Image of the Day: Yoghurt Panna Cotta
Nook Eatery’s Yoghurt Panna Cotta, topped with roasted rhubarb, is one of those deliciously ambiguous dishes you don’t know whether to eat for dessert, for breakfast, or as a sweet snack. Regardless of when you decide to chow down on this creamy creation though, the sweetness of the vanilla bean and tartness of the Greek yogurt will always be perfectly complemented by the roasted rhubarb (whose flavor is coincidentally the perfect combination of tart and sweet). The colors the rhubarb imparts on the white yogurt also make this dish quite easy on the eyes.

Image of the Day: Chive Flower Vinegar
What do you do with those little, purple flowers that bloom atop chive stalks? Make Jax House’s Chive Flower Vinegar of course! Beyond looking pretty darn good on your kitchen table (check out the gorgeous pink hue of this concoction), the hint of oniony chive makes it perfect in vinaigrettes and great for pickling. We’re loving it as sauce for German-style potato salads.

The name of this sandwich perfectly encapsulates how we feel about it: It’s darn good.

Serve it with an ice cold Pilsner and a side of home made fries to create one epic trifecta.
