Culinary Quiz


- Had a terrific dinner last weekend at the Herb Lyceum in Groton. The cheese course featured an unusual garnish. Take a guess what wild edible sits atop that little dollop of chevre at the end of the fork.

    Finally a tracking question I think I can answer!

    I wonder if you could make flavored chevre by grazing your goats on it?

    We're grilling a leg of lamb this weekend, and I'll probably grill some flatbread with za'atar to go with it. Here's my favorite sumac recipe:

    Full credit goes to you, Dan. (Anonymous, you were just an hour too late.) And I must admit to being impressed that you have favorite sumac recipe. Enjoy your meal of lamb and flatbread with za'atar.
