New Pastry this October! Head on over to A Cup of Literature | Lifestyle Cafe on Cookman Avenue in AP to try our Brown Butter Miso Roasted Pear Scone. Cozy, buttery and a little unexpected. Made with slow roasted Bosc pears, nutty brown butter and a touch of white miso for that perfect sweet-salt balance + toasted almonds and a sesame seed sprinkle. Rustic, tender and not too sweet. Everything we love about fall baking with a little twist.

We are truly blessed with wonderful fresh produce from Farmer John and our friends over at the Olin Street Co-op! Tuesday is our volunteer day with Chef Dino over at Market Street Mission in Asbury Park. We love our farm fresh chopped basket - turning this into Chicken with roasted a Poblano peppers, corn, fresh garlic sauce. Taking all the greens and sautéing with the fresh herbs & garlic. And roasted potatoes with butternut squash. A million hugs and thank you’s to Amy and her team and Cathy for dropping off each week❤️❤️
