Spring has definitely Sprung!

Fiddlehead ferns (usually emerging Lady ferns here in the West) must be cooked before eating

Among other recipes, we are pickling them with wild ramps, spring onions & Nantes carrots

Green almonds- fuzzy unripe almonds, can be shaved and eaten raw, the translucent kernel can be removed and served separately and the green shell used to flavor sauces or soup. I am using a traditional Lebanese brine to preserve them whole

Conifer buds are really delicious, a surprise lemon lime bite and juniper berry flavor, picked when young, tender and yellow or light green. These are deodar buds

Musky storksbill, this low lying plant is everywhere here in the spring, the young shoots and flowers are edible, the seed pods look like storks bills

Fava beans, take a little work but so delicious! The young beans need to be removed from the pod, blanched and peeled

California is the largest producer of artichokes in the US, they take a little work to get to the ❤️ but are really delicious. Thistle family member, great shaved raw, fried, pickled or poached

Loquats are one of the first spring fruits, they can be eaten raw but make great preserves or sorbet

Bottlebrush flowers and leaves make a fragrant tea or syrup, reminiscent of eucalyptus

Miners lettuce is one of the first spring greens, containing enough vitamin C that the CA gold miners used it to prevent scurvy during this season of little fresh fruit. Crunchy, slightly acidic, they are best eaten raw

For anyone who has not worked in this industry, it is hard to imagine the passion, sacrifice, hard work and determination it takes to open and run a successful restaurant in the best of circumstances.
Those who make the most of it, day in and day out, through the heat & stress, sharp knives & hot oil, weekends, holidays, long hours & tight budgets, always striving to create something special for their guests but never satisfied with their work, are truly special, arguably a little crazy, and I salute you all!

Please support your local restaurants, wear masks when appropriate and understand that we are all doing our best. Local restaurants, especially those which buy from regional growers, are a benefit to the community, however their existence is more fragile than most can imagine and they can only exist through your support.

I feel truly blessed to have been a part of the team and story for the last few years. Thank you to all of the guests, staff and the support of our partners throughout all of it. It is an unfortunate sign of the times and the Rosewood team will be missed terribly.

It took me a week and plenty of organic crunchy peanut butter to catch this ratatouille in the garage. Looks like I managed to convince him there’s no bloody way he’s going back to the fields, jumped right back under the car!! 🐀 🥜
