirety of our excellent family meal at City House--the artichokes with rosemary and walnut pesto, the simple kale salad, the delightful pizzas and the braised lamb pasta dish--but I really want to save all my love for a dessert that came highly recommended by our server: baked ricotta.
The cheese was house-made stuff--fluffy and creamy with what said server called "dairy brightness." The ricotta was mixed with a farm-fresh egg, baked and served warm, topped with a simple mixture of honey and chopped almonds. It was dangerously simple--the dish was really all about that mild, milky cheese. It was transcendent.
That little pot of goodness was delightful enough to eclipse a wonderful, moist rhubarb upside-down cake and a clever twist on the Arnold Palmer--lemon sorbetto paired with sweet tea granita. What else can I say; it was really, really special.
When was the last time a dessert blew your mind?
