Farow is based on the philosophy of sourcing around 90% of our ingredients within 10 miles of the restaurant. We believe local seasonal food tastes better and supporting local is the best way forward. Citrus season hits at just the right time of year. With winter being cold and dark, and most seasonal produce being root-vegetable oriented, the brightness of citrus is an extremely welcome contrast to any dish. Here, it adds a welcome pop of color and sweetness to tangy, earth-pickled beets and creamy goat cheese. Farow will be serving up this colorful and taste-filled salad during their Valentine’s Day dinner, and now you can recreate with love in your home.

Legend has it that Venus' navel was the inspiration for Feburay 13th celebrated national food day – tortellini. The tale of its origin describes how a tavern owner attempted to spy on the goddess, and after only being able to see her navel through the keyhole, he returned to his kitchen inspired to make a delicious stuffed pasta in the shape of an outie. No matter how silly the story, I’m glad a chef decided that putting meat with cheese into a fun pasta would be a hit among Italians.
