Another culinary critique~ Pickity Place

This is the cottage that the first Golden Books story of Little Red Riding Hood was illustrated after. It is fitting that it lies in the middle of the woods out in the no-man's land of New Hampshire. No wonder Red had such a frightful time.There is a room in the house that is dedicated to the tale.



It so happens that this charming home was made into a restaurant named Pickity Place. An herb farm makes up the majority of the surrounding grounds.


The restaurant only seats at three different times for lunch. They serve the same courses to everyone, with the exception of the main entree, of which two choices are given. The menu changes monthly. All of the food was made with one or more of the herbs from their garden. Even the chocolate crumble cake was garnished with a fresh sprig of sweet mint. My favorites were the veggie herb dip on crackers, the cardamom butter on Portuguese sweet bread, the Chicken Saltimbocca and yes, the cake.

Oh, and how could I forget the lavender lemonade. It was divine!

Thanks, Suzanne, for taking me to such a memorable place. I had a great time eating and talking with you.
