This morning, friends and strangers got together for a Secret Breakfast Club. We sat in the garden at the Edible Schoolyard started by Alice Waters in Berkeley.
April 5th, 2014, 3pm
It was 17.2°C with few clouds. The breeze was brisk.
We had a delicious garden-to-table meal that included Moroccan chickpeas with lamb and poached egg, spinach and citrus salad with dates and olives, and a dessert of saffron panna cotta with candied kumquats and hibiscus reduction.
The Edible Schoolyard is at Martin Luther King Jr Middle School in Berkeley. It’s a project started by Alice Waters with the Chez Panisse Foundation. The school children tend to the garden and the chickens, and the entire 1-acre space is open to the public.
We enjoyed eating out under the blue skies, surrounded by lazy bumble bees, morning birds, and spring flowers.
