My final post of last week’s Adventure Camp, with lots of pics of the kids! (Coming soon: pics from this week) . Our Culinary Adventure Camp is all about experiencing the real food of real people, in the real world. We use public transportation (and do a LOT of walking) to make our way through NYC, meet new people and eat great food. . The first pic is all of our shoes, on the High Line (elevated park) on Thursday. . Second pic is all of us at @sigiri_nyc , a Sri Lankan restaurant where we had fish rolls. . Other restaurant pics are Grill 21 (Filipino halo halo dessert) and @oldtbilisigarden (Georgian lunch). . Other pics are: . Chillin at Washington Square Park . Walking down the street, with the Empire State Building in the distance . Completely unplanned stop at @stickysfingerjoint we stumbled onto . Walking through the entry to the Irish Hunger Memorial downtown (another spur of the moment stop) . Eating chicken fingers in Chinatown . Throwing coins in the fountain at @the_met_museum_of_art (another unplanned stop that just happened to work out) . The kids were great, and we had a total blast all week! . . . #adventurekitchen #adventurecamp #summercamp #nyceats #montclair #montclairnj
Scenes from our visit to @itsteranga_ on Friday. Teranga is the restaurant founded by @chefpierrethiam within the brand-new @theafricacenter , which is right at the northernmost eastern corner of Central Park in Harlem. . I first met Chef Pierre a few years ago at a tasting and talk he gave at @mofad about Senegalese food. (If you want to learn more, check out either of his two cookbooks: Senegal or Yolele.) . Teranga is a really great, casual place to hang out and enjoy authentic Pan-African food. It feels like a comfortable part of the neighborhood, with couches, murals on the walls, and people using the WiFi to get work done. . The menu was designed by Chef Pierre to be both authentic and accessible at the same time. You build-your-own plate or bowl by ordering a little of this and a little of that over a glass counter. Even though it’s casual counter service, they’ve made a point to use no disposables, with metal forks and trays, enameled metal dishes and glasses for water. . This first pic was my plate: chicken, watermelon salad, collards and fonio with peanut sauce. Fonio is an ancient Senegalese grain that Chef Pierre has been working to introduce to this country. You can find it at New York area Whole Foods, and Chef tells me it’ll be available at more locations soon. (Can’t wait!) 😋 . . . #adventurekitchen #adventurecamp #summercamp #senegalesefood #africanfood #fonio #nyceats #montclair #montclairnj
Food scenes from our Culinary Adventure Camp last week. The first pic was taken by one of our campers, Ella B, at @fishguysnyc in Chelsea Market. This is me holding a plate of juicy oysters, which was our very first taste at camp last week! . Other pics are: . Piraguas cart at the northern tip of Central Park in Harlem. (I had tamarindo 😋) . My plate at @itsteranga_ , with fonio (a Senegalese grain), peanut sauce, chicken, collards and watermelon salad. (More on all this in a separate post) . Our table at @misslilys Jamaican restaurant, with oxtail stew, jerk chicken, plantains, ackee and salt cod, and a roti wrap with chicken, rice and more inside. . Paletas from @lanewyorkina on the High Line. . Halo halo (Filipino frozen dessert) at Grill 21. . Sri Lankan fish rolls from @sigiri_nyc . And gooseberries and sugar snap peas from @unionsquaregreenmarket . . We are starting Week 2 of Culinary Adventure Camp today! Pics from this week coming soon (as soon as I finish catching up from last week!) 😘 . . . #adventurekitchen #adventurecamp #summercamp #nyceats #montclair #montclairnj
Our Adventure Camp continues into a second week starting today! This top pic was taken by a team of 2 campers last week: Adrian and Ethan. And it won the photo contest for Tuesday last week! . It’s a picture of rambutan, a south Asian fruit we sampled in Chinatown. In the second picture, you can see what rambutan looks like whole, alongside some lychee and jackfruit that we also tried that day. . To eat rambutan, you can just gently bite through the outer skin with your teeth (that’s what we did - it’s much gentler than it looks!) or you could use a knife or even your fingers to break through the skin. Just be gentle so the fruit inside stays intact. . Then you can just use your teeth to grab the fruit out of the other half and pop it into your mouth. Just spit out the seed inside when you get to it. . The flavor of rambutan reminds me of grapes, and they’re very similar to lychee (also pictured whole) as well. . The flavor of jackfruit (the yellow one) is a little like mango, but much firmer. So no juice to dribble down your arm. The fruit pods pictured grow inside a humongous, spiky outer shell, and it’s an adventure just to open one of those babies up to get to the fruit inside! So lucky for us, the fruit vendor had already done the work and our jackfruit was ready to eat as pictured. . We had a whirlwind week, so I’m still catching up on posting the pics! More coming later today from last week, and then all this week from our second week of Adventure Camp. Stay tuned! 😘 . . . #adventurekitchen #adventurecamp #summercamp #newyorkfood #chinatown #chinatownnyc #nyceats #montclair #montclairnj #rambutan #lychee #jackfruit #asianfruit #asianfruits
