An Easter dinner for less than $40 for 4 people? It’s possible! Chef/Owner of Lachlan McKinnon Patterson of Frasca restaurant has upped the ante for the world of dining in Boulder, Colorado. Nominated as a “Rising Star Chef” by the James Beard Foundation and named a “Best New Chef” by Food and Wine Magazine, Lachlan and his Frasca team create Northern Italian fare receiving numerous glowing reviews. We love the fact that they strongly support local farmers with their seasonal menus and are active Slow Food members. Boasting the title of the “Best Wine List” in Denver’s Westword, they also have two master sommeliers in the house to ensure a perfect tasting experience.
And Top Chef Lovers unite! Bravo will premier a new show, Top Chef Masters in June! And guess who our favorite Colorado competing chef will be? None other than Lachlan himself!
In this video, Chef Lachlan prepares a boneless leg of lamb with glazed radishes, and an arugula salad with a pesto and pickled shallot vinaigrette. He completes the meal with his recipe for Gubana, a traditional Italian strudel-like Easter bread with raisins, walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts.
The written recipe may be found here. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
