Starling or a grackle. Most likely a grackle.
New Delhi-born Suvir Saran, executive chef of Dévi – a 75-seat restaurant in the heart of New York City – visited a friend’s farm in Vermont a few years ago: a weekend jaunt that set in motion a new life adventure. Saran and partner Charlie Burd began fantasizing about a farm of their own, with chickens and goats and garden space. A half-dozen years later, their dreams have materialized in Masala Farm, a 67-acre piece of bucolic history where they live and work and cook and entertain friends. Saran’s new book, Masala Farm: Stories and Recipes from an Uncommon Life in the Country, co-written with Burd and Raquel Pelzel, tells the tale of their transformation from city-dwellers to country-lovers, and includes a mouthwatering bevy of recipes with an occasional Indian flair.
Organized by seasonal availability and flavor, the recipes include an eclectic array of vegetable delights, conscientiously raised meats – lamb pastrami, turkey/cheddar burgers, rabbit stew – and tempting sweets, from springtime strawberries-and-cream ice cream to autumn’s cognac-cured fruitcake, with summer and winter specialties rounding out the seasons. Some of these delicious concoctions can be sampled when Saran and Burd come to bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck on Saturday, April 7 from 3 to 6 p.m. for a celebratory book-signing and food-tasting event.
