~Angela Cotta

I had the absolute privilege of growing up in one of the most bountiful regions in the United States...“California’s Heartland.”

As a child, I spent many days a week at my Grandparent’s Ranch in Ceres, CA, running through the almond orchard and riding on the tractor with my Nonu. It was on that very Ranch (which remains in our Family to this day) where my
love for “farm-to-fork” ingredients first began. Besides their forty acres of almonds, Nonu and Nana had a small plot of land that surrounded their farmhouse where they had planted an array of fruits and vegetables. Depending on the season, you could find anything from zucchini, basil, and fava beans to peaches, plums, and apricots. Being able to plant, pick, prepare, and plate this fresh produce was essentially the beginning of my culinary quest. Needless to say, it is a heritage that I am so very proud of having. So here I am... after twelve years of living in Southern California as a professional musician, I’ve headed back home to the Central Valley with my extremely supportive husband, Kit Casey (aka: “The Taste Tester”), & find myself pursuing a food-filled fantasy. Please join me on this tasty adventure of fresh, family-inspired recipes.

Just a reminder: We are open on Halloween Saturday, from 10 AM till 1 PM! 👻 🎃

P.S. Everything on the posted menus are currently available. The only items that are in limited quantity are the Caramel Apples & Pretzels... since they are a multi stage process and take time to craft, we finished them off today for all of our verified pre-orders. We also made a few extras that are up for grabs on Halloween, first-come first-served! Thank you.

TIRAMISU! What better way to use up a few extra eggs than to create the most luscious tiramisu.😍 If you've everbeen to Italy and had a traditional tiramisu, you know that it is lighter than what the typical American tiramisu can be. Our version takes on the authentic Treviso style tiramisu using egg yolks, mascarpone, savoiardi ladyfinger biscuits, espresso & a liberal dusting of cocoa powder. I made it up yesterday, so it has had enough time to set up and become exactly what it is meant to be: Delicious! We have small individual pans, as well as medium sized options that will feed 2 to 3 people. Something to note: Traditional tiramisu is made with raw egg yolks. We do not use raw egg yolks here… I take the time to pasteurize them properly so that our younger guests, pregnant women and older folks who might be immunocompromised can enjoy it as well. Also to note: This version does not have any booze in it either. Though, come the holidays, you can be guaranteed we will have a boozy version available as well!

Hello Everyone.

Welp, it’s been a rocky few days. We had a MAJOR breakdown at The Kitchen: Our walk-in, which is our main refrigeration, decided it was time to retire. 😢 Personally, I think it was quite rude of it not to hold out until I, too, was ready to put my feet up... but alas, here we are.

That being said, I'm so sorry to tell you that we will not be able to prepare fresh lunch service this week. The safety of our customers is, and has always been, our number one priority, and I do not feel comfortable working with fresh food items without our walk-in working properly. Parts have been ordered, and now it’s just a waiting game as to when they will have everything up and running again.

Here’s the good news: We have been working our behinds off over these past few weeks stocking up our freezers in anticipation of the cooler weather and Holiday Season, so we will DEFINITELY be open this week for take-home freezer meals AND fresh-baked goodies. If your freezers might need a little pick-me-up, or you know people who might really like to have the convenience of homemade meals at their fingertips, please spread the word and come on down and see us this week… We would so very much appreciate it. Thank You ~xoxo 🫶

It’s that time again: Time to order your “Big Boo” and “Little Boo” Treat Boxes for all of your favorite ghouls and goblins!

This year we have a lovely assortment of cookies, bars and chocolates/bark. The boxes are a great way to show your love and/or your appreciation for family, friends, neighbors, teachers and coworkers (to name just a few!). If you are throwing a party and would like to have an array of goodies on display, feel free to order all of your favorites off of our à la carte menu.

You can find all of the pertinent info on the attached order form. We kindly ask that you place your orders no later than Thursday, October 22nd, so that we may accommodate everyone's needs. Also, please note that there are two pick up days/times available: Thursday, October 29th, between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM; and on Saturday, October 31st (Halloween Day!) between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM.

The colors say it all… Welcome Autumn!

On special this week is our Autumn Salad with a gorgeous variety of locally grown apples and pears, toasted walnuts, pickled red onions, blue cheese crumbles, with a splash of aged balsamic & our from-scratch blue cheese dressing. This customer decided to add on sliced roasted chicken breast to their salads to balance out all of the deliciousness. And you know what that means, right?! If you have a healthy, balanced lunch, that leaves room for a little treat or two. And let me tell you, we've got LOTS of goodies to choose from this week, and they are all made from start-to-finish right here at The Kitchen!

Give us a call to place your order - Thank You! 209.664.2004

Hello everyone!

Well, the calendar says we are officially in October, however you wouldn't necessarily know it with the 100+ degree weather happening in our valley right now - Yowza! That being said, we're keeping things a little lighter this week with our roasted red pepper, basil & feta sandwiches AND gorgeous autumn salad with fresh pears, apples & toasted walnuts. Both specials are vegetarian, but you have the option to add on a protein of your choice, like our sliced roasted chicken breast or prosciutto di parma - either protein will pair perfectly with our specials this week. Check out all of the details on our attached menus.

Also to note, our chocolate peanut butter crispy bars are back for a limited time! The ghouls and the goblins will be out before you know it, and we have a couple of traditions that we always bring back just in time for the spookiness. These crispy bars do not have any kind of marshmallows in them… the crispies are bound by the most decadent mixture of dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter, and are great when enjoyed at room temperature for a fudgy consistency, or straight out of the fridge for more of a crispy candy bar texture. Either way, we think you'll love them!

P.S. When you come into The Kitchen, make sure to check out our display counter for any extras that we might be serving up. If I even get a little extra time on my hands, I LOVE to create new & tasty items for you all to try. Hope to see you this week! 😘

Another week of Banana Bread - Yay!

Truth be told, I don't have just one go-to banana bread recipe that I enjoy making. Whichever recipe I choose to bake on any given day depends on the weather, the season, and what kind of feelings are flying through the air. Whatever the case, you know I'm ALWAYS going to share a slice with you!

This week we're featuring a Maple Molasses Banana Bread that (we think) hits the mark just perfectly as we stroll on into October. Hope you love it!
