Allium Restaurant + Bar on WAMC's Culinary Corner This Week
08:56AM / Tuesday, March 10, 2009
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. – On Wednesday, March 11, Chef Joe Nastro of allium restaurant + bar will be featured on WAMC Northeast Public Radio’s “Culinary Corner” segment. The segment is first in a series of four radio interviews that will highlight selections from allium’s menu.
The WAMC listening area is home to a vast number of restaurants and every Wednesday at 10:35 a.m., WAMC airs “The Culinary Corner.” A member of the WAMC staff visits with a talented chef from a local eatery and together they teach the listener how to make a dish from the chef’s repertoire. This Wednesday’s segment will spotlight allium’s Celery Root and Apple Soup with Sage Oil featuring locally grown ingredients including celery root and herbs from Indian Line Farm and Farm Girl Farm in Egremont, apples from Green River Farm in Williamstown and local cider from Maynard Farm in Connecticut.
Future segments featuring allium restaurant + bar will include Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese, Pizza Dough from allium’s very popular Ten-Dollar Pizza Tuesdays and Wood-grilled Berkshire Pork with Polenta, Broccoli and Crispy Buttermilk Onions. Selected recipes spotlight locally grown ingredients when possible.
