New Breakfast Menu Simply Rocks
There is increasing publicity about the value of a good hearty breakfast. "Eat like a king in the morning" seems to be the current 'buzz phrase'.
Well I don't know about you, but preparing food fit for a king at an ungodly hour of the morning (prior to flopping down at my trusty computer) is a tad beyond the realms of possibility 6 mornings out of 7. But today is SUNDAY, Fathers Day no less, so we marched ourselves off to Delish@12 to taste-test the new breakfast menu. Yes folks, in order to keep you all in the loop and up to speed with the inner workings of Destination Brooklyn, I took a hit for the team.
WOW! With careful time management I may just be able to cram breakfast at Delish@12 into my 7 day a week schedule. Frankly, we were paralyzed with indecision when we reviewed the menu. I settled for their very own Home-made Baked Beans in a vegetable ragout - topped with 2 divinely poached eggs.
This is a seriously healthy option for breakfast - gluten free, only healthy carbs, and a taste sensation to boot. Adrienne the resident chef at Delish@12 explained that the sweetness of the dish came from the choice of vegetables. This was not a dense tomato base 'a la tin', it was a light as air tomato base that made this gorgeous breakfast simply perfect.
Yesterday I watched a friend devour (sorry but that is the only word that comes to mind) a gorgeous breakfast bowl of Balsamic & Thyme Mushrooms served with baby roquette & goats cheese. I even watched his 2 year old daughter stuffing her chubby fists into the bowl at every opportunity. A 2 year old is a somewhat trusty barometer for the taste of vegetables I would have to suggest.
Enough talk though.
The menu is below, and at the very bottom is the address and contact details for Delish@12 - Brooklyn. From 8.00am in the morning, treat yourself to some seriously beautiful food prepared by chef Adrienne.
Adrienneis a qualified nutritionist, which means the menu has been researched and prepared with your health in mind. I have further updates coming about Adriennes home-made healthy chai tea (no synthetics), free range eggs that are to be served as of next week, new retail products being offered in their homewares section....so much to say and so little time.
