Recognition

Executive Chef Annie Somerville has earned a national reputation for her imaginative approach to vegetarian cooking. Using the finest seasonal produce, Somerville and her staff concentrate on simple, yet stylish dishes that have been inspired by the Mediterranean, Mexico and the American Southwest. Filo Turnovers with mushrooms, leeks and sundried tomatoes, Roasted Garlic Fettucine with braising greens and roasted peppers, and Southern Rio Stew with roasted butternut squash and rattlesnake beans are just a few examples of the farm-fresh and innovative meatless fare.

Her award-winning book, Fields of Greens: New Vegetarian Recipes from the Celebrated Greens Restaurant (Bantam Books), testifies to Annie Somerville’s fresh culinary vision. The following recipes have been adapted from the book. (You can use Melissa’s products when applicable):
