We live for a gorgeous farm affair. Alicia Lund, founder of our outdoorsy obsession, Barebones, recently joined friend, Kevin O’Connor, the chef at large for Cobram Estate olive oil, to create a stunning Sonoma tea party. The lunch took place at the home of Sarah Anderson, founder of Chateau Sonoma - an impossibly stylish online source for gardening, cooking, and camping tools.
Sarah used linens and ceramics from her home store and tulip tree trimmings from her yard to accent the table. In addition to the lunch, Sarah demonstrated tips for preserving lemons freshly harvested from her trees.
"We quarter the lemons lengthwise while making sure they’re still intact at the base leaving them opened up a little before tossing with ample salt and packing into canning jars. You can’t really add too much salt. Some people like to season it a little with peppercorns or a bay leaf to add their own flair. They're great for dressings or adding tanginess to a recipe."
Kevin, a visionary urban farmer based in Sacramento with a love for foraging, cooked a menu highlighting extra virgin olive oil in dishes such including first-of-the-season strawberries with watercress and spring onions, blood orange honeycomb cake, and wild nettle and goat cheese olive oil tartlets -- we're sharing the tart recipe below! Yes -- brace yourself -- there is a lot of cheese, but life needs room for wholesome indulgence.
Take a peek inside the dreamy gathering and keep an eye out for more recipes from the gathering on the site soon...
