…but you sure tasted good.

Hot damn! Nothing better than summer tomatoes. And I just got a batch from the parents garden, which are second to none. Add some Jersey corn and you’ve got the makings for a killer tomato pie. Delicious!

One of our favorite office snacks around here is yogurt and granola. And recently after taking note of how much sugar they all have (not to mention the price) we decided to start making our own. SO much better tasting than what you buy at the store. Boom. See ya later store bought granola!

It’s that time of year again that we dread more than anything.  Today, we put away the Pantone books and pulled out the calculators.  It’s tax time.  The only way we see getting through this painful stretch is with something sweet to fuel us.  And a lemon tart certainly did the trick. We put our own twist on it with a rosemary, pinenut crust, and I have to say, I think it was a winner.  Now, if we can just be so lucky with our taxes…

Happy holidays y’all! Keep creating & cooking in the new year…

After 2 wonderful years of being in business, LMNOP has finally carved out some time to shoot all of our newest work…and update our website! Here are some snaps from the shoot. We decided to keep things simple and shoot in my apartment. Which was secretly just an excuse for us to be able to make a delicious lunch and, best of all, have our 2 trusty assistants with us. Miss Frida May and Mr Sasha. Those are some good lookin beasts!

AND a huge Thank You to the talented artist Phillip Angert for taking the amazing shots of our work. Check back soon for the updates on the site…or friend us on Facebook and we’ll keep you posted!

There’s nothing like homemade pasta to make any day brighter. LMNOP took a pasta making class at The Brooklyn Kitchen a while back and figured it was time to try out the recipe ourselves! The good news…it’s easy and amazingly tasty. The bad news…you will certainly have a new calorie filled addiction. This day we made ravioli with butternut squash filling and a simple butter sage sauce. OooooooWeeeee! Out of this world. Now back to work.

Last week we spent the day at the new midtown location of The Smith. Over the past 6 months we’ve been working on the rebranding of the restaurant, designing all the pieces: logos, menus, collateral, website etc.

The new location on 2nd Avenue and 51st is an amazing space. We were lucky enough to work with the talented Quentin Bacon on photographing the retaurant and the food. Which meant we sampled just about everything on the menu. Still our favorite: roasted tomato soup!

Here are a few quick snaps from the day. We’ll be posting all of the work shortly on our website. In the meantime check out Quentin’s photos and the new look of The Smith.

Steamers with garlic butter and Rose. Not a bad way to christen LMNOP’s Montauk branch. Happy summer y’all!

This entry is a little bit of a departure from the usual entries – but we couldn’t resist posting these sweet pics! Spring is here and with it brings back all the colors we love. I spent some time with my family last weekend and put my little chicks (Olivia, Grace and Abby) to work, making giant homemade pom-poms and colored eggs galore. Spring has certainly sprung…hooray!
