The food prepared by Chef Brian was just amazing!  My favorite was this  Citrus Salad with Pomegranate Dressing that you can find in the P.Allen  Smith Seasonal Recipes From the Garden Cookbook.

The food prepared by Chef Brian was just amazing!  This is the Nicoise Salad that is featured in The  P.Allen  Smith Seasonal Recipes From the Garden Cookbook.  I snuck off during the tour and took some photos of the chef in his kitchen and even got a fun interview with him I will share on my website at BGgarden.com
